4 HBO Max Shows That Will Transform Your Fashion Mood Board

This Fashion Month, let your favorite HBO Max characters inspire your next look with PLDT Home Fiber Unli All 1499, complete with an HBO Max Standard subscription

What if your next great outfit idea came from your TV screen?

Fashion and entertainment have always borrowed from each other. Costume designers look to real streets, subcultures, designers, and changing trends to create wardrobes that feel authentic to a character. Then viewers take those looks right back into everyday life, turning fictional wardrobes into real world style references.

From the polished glamour of Sex and the City to the prep school cool of Gossip Girl, television has repeatedly shaped the way audiences think about fashion. Patricia Field helped make Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe a cultural phenomenon, while costume designer Eric Daman gave Gossip Girl its unmistakable Manhattan aesthetic.

Today, personal style is less about following one universal trend and more about building a look that feels distinctly yours. For Gen Z and millennials, streaming has become an endless source of outfit inspiration. The characters we watch can become virtual style boards, giving us ideas for everything from workwear and outerwear to accessories and everyday basics.

And with PLDT Home’s new Fiber Unli All Plan 1499, getting your entertainment fix is easier. The plan combines fast and reliable fiber internet with an HBO Max Standard subscription, plus Cignal TV channels, 9GB of Smart mobile data, and unlimited landline calls.

This Fashion Month, take a cue from these HBO Max characters and bring a little screen style into your own closet.

Channel Your Inner Boss With Andrea Manuel From Call My Manager

Power dressing does not always have to mean a stiff corporate suit.

In the HBO Original Philippine series Call My Manager, Judy Ann Santos plays talent manager Andrea Manuel, one of the key figures navigating the hectic world of the fictional Shine Artist Management agency.

Adapted from the French series Dix pour cent, the Philippine adaptation also stars Edu Manzano and RK Bagatsing, with Erik Matti at the helm. While the characters spend much of their time managing demanding artists and unexpected workplace drama, their wardrobes bring a polished sense of authority to the chaos.

Andrea’s signature style centers on tailored power suits in sophisticated shades of gray, black, and navy. Her structured silhouettes communicate confidence without looking overly complicated.

Meanwhile, the talent managers played by Manzano and Bagatsing lean toward more relaxed tailoring, proving that looking like the person in charge does not always require a traditional suit.

Style takeaway: Start with one well-fitted blazer or tailored jacket, then build around neutral colors. Keep the silhouette clean and let the tailoring do the talking.

New episodes of Call My Manager arrive weekly on HBO Max every Thursday.

Give Your Everyday Look a Punk Edge Like Kara Zor El

Superhero fashion does not stop when the cape comes off.

As Kara Zor-El, played by Milly Alcock, Supergirl brings a rebellious edge to everyday dressing. Away from her iconic superhero uniform, Kara’s wardrobe combines rugged outerwear, casual denim, statement footwear, and unmistakable punk influences.

One of her standout combinations includes a tan-brown hooded trench coat, jeans, Miu Miu boots, and a Blondie T-shirt. The result feels deliberately effortless: slightly worn-in, slightly rebellious, but still carefully styled.

It is the kind of outfit that looks as though Kara simply threw it on and walked out the door, without needing to document the process in a GRWM video.

Costume designers Anna B. Sheppard and Michael Mooney created a wardrobe that connected strongly with younger audiences. The tan trench coat, in particular, gained attention from online shoppers following the film's release.

Style takeaway: Pair one rugged statement piece with familiar basics. A trench coat, vintage-inspired graphic tee, straight-leg jeans, and boots can instantly give an everyday outfit more personality.

Supergirl is now streaming on HBO Max.

Bring Michael Jackson’s Retro Style Into 2026

Few musicians have had as recognizable a fashion identity as Michael Jackson.

Antoine Fuqua’s 2026 biopic Michael, starring Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, revisits the different chapters of the singer’s life through music, performance, and fashion.

Costume designer Marci Rodgers traces Jackson’s style evolution from his colorful Jackson 5 years through the distinctive looks of his solo career.

For anyone looking to add a retro touch to a modern wardrobe, the film offers plenty of inspiration. The 1980s looks are particularly memorable, including the red leather jacket associated with Thriller, the sparkling jacket and signature glove from the “Billie Jean” performance at Motown 25, the belts and buckles of the Bad era, and the white suit and hat from Smooth Criminal.

Rather than copying an entire look, take individual elements and make them your own.

Style takeaway: Try one statement piece at a time. A bold leather jacket, metallic detail, structured blazer, fedora-inspired hat, or statement belt can add a retro influence without making your outfit feel like a costume.

Michael premieres on HBO Max on September 25.

Master Understated Mob Style With MobLand Season 2

Some of the most memorable fashion statements are the ones that barely announce themselves.

MobLand, starring Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and Tom Hardy, brings a contemporary take to mob-inspired dressing. The characters may operate in a world of high stakes and serious business, but their wardrobes communicate status through refined details rather than obvious displays of wealth.

For the men, Anglo-Italian tailoring, Ralph Lauren pieces, Salomon footwear, and Barbour-inspired silhouettes create a polished yet practical look. The result is expensive-looking without being excessively flashy.

Helen Mirren’s character Maeve Harrigan takes a different approach, with an almost entirely black wardrobe that gives her character a striking visual identity. Completing the looks are sophisticated Swiss watches and understated accessories.

Style takeaway: Invest in fit, texture, and subtle details. A well-cut jacket, quality-looking shoes, a classic watch, and a restrained color palette can make even a simple outfit feel elevated.

MobLand Season 2 premieres on HBO Max on September 19.

Turn Your Streaming Queue Into Your Style Board

From Andrea Manuel’s tailored power dressing to Kara Zor-El’s punk-inspired wardrobe, Michael Jackson’s legendary retro looks, and the understated sophistication of MobLand, HBO Max offers plenty of fashion inspiration beyond the storyline.

The best part? You do not have to recreate an entire character’s wardrobe. Pick the details that speak to your personal style, mix them with what you already own, and make the look your own.

Stream Call My Manager, Supergirl, Michael, and MobLand Season 2 on HBO Max with PLDT Home Fiber Unli All Plan 1499.

With unlimited fiber internet, an HBO Max Standard subscription, Cignal TV channels, 9GB of Smart mobile data, and unlimited landline calls, the plan brings entertainment and connectivity together for the whole home.
