My favorite example is Rose Byrn's for Get Him to the Greek. In addition to awesome comedic timing, I love the suggestion of the character. We get "hot mess" immediately with nothing more than a few strands out of place and a subtle smudge of eyeliner. She's not "dressed up" for the role, she's hinting at it.
However, this isn't to say that dressing up, when done well, can't be a successful tactic. Check out Jason Momoa's Game of Thrones Audition for stellar use of costuming elements in an audition.
WARNING NSFW!!!! (cursing, etc.)
