A clean evening look
Try “cream jacket, dark open-collar shirt, understated silver chain, relaxed smile.” It gives the model a simple clothing palette and a clear expression without asking for a complicated transformation.
For a darker look, use a charcoal jacket and a warm amber background. Avoid brand names, celebrity references and text on clothing; visual descriptions are more directly useful.
Change the energy of the entrance
A calm version can ask for slow, confident gestures and a brief glance toward the camera. A livelier version can ask for a brighter smile, gentle shoulder movement and an enthusiastic background crowd.
Do not combine calm and energetic directions in the same sentence. Keep the central motion plausible and leave room for the reference’s natural pacing. Review the final hands and cup movement.
Design for the frame
For vertical 9:16, keep the main visual idea close to the face and upper body: a jacket, a necklace or a small expression change. A widescreen frame can show more of the room and surrounding crowd.
Use 10 seconds to test an outfit or one gesture. Use 15 seconds when you want a longer entrance or more of the room. Change one setting between attempts so you can tell what improved the result.
