AI Time Machine: Piyush Goyal’s 80s look has social media talking. How can you create it using ChatGPT

| @indiablooms | Sep 10, 2026, at 12:36 am

If a time machine were ever invented, it would probably have matched perfectly with the recent AI-generated 1980s photo trend that has swept across social media platforms like a gust of wind.

The trend has caught the attention of celebrities and public figures alike, with several attempting to recreate their own 1980s-era avatars using artificial intelligence.

Indian Union Minister Piyush Goyal was among the prominent politicians to join the trend, generating an AI-recreated image of himself in an unmistakably retro 1980s avatar.

In the image, Goyal can be seen sporting a tailored suit and aviator sunglasses, complemented by a sepia tone and grainy, faded texture reminiscent of photographs from old family albums.

Adding to the retro appeal is Goyal's 1980s Bollywood-style hairstyle, which bears a striking resemblance to the looks sported by popular matinee idols of the era.

Goyal shared the image on Instagram with the caption: "Vibing to the 80s trend."

The trend has also found its way into fan-created content, with several Instagram pages reimagining popular South Indian stars, including Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Trisha Krishnan, in charming 1980s-inspired avatars.

How to create 1980s-style photos using ChatGPT

Creating a similar retro image with ChatGPT is relatively simple:

Open ChatGPT and start a new conversation.

Tap the + button to upload a clear, high-quality photo.

Describe the 1980s style you want, including the clothing, hairstyle, background, setting and lighting.

Ask ChatGPT to preserve the person's recognisable facial features and natural skin tone.

If the first result does not look right, refine the prompt and ask ChatGPT to make the necessary adjustments.
