Union Minister Piyush Goyal also went viral by sharing an AI-generated retro photo of himself styled like a 1980s Bollywood hero. Goyal shared the portrait wearing a sharp blue suit, an open-collared shirt, and sunglasses. He captioned the post, “Vibing to the 80s trend.”
How to do the 80s ChatGPT trend?
Step 1: Choose your photo
Choose a clear, well-lit photograph of yourself. A portrait or waist-up picture usually works best.
Step 2: Upload it to ChatGPT/Gemini/Copilot/Other AI apps
Open ChatGPT, upload your photograph and copy-paste a prompt describing exactly how you want your 1980s makeover to look.
Step 3: Be specific
Instead of simply writing, “Make me look like I’m from the ’80s,” describe the hairstyle, clothes, jewellery, setting, lighting and mood you want.
Here’s a prompt you can use to create an 80s photo of yourself
“Transform this photograph into the cover of a glamorous Indian film magazine from the 1980s. Keep my face and facial features recognisable. Style me with authentic 1980s hair, makeup, fashion and jewellery. Use warm saturated colours, glossy studio lighting and subtle printed-paper texture. Leave space around the portrait for vintage magazine-style headlines and typography.”
