Fashion has changed significantly over the years, with new trends emerging alongside technological developments. Yet people’s fascination with the past remains strong. A new AI-generated photo trend is now allowing social media users to revisit the style and atmosphere of the 1980s.
Featuring big hairstyles, colourful outfits and the feel of vintage cameras, the trend transforms contemporary photos into retro portraits. Several Bangladeshi entertainment stars have also joined the trend, sharing their AI-generated looks with fans.
Actress Purnima was among the first to participate. Sharing her photo on Facebook, she simply captioned it, “New trend.”
Actor Apurba appeared seated on a motorcycle in a classic 1980s-inspired outfit, complete with dark sunglasses. His caption read, “What it meant to be an actor in the 1980s.”
Actress Bhabna also shared a retro version of herself, writing, “Me in the 1980s—in a vintage mood, wrapped in timeless charm.”
Actor Tousif Mahbub posted a photo that evoked the atmosphere of an afternoon in the decade, captioning it, “From some afternoon in the 1980s.”
