She is also wearing black heeled boots and a white headscarf. Her hair is pulled back. Large decorative white earrings are visible. The background is a solid white. The lighting is bright and even, typical of studio photography. The woman is standing and slightly angled toward the camera, holding the skirt of her dress open to display the tiger print.
