The old-fashioned habit was a bit of cosplay on her part, I think. She and the other nuns at EWTN started wearing those ridiculous costumes after the 1993 World Youth Day. Mother Angelica apparently got totally discombobulated about a female actor portraying Christ in an Easter Passion play, and the result was that everyone had to go back to a dress code from the 1800s.
