Create an ultra-photorealistic high-fashion editorial portrait titled “Golden Serpent Goddess.”

## Format and image quality
Create a vertical 9:16, full-body luxury couture editorial portrait in UHD 18K visual quality. Use photorealistic fashion photography, HDR, crisp focus, realistic skin texture, detailed velvet fibers, intricate gold jewelry, and natural anatomical proportions. Use an iPhone 17 Pro Max Ultra aesthetic with an 85mm-equivalent portrait lens and f/1.8 aperture.

## Subject and identity
Use the uploaded portrait of the young adult woman as the primary facial identity reference: ${reference-portrait}. Preserve her recognizable facial structure, eye shape and color, nose, lips, skin tone, natural facial proportions, and distinctive features. Maintain realistic skin with visible pores, subtle imperfections, and lifelike texture.

She stands upright in a confident, commanding runway pose, facing directly toward the camera. Her eyes gaze straight into the lens with a fierce, intimidating expression.

## Hairstyle, makeup, and accessories
- Hair: Long, straight, silky dark brown-black hair with a clean center part, falling smoothly over both shoulders and down her back. Show realistic, glossy, naturally defined individual strands.
- Makeup: Fierce high-fashion smoky eyes, deep charcoal-black eyeshadow blended outward, sharp eyeliner, defined lashes, sculpted cheekbones, softly contoured skin, and muted nude-rose lips.
- Accessories: Ornate gold drop earrings with intricate detailing.

## Gown: exact fabric, cut, and structure
The woman wears a luxurious pure ivory-white velvet evening gown with a strapless sweetheart neckline, structured corset bodice, tightly fitted waist, sculpted hips, and floor-length mermaid silhouette.

- Fabric: Rich, dense white velvet with a short, soft pile. Show subtle directional shading, realistic velvet nap, and a refined, soft sheen. It must look like genuine velvet, not satin, silk, latex, or plastic.
- Bodice: The white velvet corset fits closely around the torso, with elegant curved seams and a sculpted silhouette.
- Skirt: The fitted velvet skirt follows the body's natural contours from the waist to the thighs before extending into a long, narrow floor-length hem.
- Color: Keep the gown consistently ivory white, with natural grayish shadows created by the velvet texture and lighting.

## Gold serpent ornament: exact position
Mount a large, elaborate, three-dimensional golden serpent ornament diagonally across the woman's right shoulder (the left side of the image) and the upper front of her gown.

- Snake head: Position it near the woman's upper chest, just above the sweetheart neckline, angled slightly downward and inward toward the center of her chest.
- Snake neck and body: The thick, sculptural body begins at the right shoulder and curves diagonally across the upper chest toward the center of the bodice.
- Coiled section: Several elegant, overlapping curves rest across the shoulder and upper bust, creating a dramatic sculptural arrangement without obscuring the entire neckline.
- Tail: Extend it outward from the shoulder toward the left side of the image, curving upward slightly before tapering into a pointed tip.
- Material: Use antique polished gold, richly embellished with tiny gold scales, textured engravings, and small crystal accents. The ornament must look like real luxury jewelry sculpture, with dimensional depth and realistic metallic reflections.
- Attachment: Integrate it securely into the gown's shoulder and bodice structure so that it appears wearable and physically supported, not floating.

Keep the serpent a single, continuous, anatomically coherent snake ornament. Do not turn it into a scorpion, dragon, multiple snakes, or a flat printed design.

## White velvet drape: exact position and flow
Attach a separate, exceptionally long panel of matching ivory-white velvet to the outer end of the golden serpent ornament on the woman's right shoulder, on the left side of the image.

- Attachment point: The drape begins immediately beneath the serpent's outward-extending tail, near the woman's right shoulder.
- Upper section: The fabric hangs vertically from the attachment point, forming a long, narrow curtain that descends close to the floor along the woman's right side.
- Lower section: Before reaching the floor, the fabric curves inward toward the woman's legs, creating a deep, graceful U-shaped fold.
- Central sweep: The lowest portion pools on the floor in front of and slightly to the left of the woman's feet, forming layered, cascading velvet folds.
- Relationship to the gown: Keep the drape separate from the fitted skirt. It must not cover the central front of the bodice, wrap around the woman's torso, or become an oversized cape.
- Fabric behavior: Use heavy, luxurious velvet with realistic weight, deep folds, soft pile, and natural shadows. The drape should flow continuously from its shoulder attachment to the floor without floating, breaking, or appearing transparent.

The white drape must contrast beautifully with the gold serpent while matching the gown's ivory-white velvet material.

## Footwear
Use metallic champagne-gold strappy high-heeled sandals with thin ankle straps and delicate toe straps. Advance one foot slightly so the sandals and toes remain naturally visible beneath the gown's hem.

## Pose and body position
Use a full-body, front-facing editorial pose. The woman's shoulders are squared, back straight, and chin slightly lowered for an intense, authoritative gaze. Both arms rest naturally along the sides of her hips, with relaxed hands and elegant fingers. Her feet are positioned close together, with one leg subtly advanced.

Keep the gown's silhouette, serpent ornament, and long drape fully visible within the vertical frame.

## Background and composition
Set the portrait in a minimalist luxury studio with a warm taupe-gray textured plaster wall and a pale beige stone platform beneath the woman's feet. Keep the background completely free of lettering, logos, typography, watermarks, and decorative text.

Position the woman slightly right of center, leaving sufficient negative space around the long velvet drape on the left. Show a distinct, realistic shadow of her silhouette on the wall behind her.

## Lighting and camera
Use bright, frontal, even flash-style illumination with controlled directional shadows. Maintain high clarity across the face, velvet gown, gold serpent, and flowing drape. Balance highlights and shadows to reveal the velvet's texture without washing out the white fabric or overexposing the gold ornament.

Use sharp focus on the eyes, realistic skin pores, detailed hair strands, crisp embroidery and scales, natural skin tones, and professional luxury fashion campaign quality.

## Negative prompt
No text, no letters, no logos, no watermark, no scorpion, no dragon, no extra snakes, no duplicated serpent, no floating ornament, no detached fabric, no black gown, no satin gown, no silk gown, no plastic-looking velvet, no transparent fabric, no incorrect snake placement, no short drape, no cape covering the bodice, no distorted hands, no extra fingers, no malformed anatomy, no altered facial identity, no excessive beauty filters, no artificial skin smoothing, no cartoon, no illustration, no CGI appearance, no blur, no haze, no cropped feet, and no cropped fabric train.

## Final visual priority
Clearly emphasize three elements: the ivory-white velvet gown, the sculptural gold serpent positioned diagonally across the woman's right shoulder and upper chest, and the long white velvet drape hanging from the serpent's tail down to the floor on the left side of the image. Maintain a fierce expression, straight silky hair, dramatic smoky eye makeup, and a clean, text-free studio background.
