Thus is an example of an unusual use if "becomes." I can also say that your new dress becomes you. Or: That dress is becoming.

I would think 'fits'

I'd say 'becomes'. Here 'becomes' means 'suits/is appropriate/flatters'. This is British English. Another example: "Wearing such a sexy Dress does not become someone of her age" "Please behave better in future. Getting drunk hardly becomes someone of your social and politics status"

becomes is correct. Although 'befits' would also work here (note, 'befits', not just 'fits'.

I'd say - fits
