Google Gemini can dress you in a sharp business suit and hand back a portrait that looks like it came from a real photo studio. It is one of the most useful things you can do with Gemini, and all it takes is one good selfie and a couple of minutes. Gemini's Nano Banana image model is what makes it work, it keeps your face while it restyles the outfit, lighting, and background around you.
Below are the exact Gemini suit prompts to try, from a smart-casual blazer to a full editorial magazine cover. Copy any one, paste it into Gemini with your selfie, and change the parts in [square brackets] to pick your suit color or setting. For a plain professional headshot, use our professional LinkedIn headshot prompt.
