Such uncommon and special clothes are called fancy dress costumes. Note that the "fancy dress" part of that phrase is British/Canadian -- in the U.S. you would just say, for instance, "What kind of costume are you wearing for Halloween? Last year, lots of kids wore Spiderman costumes."
In the U.S., a "fancy dress" is a dress that a woman would wear to
