Pakistani showbiz celebrities have joined a growing social media trend that uses artificial intelligence to reimagine modern stars in the distinctive style of the 1980s.
An AI filter currently gaining popularity transforms users into retro versions of themselves, featuring the era’s signature big hairstyles, vibrant colours, bold makeup and glamorous fashion.
Pakistani celebrities have also experimented with the trend, sharing AI-generated images of themselves with their followers and giving fans a nostalgic glimpse of what they might have looked like during the iconic decade.
Among the celebrities participating in the trend are Madiha Naqvi, Qudsia Ali, Umar Alam, Annie Jafry and Mahi Baloch, along with several other Pakistani showbiz personalities.
The AI-generated photographs have attracted considerable attention on social media, with fans showing interest in seeing familiar celebrities transformed through the distinctive fashion and visual style associated with the 1980s.
The trend is another example of how AI-powered filters and image-generation tools are influencing social media culture, allowing users and celebrities to experiment with different eras, fashion styles and visual identities.
