Sauron, Smeagol, Frodo, Bilbo, and Samare the only ringbearers. All but Sauron turned invisible and they were all hobbits. Galadriel said when she had the ring, she would become a dark queen, not invisible.

Tom was completely immune to all effects of the ring and as the ring couldn't affect him, he also had no control over the ring. I think the Valar would be the same and couldn't use the ring for anything.

But has anyone ever thought why the clothing of the ringbearer also turns invisible?

It depends on their power, lesser being like men and hobbits became invisible however greater men could wield it and elves and wizards could use it to defeat other powers and set themselves up as a dark lady/Lord
