le look glamour gothique (ou gothique glamour)

Explanation:
... ou le look "dandys gothiques" (mais ça a moins le côté sexy, donc ça convient peut-être moins)

... il est possible que le "vamped-up" soit un jeu de mot et que cela fasse référence aux vampires. Mais comme ce n'est qu'une des options de déguisement possible, il faut peut-être s'en tenir à une expression plus générale.
