The new social media trend uses artificial intelligence to transform current photos into images that simulate how each person would look in the 1980s. The fun has been spreading mainly on Instagram, where users alter their photos to look like people taken directly from photographs of the era.
The 1980s are marked by voluminous hair, shoulder pads, jeans, bold colors and a lot of exaggeration in the look. The trend allows users to see what they would look like with this characteristic style of the era.
The fun has already been adopted by several Brazilian celebrities, including Sabrina Sato, Virginia Fonseca, Claudia Ohana and Fernanda Paes Leme. In addition, Patrícia Poeta, Graciele Lacerda, Tatá Werneck and Rodrigo Fagundes have also shared AI-produced versions showing what they would look like in the decade.
