getup

Costume or ensemble

A getup is an outfit or costume, often one that's unusual or distinctive: What's with the getup?

She arrived in full cowgirl getup.

The word carries a hint of judgment—you wouldn't call a business suit a getup, but you might call a Halloween costume or eccentric ensemble one.

Get-up-and-go, sometimes shortened to getup, means energy or initiative.
