She's wearing a dress for a special occasion, likely her royal coronation (just like all the Mane girls have worn dresses at formal shindigs). Then, she'll take it off and go back to reading her books in the Ponyville library and have fun with her friends. Cadence didn't spend all day everyday in the castle before she got married and she doesn't seem to spend all her time being regal and proper all the time now!
Twilight's studying of friendship won't be over yet. Not by a long shot, I wager. This is just recognition of her achievements so far, but there's always more for her to learn before Celestia dies/steps down and she might have to potentially serve as monarch.
Whether she has wings or not she's still gonna be Twilight and she'll probably end up flying about as often as Fluttershy!
(I love all the Royal lore so I was super pumped to hear alicorn Twilight is canon. She works hard, she deserves it!)
