Nano Banana trend: The internet’s latest craze, Google Gemini AI’s image editing tool Nano Banana is going strong.
Praised for preserving facial features, pets, and even allowing users to make complex edits such as changing backgrounds, blending multiple photos, or adjusting clothing, tool is being used by social media users to craft “vintage Bollywood”-style edits of their favourite celebrities.
What started as retro sarees, vintage Bollywood, dreamy romantic vibes, and old-school cinema edits have sprung a sub-section dedicated to turning their favourite onscreen hero into a “retro diva” using the Gemini app.
From Salman Khan to Salim Kumar and Jagathy Sreekumar, fan-made edits using Nano Banana’s features are trending on Instagram.
Create a ‘retro diva’ look using Gemini’s Nana Banana using these prompts
Prompt 1: Create a 4k portrait of the subject wearing an elegant white lace saree, with long, dark, wavy hair cascading over her shoulders. The saree should be draped over one shoulder, with a matching colour sleeveless blouse underneath. There should be lilies behind her right ear, with soft front lighting on the subject. I want her face to remain unaltered. The background should be warm and soft with a retro and artistic style.
Prompt 2: Create a 4k retro, vintage-inspired image of the subject in a gold coloured Banarasi saree capturing the ’90s romance movie aesthetic. She must have dark brown, silky hair and a small yellow flower tucked visibly into her hair. She is standing against an old wooden door, with sunset “golden hour” lighting and a moody cinematic effect. Her pose should be looking away as if waiting for someone.
Prompt 3: Create a 4k retro, vintage black and white image of the subject in a white chiffon saree, giving it an 80s Bollywood movie aesthetic. She should have black hair, small diamond drop earrings, and a flower crown. The girl is standing in front of a white wall, with flowers creeping up the facade. Create a soft glow on her face and a dramatic shadow on the wall behind her. The expression on her face should be calm and features should not be changed from the image.
Prompt 4: Create a retro, vintage-inspired image — grainy yet bright of the girl in a bright blue saree with a red blouse, styled in a Pinterest-inspired aesthetic. Capture the essence of a ’90s movie baddie with dark brown hair, a windy romantic atmosphere, and dramatic contrasts. She should pose as if walking and glancing back. The background should be the stone walls of a castle.
Prompt 5: Create a retro, vintage-inspired image of the girl wearing a black cotton saree with white leaf prints and a matching blouse, styled with a white flower in her hair. Place her against a solid wall with heavy shadows and dramatic contrasts to create a mysterious, cinematic vibe.
