Admins, if I picked the wrong area, please feel free to move this to the correct one.
I had started this when the Rogue One trailer premiered, and have gotten more since both the EW photo shoot and SWCE3 where the costume was on display, as well as Ben Mendelsohn wearing it in the Rogue One panel. I figure putting it on hear starts the process of anyone who saw something different.
For reference photos, until my photog guy comes back with better, I am going on the following album for closeups, as she did an excellent job:
