Yes, you can load the appearance. First switch to "Edit Mode", then click somewehere on the person. You should see some menu like that for the body part you just selected:
Click on "Select Root" at the very top to open the persons "Root Control" menu and click the Tab that says "Appearance Presets" on the lower left.
It looks like this:
There you can load and save the look/appearance.
I don't know what you downloaded. Maybe it is already an appearance, then just load it on the person which you want to look like that by clicking on "Select Existing" and navigating to the downloaded appearance. But maybe it is part of a scene, then load the scene, go to the persons appearance tab and save those persons...
