# Styling

> Multi-dim picker for makeup + eyewear + headwear + hair (cut + treatment) + jewelry + nails + face-paint + fabric (262 catalog options across 9 fields). Emits a styling-descriptor prompt fragment.

## Overview

The Styling parameter node composes a full styling/wardrobe descriptor — what the subject wears and how their face/hair is done. Wired to an AI image/video node's `cinematography` handle. Each sub-field is optional; empty fields are dropped silently. Useful for fashion-editorial work, character continuity, and on-brand commercial output.

## Configuration (9 sub-fields)

| **Accessories** | `jewelry`, `nails` |
