dark glamour

Seductive shadow appeal

Dark glamour is allure drawn from mysterious, sinister, or transgressive qualities rather than conventional beauty.

It suggests sophistication tinged with danger or the forbidden—the appeal of villains, femmes fatales, and gothic aesthetics: She cultivated a dark glamour with her black lace and knowing smile.

The phrase implies seduction through shadow rather than light.
