Create a realistic photo of a smiling 26-year-old woman in a 9:16 vertical format, using the provided reference photo as image 1. Preserve her hairstyle and appearance exactly; do not change either. Do not show the phone.

Create a first-person selfie with a vintage aesthetic and a subtle retro feel. Use a low-angle selfie perspective and a close-up portrait composition focused on her face, neck, and décolletage. She sits on a 50 cm-high dark brown round pouf with her legs crossed. Her left hand rests on her leg and has white nail polish; her right hand is positioned below as she takes the selfie. She tilts her head slightly and looks directly into the camera from above with a relaxed, subtly sultry expression.

Use natural old-money-style makeup: light eyeshadow, voluminous lashes, a defined eyelid crease, a soft blush, full lips with a slight gloss and overlining, and wide, dark eyebrows.

She wears a crisp white shirt, a black tailored vest, burgundy wide-leg palazzo trousers that conceal nearly all of her shoes except the toes, black pointed-toe shoes, a black belt, and an Apple Watch on her right wrist. Add cufflinks on the shirt cuffs and a gold chain necklace.

Set the scene in a restrained, minimalist room with plain gray walls. Place a full-length mirror in one corner and a tall bird-of-paradise plant with large leaves reaching the ceiling on the other side. Include subtle ceiling lighting. The mood should feel relaxed and glamorous, with a mirror-selfie aesthetic reminiscent of Instagram and Pinterest and a touch of retro style.

Make the result look like a glossy-magazine photograph taken with a smartphone’s front-facing camera. Use soft, warm indoor lighting with gentle shadows that define the cheekbones and facial contours. Use slight film grain, soft focus, muted colors, and the natural feel of a candid moment. Render skin, fabric, and props in high detail with photorealistic quality, and give the image the soft sharpness associated with an iPhone 17 Pro Max.
