Got up and went to an event (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
turned out
This clue is a double definition.
'got up' is the first definition.
(both can mean dressed in a particular way)
'went to an event' is the second definition.
(as in guests turning out at an event)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for turned out that I've seen before include "Dismissed" , "made to leave" , "Become" , "expelled" , "emptied" .)
