With Ramadan fast approaching, many people are already on the hunt for the perfect Raya outfit. Some are even willing to travel overseas just to secure the best styles before they sell out. While women's Raya fashion options are endless, Baju Melayu designs for men often stick to classic styles until now.
A TikTok user, @nabiu_rahman, recently showcased a series of striking Baju Melayu designs that have taken social media by storm. These outfits feature bold color combinations and patterns inspired by none other than Ultraman, the beloved Japanese superhero.
The designs resemble classic Ultraman characters such as Ultraman Mebius, Ultraman Tiga, and Ultraman Dyna, with colors like red, black, gray, and purple. They even include intricate details mimicking the superhero's signature suit, complete with line patterns and the iconic Ultraman chest button.
At first glance, many netizens were excited by the idea of these superhero-themed Baju Melayu, with some even expressing interest in purchasing them. However, according to a report by Kosmo, these unique designs are not real and they were created using artificial intelligence (AI).
While some fans were disappointed to learn that these outfits don't actually exist, others found humor in the situation. Social media users flooded the comments section with mixed reactions, with some joking that ancient warriors would "cry" if they saw these modern interpretations of traditional wear.
The viral designs have sparked conversations about the potential of AI in fashion and whether futuristic elements should be incorporated into traditional attire. Would you wear an Ultraman-inspired Baju Melayu if it were real? Let us know what you think!
