Photorealistic close-up portrait shot in ultra-high detail, sharp focus, crisp textures, studio-grade lighting with vibrant bokeh background glow, capturing a young tabby kitten wearing clown attire, its face painted with exaggerated red nose, blue streaked cheeks like theatrical tears, wide golden-yellow eyes staring directly forward with pupils dilated in shock or terror, mouth agape revealing jagged white fangs, pink tongue hanging out, whiskers splayed across snout, fur texture fine and fluffy around muzzle and ears, two colorful polka-dotted party hats perched atop head each tipped with fuzzy pompons, one yellow one topped by bright yellow pompom, other red-topped with matching red pompom, and layered ruffled collar made of translucent organza trimmed with gold embroidery edges stained faintly crimson, over striped circus costume fabric featuring bold vertical bands of royal blue, deep maroon, and metallic gold satin, set against blurred backdrop of red-and-white tent poles and circular lights casting warm ambient radiance suggesting nighttime carnival atmosphere filled with playful yet eerie grandeur evoking both whimsical joy and unsettling grotesquerie.
