A new artificial intelligence trend is taking celebrities and ordinary users back to the 1980s by transforming current photos into versions inspired by that era's aesthetics. The premise is simple: send a photograph to an AI tool and choose a visual reference from the 80s. The result can change hair, makeup, clothes, lighting, and even the scenery, while keeping the person's features recognizable. The fun lies precisely in seeing yourself in a version that could have existed decades ago.
Virginia Fonseca, Sabrina Sato, Ivete Sangalo, Graciele Lacerda, and Patricia Poeta are among the famous personalities who joined the fun, which quickly gained traction on social media. The trend showcases looks with voluminous bangs, big hair, bold makeup, and a style that seems to have come straight out of an old album.
Kenneth Corrêa, a professor at FGV and specialist on the subject, is mentioned in the article as a source of analysis on this viral trend.
