Wardrobe and makeup
Eight style families for what people wear and four rungs for how finished the face is — the two dials that tell a viewer who the ad is for before a word is read.
Clothes are the fastest signal in an ad. Everyday wear says relatable, utility wear says clinician, occasion dress says launch night. Two director controls in the Scene & Style group steer that signal — press + on either under + Add Director Controls and its row opens in the controls panel: Wardrobe for what people wear and Makeup & Grooming for how finished the face is. Both are families the Creative Director dresses within, never a fixed outfit.
Eight ways to dress the person
Wardrobe is a rail of eight style families: Everyday Casual, Smart / Office, Active Wear, Occasion / Party, Resort / Swim, Editorial, Heritage and Utility. Each card carries a line on what it suits — everyday casual for UGC and lifestyle, active wear for gym and wellness, resort for sun-care and body, utility for trades and hospitality. The director picks the exact garments per concept, in colours that sit with your palette.

On statics your styles are dealt across concepts; on a film one style is held for the whole piece, so the cast never changes clothes between scenes. Leave the row empty and the director dresses people from your Brand DNA — a sportswear brand gets active wear without being asked. If your product is itself a garment, wardrobe describes what is worn around it, never a substitute for it.
Makeup follows the outfit
Makeup & Grooming is four rungs: Bare, Natural, Polished and Statement. On a male model the same rung reads as grooming. Left empty it follows the wardrobe you chose, and Clear all leaves it on Auto. The higher rungs open as you raise Boldness; a child model is always bare-skin, whatever you pick.

Where the rows appear
| Row | Offered on | Empty means |
|---|---|---|
| Wardrobe | Static creative, Product shot, UGC, Cinematic UGC, Cinematic Ad | The director dresses from your Brand DNA |
| Makeup & Grooming | Static creative, Product shot | Follows the wardrobe family |
| Neither | Infographics, Product B-Roll | There is no person to dress |
Both rows answer to the Boldness cards at the top of the step, so choose the level first and you will only pick from tiles the director may use. If a spokesmodel carries the piece, wardrobe styles them too — their identity stays fixed, their clothes follow the family you chose. Faces and postures have their own guide in Expressions and body postures.
