Cosplay artist Miss Sinister recently created a female costume version of the Star Wars Sith character for the DragonCon event. The costume is incredibly detailed and shows an androgynous spin on a popular male sci-fi character.
In the Star Wars saga, the Siths are known as being the main villains to the noble fighting Jedis. The Siths are often dark lords that are attempting to take over governmental power and are often played by men. Miss Sinster's cosplay cleverly challenges this casting with a feminine costume interpretation that shares many recognizable elements of the Dark Lord's costume with androgynous touches. Miss Sinister sports the same evil white eyes, red lightsaber and black costume with added cut outs and sultry dark makeup.
