The English translation is given as ‘Remember to admire her new dress’. Can chwalić/pochwalić also mean ‘to admire’? Thanks

No, not really. “(Po)chwalić” always means “to praise”, in other words, to voice your admiration for something.

If you’re just admiring something and not expressing it aloud, “podziwiać” would be the right verb.
