"Cinematic street-style portrait of a young woman(match face) walking down a sunlit urban sidewalk, wearing round wire-rim glasses, a pastel pink, blue, and cream vertical-striped oversized button-up shirt worn open over a ribbed pink cami tank top, high-waisted cream wide-leg trousers, a delicate gold pendant necklace, and a gold wristwatch. She carries a small cream quilted leather shoulder bag with gold hardware and holds an iced coffee in a clear plastic cup with a straw. Soft golden-hour sunlight, warm bokeh background of a flower shop with pink blossoms, tree-lined street, blurred storefronts. Editorial fashion photography style, shallow depth of field, warm pastel color grading, natural candid pose, hair softly tousled by breeze, shot on 85mm lens, soft diffused lighting --ar 9:16" Prompt 2: "Use the uploaded reference image as the only identity source. Preserve the exact facial features, face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, eye shape, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, body proportions, and realistic skin texture with zero identity drift. Maintain authentic pores, natural facial symmetry, and true-to-life lighting response. Create an ultra-realistic indoor fashion portrait that exactly recreates the composition, pose, framing, camera angle, outfit, accessories, lighting, and background shown in the reference image. The woman stands indoors facing the camera with a gentle, relaxed smile and a slight head tilt. Her right hand softly holds a section of her long wavy dark brown hair near her shoulder, while her left arm rests naturally by her side. She is wearing delicate pearl drop earrings, a fine pendant necklace, a gold wristwatch, and carrying a structured ivory shoulder bag with a gold chain strap and gold circular clasp hanging from her right shoulder. She wears an elegant ivory off-shoulder mini dress featuring sheer puff sleeves, a ruched sweetheart neckline with a soft bow at the center of the bust, a semi-sheer mesh waist panel, a fitted waist, and a layered ruffled chiffon mini skirt with a side-tie detail exactly matching the reference. The setting is a refined neutral-toned interior with warm beige walls. On the left is a small cream-colored side table holding a clear glass vase filled with white roses and delicate greenery, along with a decorative box. On the right is a white doorway with soft architectural molding. The background is clean, elegant, softly blurred, and uncluttered. Lighting is soft natural daylight entering from the front-left, producing smooth skin tones, gentle shadows, realistic fabric translucency, subtle depth of field, premium lifestyle fashion editorial quality, highly detailed chiffon textures, realistic hair strands, DSLR quality, HDR, photorealistic, masterpiece, 8K Ultra HD, vertical 9:16ar composition."
