Using the uploaded reference photo as the identity guide, create an ultra-realistic pop fashion editorial image. Preserve 100% the identity of the face, hair, and body composition from the reference photo (no changes to facial features, no beauty modifications, no reshaping, no altering hairline, no changing body proportions).
Scene: A studio setup with a pool filled with bright hot-pink / shock-pink plastic balls. The entire frame is a clean top-down overhead shot captured from directly above, full-body visible, centered composition. The ball pool looks dense and glossy with realistic reflections and texture.
Subject: A model lying backwards in the pink ball pool in a stylish, relaxed, playful pose. She wears a tight-fitting tube corset dress made of pink tulle (tule) with realistic fabric folds and soft transparency. She holds a pink retro landline telephone receiver to her ear with one hand. The other hand is raised, gently touching her head. Hair is long blonde hair, flowing naturally and clearly visible against the pink balls (keep hair details identical to the reference photo). Expression should feel confident, modern, and editorial.
Lighting & style: studio well-lit, soft and even lighting, minimal harsh shadows, clean highlights, high-end pop aesthetics, Barbiecore vibe, fashion magazine editorial look.
