Chinese wedding dressOriginally generated on Sora 2

Shared prompt

9:16 vertical, 4 seconds. A blonde, blue-eyed American model with a model figure, wearing an exquisite Chinese wedding dress (longfenggua / xiuhe style), holding a bouquet, walking through a Wangxiangu-valley-style scene: mist-shrouded cliffs, ancient plank walkways and pavilions, a xianxia fantasy atmosphere. Her expression is happy and expectant as she walks toward the wedding stage ahead. Cinematic photography style, soft warm lighting, highlighting the bride and the details of the Chinese dress, with a softly blurred background.
