For a new groom who also happens to be a [Star Wars fanatic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-x-citizen-rebel-starfighter-boxed-set), there may be nothing sexier than [lingerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-lingerie-line) inspired by their favorite epic movie. The Storm Trooper garter belt, while it might elicit laughs from your wedding guests, will add some serious sizzle on your wedding night (again, let me stress that your new hubby should be a Star Wars enthusiast).

Available at [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry), the Storm Trooper garter belt is 100% handmade and features a hand-drawn and colored Storm Trooper mask, elastic wrapped in white taffeta and white lace trimming. Oh, and there’s a black Darth Vader garter too—if you’re feeling extra naughty.
