Bismihi Ta'ala

She must disobey her parents in this regards and follow the commandments of Allah. There is no obeying creation in aspects which disobey the creator. If she continues to obey her parents in this regards which is disobeying Allah, she will be sinful.

Alternatively, she should explain the benefits of Hijaab to her parents and ask other elders in the family to speak to the parents regarding this if beneficial.

May Allah make it easy for her.

Allah knows best.
