Fishnets, lots of black, anything that makes you feel va-voom.

You can go all in and dress like one of the characters (that would need a Google). An easy one is a surgeons gown (usually available at Party City or Spirit Halloween) with fishnets and heels and a pearl necklace. A French maid costume also works.

Whatever you would feel best wearing, dramatic make up will really bring you into the spirit. Again, you can be literal like a character or just inspired. Frank'n'Furter had a very glossy red lip with black and grey eyeshadow for some parts and blue for others. A smokey eye, dramatic lashes, and red lip would be perfect. If you're not comfortable with eye make up then just a red lip would do because....well, that's the trademark.

A lot of people who don't dress as characters tend to come in standard goth gear. RHPS has really evolved in decades and the underlying theme is to come as you are and let your freak flag fly, so technically anything you want to wear is appropriate. We used to have people come dressed as chickens and bunnies and gorillas. We'd have kink folks. There'd be people in sweaters and jeans. And then full cosplay. It's beautiful that way.

Have fun and I hope you enjoy it!
