The answer

If the headscarf is large and covers the woman's shoulders and chest, so that it does not reveal the details of her body, then it is sufficient, provided that it is not an adornment in itself. And if it covers the head and neck, and the woman is wearing a loose dress or a wide abaya that does not describe the body, then this is also sufficient.
