Using ${reference-image}, depict the same woman without changing her appearance. Create a realistic nighttime photo as if taken with an iPhone 16 Pro and flash. Frame an extremely close portrait. She holds a white cake, with only its upper part visible. Decorate the cake with ruffles and thin black bows; its center is completely covered in silver glitter and sparkles, with one silver candle. The woman blows on the glitter, sending it flying throughout the entire frame—top, bottom, sides, and center. Include many glitter particles in different sizes, shimmering everywhere. The woman should be only partially visible behind them.

Behind her, show the back of an ivory velvet chair or sofa with a glossy cream-colored, curved wooden top. She wears a beautiful, low metallic crown set with white diamonds. Her shoulders are bare with no straps; her clothing is hidden behind the cake.

The setting is a dark room with a dimly discernible cream-colored interior. Her hair is down in Hollywood waves, falling over her back, with a center part and thin metallic diamond hair clips at the sides. Her makeup is flawless: long, spiky lashes, sharp black winged eyeliner, glossy nude lips, and highlighter on her cheekbones. Include a number on the exposed areas of her body. Her eyes are closed.

Keep the glitter in the main focus and the woman slightly out of focus with gentle bokeh. The image should feel spontaneous and look like a realistic iPhone photo. Vertical 9:16 composition.
