Question

Is the turban style headgear/covering which women adorn nowadays permissible?

Answer

Women have been prohibited from imitating men. The hadeeth has cursed women that resemble men.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Is wearing a topi or turban sunnah?

“Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah states that it is Sunnah to wear a turban. However, by persisting upon a Mustahab act (such as regarding it as necessary to always wear an Amaamah), the act becomes Makrooh.”
