Possibly bearded lady's outfit for audition? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hirsute

'possibly bearded' is the definition.
(hirsute means very hairy)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for hirsute that I've seen before include "Bearded" , "covered in hairs" , "Unshaven" , "Furry" , "Hairy and shaggy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
