Noctum's pretty close. It originates from Japan, but is an entire fashion rather than a dress style, and no kimono things. Usually. Ruby's outfit probably draws some inspiration from it (or is just coincidentally similar), so it's something like that. Gothic lolita's a sub-style of lolita, and there's also punk, classic, hime, and a few other sub-styles of lolita that aren't the topic of conversation right now. The whole lolita thing is based on Victorian-era clothing.

Gothic lolita in particular does have dark colors (but so does punk and occasionally classic) and is characterized by gothic motifs. Ruby originally had the cross emblem, which would've emphasized the style, but even without it, it still looks gothic. The biggest difference between punk and gothic is use of things like zipper, jackets, blouses, tattered fabric, etc. for punk, and pale make-up, veils, and the like for gothic.

Not that I'd know. I just happened to read about it a few minutes ago. :P (I don't understand exactly how this would make someone appear tomboyish, though.)
