It probably means that she has lost contact with reality. If this Howard Hughes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia does not help, come back with a more specific question, ideally giving more context.

Well, I should have said that what bothering me is the construction has gone a bit beign used here.
First of all may we say that she has gone = she become?

Yes, gone = has become (ex. This milk's gone sour). But "she has gone" is idiomatic.

ex. "he's gone mental"; saying "he has become mental" sounds strange because became is formal

You can say "she has become like Howard Hughes", but it's formal. "She's gone a bit Howard Hughes" is colloquial and also kind of funny.
