Between takes she moves like a professional: replenishes lipstick with quick, precise strokes, checks posture in the mirror, and nods politely while absorbing concise notes from the director. She listens—“softer gaze,” “longer pause,” “less shoulder”—then executes with surgical ease. By the end of her set she’s left a folder of looks: playful, contemplative, and catalog‑ready.
When her name is called she walks into a strip of marked floor where natural light from a skylight pools. The photographer gives three quick directions: full‑body turn, close‑up smile, and a slow, sultry look over the shoulder. Lilly starts with confidence: shoulders back, chin parallel to the floor, weight shifting subtly from one leg to the other to create clean lines. In the full‑body turn she makes the movement deliberate and fluid, pausing at the two‑thirds mark so the camera has time to capture the silhouette. For the close‑up she softens the eyes, breathes through the diaphragm, and lets the corner of her mouth lift—not a full grin but a hint of personality. The over‑the‑shoulder shot becomes a story: she glances out of the frame as if into an unseen city street, and the room leans in.
Scene A late‑spring Los Angeles morning bends light across a modest casting studio on La Brea. The room smells faintly of coffee and hairspray; a wall of full‑length mirrors catches the constant microshifts of bodies moving through the space. Lilly Jade waits near a folding chair, a slim figure in a simple white tank and high‑waist jeans, hair loose and slightly textured, makeup minimal but polished. She flips through a reference sheet stamped “LANewGirl.24.05.07” — the audition number on the top, the brand brief clipped below: youthful, carefree luxury with an edge.
