ultra-realistic cinematic portrait of young south asian woman in teal lehenga

Create an ultra-realistic, premium cinematic portrait of a beautiful young South Asian woman sitting gracefully and facing the camera.

SUBJECT & POSE:
A young Indian woman with warm medium-fair skin tone, delicate oval face, naturally defined facial features, expressive dark brown eyes, thick well-shaped eyebrows, a tiny black bindi centered between the eyebrows, soft rosy cheeks, natural pink lips, and a gentle elegant smile showing slightly visible teeth.

She is seated in a graceful traditional pose with both hands softly clasped together in her lap. Her upper body is facing forward with a subtle natural head tilt. She looks directly into the camera with a warm, confident, pleasant expression.

HAIRSTYLE:
Long, thick, glossy black hair styled in an elegant loose traditional updo at the crown, with soft wispy strands framing both sides of the face. A large, thick, detailed braid falls dramatically over her right shoulder and continues down across the front of her body. Hair should have realistic individual strands, natural volume, texture, and subtle warm rim-light highlights.

OUTFIT:
She is wearing a luxurious traditional Indian lehenga outfit.

Blouse:
Rich teal-blue short-sleeved blouse with intricate antique gold embroidery, elaborate floral vine patterns, beadwork, sequins, and decorative borders. The blouse should have premium handcrafted detailing and realistic fabric texture.

Dupatta:
A soft pastel blush-pink translucent net dupatta elegantly draped across her chest and over her right shoulder. The dupatta features delicate golden embroidered borders, tiny gold embellishments, scattered sequins, and subtle decorative motifs. The fabric should appear lightweight, sheer, layered, and naturally folded.

Lehenga Skirt:
Deep royal teal-blue lehenga skirt visible across the lower frame, featuring subtle golden embroidered motifs and scattered traditional decorative patterns. Rich silk-like fabric with realistic folds and texture.

JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES:
Elegant traditional gold jewelry:
- Elaborate gold and pastel-pink statement necklace
- Matching dangling earrings
- Multiple stacked teal-blue and gold bangles on both wrists
- Delicate rings on fingers

Hands should look natural and anatomically correct, gently folded together.
