It's choreeography is distinct but if you went up to someone in a mall they probably wouldn't get what you're doing if you did a bend and hair flip. If you did the hand-gesture or even some of the Single Ladies moves (especially with 2 background dancers) it will be known.
BOMT costume is very iconic, but I can see people being confused for just being a sexy school girl, not Britney in 1999. Plus, the schoolgirl outfit is the only really iconic costume from the video. The other ones yes, if you know pop music but wearing it to a costume party will not get the same level of recognition as the Single Ladies leotard.
And yes there is a TV show called Single Ladies.

I'd also like to add that the very first scene in Single Ladies quotes "put a ring on it" line which is pretty much a nod that the show is named after the song
