There’s also the commandments to believing wives of unbelievers to be silent and lead by example. 1 Peter 3:1–6

Paul wanted women to be silent in church. The people he was writing to came from a community where women gossiped during services and disrupted the message.

I am going to amend my last statement, the text you cited (1 Peter 3:1-6) was regarding women who adorned themselves like Jezebel. They were cautioned to not bring attention to themselves as Greek women did, by excessive makeup and extravagant clothing but were to dress humbly.
