I have not seen the movie but if you are speaking of the dark gold gown, the
head piece is a bouquet(?) of white and speckled feathers.
Gowns can be seen here

Before I went to see the movie there was talk of the costumes on another
list I'm on of people that went to see it. I agree with what was said about
the lace on the collars of the ladies that they looked like dolies. I did
not care for the flower that was on Cate Blanchetts head when Raleigh
entered the court. The fabrics were OK, but I think they needed more
ornimation--jewels, pearls, etc-- espically if it was a court gown. I mean
when Elizabeth was on the throne later in life her dresses became more
eloborate. The white gown she wore after the destruction of the Armada
wasn't bad close to what might have been worn. There was also the mention of
zipper tabs being able to be seen on a few pieces, but I had a hard time
spotting them. If they're there someone might be able to spot them when the
DVD comes out and you watch it on your computer to get a really close look.
