Well, it is certainly warming up on the Dark Side if these images are anything to judge by.

To be honest, a [sexy Darth Vader](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx) is not a hard look to pull off, so I am surprised there are not more of these out there. Slip into [black latex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection), pop on a mask and off you go. Masks have the bonus of letting you [skip time on make up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-cosmetics-x-wednesday) too.

I could write more, but let’s be honest with each other, you’re going to skip straight to the gallery anyway. And what a gallery, far, far away.
