Crossed-Arms Vintage Noir Portrait

Create a striking black-and-white studio portrait of a woman with an intense, piercing gaze. She stands or sits with arms crossed over her chest, shoulders squared, head slightly tilted, conveying confidence and defiance. Use dramatic chiaroscuro lighting (Rembrandt-style) to carve the cheekbones and jawline, with deep shadows and bright highlights. The background should be textured but unobtrusive, emphasizing the subject. Dress in vintage fashion: a tailored blazer or an elegant blouse with classic lines, and style the hair in a 1940s-1960s look (victory rolls or soft waves). Add timeless makeup that reads bold in grayscale, with crisp eyes and a strong lip silhouette. Apply film grain, a subtle vignette, and a shallow depth of field to evoke a classic noir-era photograph. The overall mood is timeless, powerful, and intensely cinematic, capturing a moment of unwavering stare, as if captured for a retro magazine cover.
