Fashion inspiration is no longer found only on runways and street style. Increasingly, it is also coming from the characters audiences follow on screen.
This Fashion Month, four HBO Max shows offer plenty of wardrobe cues—from polished power dressing and punk-inspired layers to retro icons and modern mob chic.
Power dressing with ‘Call My Manager’
Judy Ann Santos’ Andrea Manuel brings boss energy to the screen with tailored suits in gray, black and navy. The HBO Original Philippine series puts a polished spin on the power suit, while its male talent managers show how relaxed tailoring can still look commanding.
Punk attitude with ‘Supergirl
Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor-El trades the superhero suit for a rugged, rebellious civilian wardrobe. A tan-brown hooded trench coat, jeans, Miu Miu boots and a Blondie T-shirt create an effortless punk-inspired look that has already caught Gen Z’s attention.
Retro reinvention in ‘Michael’
The 2026 Michael Jackson biopic revisits some of the singer’s most recognizable fashion eras. From the red Thriller jacket and sparkling ‘Billie Jean’ performance look to the ‘Bad’ jacket and ‘Smooth Criminal’ suit, the film offers a masterclass in translating iconic ’80s style for a new generation.
Modern mob chic in ‘MobLand Season 2’
The wardrobes of ‘MobLand’ prove that understated can still be luxurious. Anglo-Italian tailoring, Ralph Lauren pieces, Salomon footwear and Barbour silhouettes shape the men’s style, while Helen Mirren’s Maeve Harrigan makes an all-black wardrobe her signature.
The four titles show how streaming can become a virtual mood board, inspiring viewers to bring screen style into everyday dressing.
‘Call My Manager’, ‘Supergirl’, ‘Michael’, and ‘MobLand Season 2’ are available or premiering on HBO Max, bundled with PLDT Home Fiber Unli All Plan 1499, which includes unlimited fiber internet, an HBO Max Standard subscription, Cignal TV channels, 9GB Smart mobile data and unlimited landline calls.
