Carolina Delgado (@carolletta) shared this Midjourney v8.2 prompt on X on October 2, 2026, captioned “1970s cuteness”. The text is a single line, “artistic portrait of a beautiful character”; the style comes from --sref 1561015568 with a high --sw 1000 and --stylize 1000, plus --raw, --chaos 20 and --weird 10 in a 9:16 frame. Change the subject words to apply the same retro style to another character.
