Fashion inspiration does not always come from the runway. Sometimes, the best style ideas come from the characters we watch on our favorite shows. From power suits and edgy streetwear to timeless retro looks, these HBO Max titles prove that fashion can be just as entertaining as the stories themselves.
This Fashion Month, I’m taking inspiration from four shows and characters whose wardrobes deserve a spot on our style mood boards. The best part? I can enjoy these shows with my PLDT Home Fiber Unli All Plan 1499, which comes with an HBO Max Standard subscription.

| 4 HBO Max Shows That Will Inspire Your Fashion Style |
When Fashion Meets Streaming
Have you ever watched a series and found yourself admiring what the characters are wearing? I know that fashion inspiration can come from almost anywhere, and our favorite shows are no exception.
For years, television and movies have influenced how people dress. From the iconic fashion moments in Sex and the City, thanks to costume designer Patricia Field, to the memorable wardrobes of Gossip Girl, on-screen fashion has always had a way of finding its place in real-life closets.
Today, personal style is less about following one particular trend and more about discovering an aesthetic that reflects who we are. Streaming has also become a source of inspiration, especially for Gen Z and millennials who turn their favorite characters' outfits into virtual mood boards.
With PLDT Home's Fiber Unli All Plan 1499, getting your daily dose of entertainment and fashion inspiration is easier. The plan combines fast and reliable fiber internet with an HBO Max Standard subscription, giving subscribers access to exciting shows and movies. It also comes with Cignal TV channels, 9GB of Smart mobile data, and unlimited landline calls. That's more entertainment and connectivity in one plan!
If you're looking for fresh outfit ideas this Fashion Month, here are four HBO Max titles worth adding to your watchlist.
1. Power Dress Like Andrea Manuel in Call My Manager
If there's one character who knows how to make power dressing look effortless, it's Andrea Manuel, played by Judy Ann Santos. Adapted from the French series Dix pour cent, Call My Manager follows the managers and employees of the fictional Shine Artist Management. Directed by Erik Matti, the HBO Original Philippine series also stars Edu Manzano and RK Bagatsing.
Andrea's wardrobe is all about tailored power suits in classic shades of gray, black, and navy. Her outfits are polished, structured, and perfect for anyone who wants to bring a little boss energy into their everyday wardrobe. Meanwhile, the characters played by Manzano and Bagatsing lean toward a more relaxed take on professional dressing. Their looks show that you don't always need a perfectly tailored suit to look confident and put together. For me, this is a great reminder that a well-fitted blazer and classic trousers can go a long way, whether you're heading to a business meeting or managing your own day-to-day responsibilities. New episodes of Call My Manager drop every Thursday on HBO Max.
2. Embrace Your Edgy Side Like Kara Zor-El in Supergirl
Not all fashion inspiration has to be polished and perfectly coordinated. Sometimes, a little rebellious attitude makes an outfit more interesting. That's exactly what Kara Zor-El, played by Milly Alcock, brings to Supergirl.
Away from her superhero costume, Kara's everyday wardrobe has a rugged, punk-inspired aesthetic. Think tan-brown hooded trench coats, jeans, Miu Miu boots, and a Blondie T-shirt. Her style has that effortless, slightly undone look that somehow still works. It's the kind of outfit that makes a statement without looking like you've spent hours putting it together.
Costume designers Anna B. Sheppard and Michael Mooney created a wardrobe that resonated with Gen Z audiences. The tan trench coat even gained attention from online retailers following the movie's release. If you're into casual outfits with a little edge, Kara's wardrobe is definitely worth taking inspiration from. Supergirl is now streaming on HBO Max.
3. Bring Back Retro Fashion Inspired by Michael
Fashion trends may come and go, but some iconic looks never really go out of style. The 2026 biographical film Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, celebrates the life and career of Michael Jackson through his music, performances, and unforgettable fashion moments.
Costume designer Marci Rodgers recreates the singer's evolving style, from the colorful outfits of his Jackson 5 years to the distinctive looks that defined his solo career. One of the biggest highlights is the collection of iconic jackets inspired by some of Michael Jackson's most memorable performances.
These include the red leather jacket with V-shaped piping from Thriller, the sparkly jacket, glove, and socks from his Billie Jean performance at Motown 25, the belts-and-buckles jacket from Bad, and the white suit and hat from Smooth Criminal. If you love experimenting with vintage-inspired fashion, these looks offer plenty of ideas. You can incorporate retro elements into your wardrobe through statement jackets, bold accessories, or classic pieces with a modern twist. Michael premieres on HBO Max on September 25.
4. Get Inspired by the Understated Luxury of MobLand Season 2
Who says fashion has to be loud to make a statement? The characters in MobLand prove that understated luxury can be just as eye-catching. Starring Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren, and Tom Hardy, the series brings modern mob fashion to the screen with sophisticated tailoring and carefully selected wardrobe pieces.
The overall aesthetic is expensive-looking without being overly flashy. Think Anglo-Italian tailoring, Ralph Lauren pieces, Salomon shoes, and Barbour-inspired silhouettes for the men. Meanwhile, Helen Mirren's character, Maeve Harrigan, makes an impression with her signature all-black wardrobe. The looks are elegant, powerful, and effortlessly commanding. Even the accessories play an important role, with luxurious Swiss watches completing the characters' outfits.
For anyone who prefers classic pieces over fast-changing trends, MobLand offers plenty of style inspiration. A good blazer, well-cut trousers, neutral colors, and timeless accessories can instantly elevate an everyday look. MobLand Season 2 premieres on HBO Max on September 19.
