Here is a coronation portrait by Sully from 1838.

A Google image search using "Queen Victoria + coronation" yields a few pics, but most are not this large so therefore lack detail. There's a nice one in full regalia with her hair worn more in the style that Beatrice wore in the movie scene, but I haven't found a large version of it, and also a sketch of Queen Victoria dancing with Albert and wearing a dress that appears to me to be very similar to the one Beatrice was wearing. I will leave it to those with the benefit of broadband to do closer comparisons.
Here's another big one from about the same time. Rather pretty, too.
