Her clothing is strength and beauty, and she faces the last day happily.

She wears clothes that last a long time and are beautiful, and she is happy knowing that she will be respected until she dies (Metzudas David). She chooses these clothes, rather than ones that cost much more. On a deeper level, the words “strength and beauty” are speaking about her good deeds. While clothes wear out, good deeds last forever. Since she always does her work and Mitzvos happily, Hashem will give her health and strength to continue in this way, all her life (Me’am Lo’ez).

She has complete faith that everything Hashem does is for our good. Therefore, she is not worried about dying (Ralbag).
