After the 3D model-making trend, Instagram users have already moved on to another viral craze — this time centred on retro sarees and old-school cinema vibes. The latest filter-style edits, powered by Gemini, are transforming regular photos into portraits that look like they belong in a classic film poster.
What Is the Vintage Saree Trend?
Instagram is filling up with dreamy edits where women appear in elegant sarees, bathed in soft lighting, and framed by romantic, retro backdrops. The style echoes the golden age of ’90s Bollywood mixed with a Pinterest-inspired aesthetic.
How Can You Try It Yourself?
If you want to join the trend, you’ll need the Gemini app. Here’s how it works:
Download the app: Get Google Gemini from the Play Store or App Store.
Sign in: Log in with your Google account.
Upload a photo: Choose the picture you want to transform.
Enter the prompt: Write your own or use one of the sample prompts below.
Generate and download: Hit send, let Gemini create the image, and then save it.
Prompt 1:
Convert the uploaded image into a stunning 4K HD portrait. The subject should have long, dark, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders. She should be wearing a translucent, elegant red saree draped over one shoulder, which reveals a fitted blouse underneath. White flowers should be tucked behind her right ear. She is looking slightly to her right, with a soft, serene expression. I want her face to remain exactly as it appears in the uploaded image without any alterations. The background should feature a plain, warm-toned wall, illuminated by a warm light source from the right, creating a distinct, soft-edged shadow of her profile and hair on the wall behind her. The overall mood should be retro and artistic.
Prompt 2:
Create a retro, vintage-inspired image—grainy yet bright—based on the uploaded picture. The girl should be draped in a perfect purple chiffon, Pinterest-style aesthetic saree. The vibe must capture the essence of a '90s movie 'baddie,' with dark brown, silky hair and a small flower tucked visibly into her hair, enhanced by a windy, romantic atmosphere. She is standing against an old wooden door, where deep shadows and dramatic contrasts add mystery and artistry to the scene, creating a moody yet enchanting cinematic effect. Her pose should suggest that she is adjusting her hair.
