New Year fashion portraits are trending hard on Instagram right now—especially the ones with “2026” balloon backdrops, glitter makeup, and luxury studio lighting.
They look like a Vogue-style holiday shoot, but you can create the same Viral AI Image for free using Google Gemini.
The best part? You can keep the same face from your reference photo and generate a vertical 9:16 (Instagram Reel size) image in seconds.
The Viral Prompt (Copy-Paste in Google Gemini)
Use the uploaded reference photo as the face identity. Keep the face EXACTLY the same (do not change facial features, skin tone, eye color, or proportions). Create an ultra-realistic, high-fashion New Year editorial portrait of a young woman in a festive studio setup.
Framing & Camera: full-body portrait, medium distance shot, subject centered, fashion photography composition, sharp focus on face and outfit, subtle depth of field with creamy bokeh lights in the background. Vertical 9:16 aspect ratio (Instagram Reel size). Ultra-detailed, 8K, realistic textures, crisp clarity.
Model look: young woman with delicate glowing skin, natural pores and realistic skin texture. Elegant makeup with silver glitter around the eyes, softly blended shimmer, glossy sparkling lips. Expression: confident, joyful, classy, slightly glamorous. Hair styled neatly and красиво (clean and polished), suitable for a holiday fashion shoot.
Outfit: shimmering silver sequin dress that reflects both warm and cool studio light, flattering silhouette, premium fabric sparkle. Accessories: large crystal chandelier earrings (rich, ornate, high-luxury).
Background & props: a festive New Year backdrop filled with decorations. Behind her, silver metallic number balloons that clearly read “2026”. Around them: golden star-shaped balloons, warm fairy lights creating bokeh glow, elegant garlands. Silver and gold confetti falling in the air and scattered on the floor, creating a magical celebration vibe.
Lighting: bright professional studio lighting with balanced highlights on the face and dress, controlled reflections on sequins, premium glow, soft shadows, sparkling light flares around the scene. Cinematic lighting, fashion editorial finish, Vogue-style color grading.
Quality & rules: hyper-realistic, no cartoon look, no blur on subject, no distorted hands, no extra people, no watermark, no random text (ONLY the balloon numbers “2026” should be visible).
Pose Variant 1 (Elegant Power Stance)
Same prompt as before, ONLY change the pose to: the woman stands in a confident power stance with weight on one hip, one leg slightly forward. Her right hand rests on her waist, and her left hand lightly touches the side of her dress near the thigh. Chin slightly raised, eyes looking directly at the camera.
Pose Variant 2 (Soft Glam Walk Pose)
Same prompt as before, ONLY change the pose to: the woman is captured mid-step as if walking slowly toward the camera. One foot forward, dress flowing naturally. One hand gently holds a small section of the dress fabric near the knee, the other arm relaxed by her side. Head slightly turned toward camera with a subtle classy smile.
How to Customize This Prompt
You can change small details without breaking the “viral” look. Just replace the words inside brackets:
- Change the year: “2026” → “[YEAR]” (example: 2025, 2027)
- Change dress tone: silver → “[DRESS_COLOR]” (example: champagne, rose gold)
- Change balloon vibe: gold stars → “[BALLOON_STYLE]” (example: hearts, snowflakes)
- Change makeup intensity: silver glitter → “[GLITTER_LEVEL]” (soft / medium / bold)
Important: If you want the same face, always keep the line:
“Use the uploaded reference photo as the face identity. Keep the face EXACTLY the same…”
