She is dressed in a colorful top and green striped pants, wearing high heels with platform soles. Behind her, a mirror reflects her profile and a brick wall. To her right, a small table with white fur covering holds magazines and a plant in a black pot. There are large green plants, a full-length mirror, and a fluffy white rug on the floor.
