Where did the hot pink dress trend that has been going on for the past few days come from?

In the past few days, social media has exploded with a series of images transforming outfits thanks to a photo editing application. In particular, the image of a sparkling pink dress appearing densely on social media makes many people curious about the origin of this trend.

Accordingly, the application referred to as B.C (abbreviated) is a photo editing application from Meitu, a Chinese technology company famous for beauty software such as MeituPic and AirBrush. Known as a tool to help "upscale" portrait photos, B.C not only provides color filters, virtual makeup tools, or skin beautification features, but also integrates many advanced technologies to help users easily edit photos without too many professional skills. This application used to be popular in many countries thanks to its natural beauty ability, in line with the aesthetic standards of many users.

Recently, however, B.C has attracted special attention with its "AI Wardrobe" feature, which helps to change outfits quickly without resorting to Photoshop or professional editing tools.

"AI wardrobe": Dress up at a glance

The "AI Locker" feature works by allowing users to upload or take a new photo, then select the "AI Locker" item in the app's toolbar. B.C will automatically recognize the body, analyze the features on the photo and apply the virtual outfit according to the user's choice. After a few seconds of processing, the application will display the result, helping users preview the edited image before saving it to the device or sharing it on social networks.

The special feature of this feature lies in its ability to retain details of the face, hair, and posture while changing outfits, creating more realistic images than traditional editing methods. Currently, B.C offers a variety of outfits for users to experiment with, from gorgeous evening dresses, polite business attire to dynamic streetwear styles with jeans, hoodies or tennis skirts. In addition, the application also has cosplay costume models such as traditional ao dai, kimono, Hanbok or Chinese ancient costumes. Users can even apply this feature to try on clothes for children, create unique photos without the hassle of changing the real outfit.

A tool for young people's "virtual life"?

In addition to the "AI Locker", B.C also owns many advanced photo editing tools, including the ability to edit faces and bodies with AI. The app allows users to smooth their skin, adjust facial proportions, shrink their chin, have a nose job, and change their hairstyle in just a few taps. More advanced features such as changing eye color, slimming the body, lengthening legs or editing the waist are also integrated, making it easy for users to create the desired image.

Besides, B.C offers a variety of color filters, which make photos look sharper and more vibrant. Light adjustment and shadow removal help overcome common photography issues such as backlighting or uneven backdrops. One of the other notable features of the app is its ability to remove unwanted objects, which helps to remove excess details on the photo without losing the authenticity of the original photo.

Not only stopping at still photos, B.C also integrates many smart video editing effects. The Auto-tune feature makes videos more beautiful without complicated post-production, while the AI video mode supports video recording with automatic makeup effects. In addition, the "Professional Photography" mode in B.C can also simulate a DSLR camera, create a background removal effect like a professional camera, or use the film camera mode to create nostalgic photos.

The negative side of the trend of "dressing up" with AI

Although it brings many interesting experiences, the trend of changing clothes with B.C also poses many problems worth pondering. One of the most significant impacts is distorting one's self-image. B.C can not only change her outfit but also edit her physique significantly. Many images after editing have a big difference from reality, making users may be dependent on virtual images and feel dissatisfied with their appearance in reality.

In addition, changing outfits with AI can lead to the spread of fake images on social media. Some people have taken advantage of this feature to create images that are untrue, misleading, or even create false content about others. Besides, the popularity of powerful photo editing tools like B.C can also negatively impact the perception of beauty in society. As over-edited photos become the norm on social media, many people, especially young people, may feel pressured to follow unrealistic beauty standards, leading to low self-esteem about their appearance.

Another issue that should also be noted is the risk of privacy. Photo editing apps can collect facial data and users' personal information, creating a risk of data leakage or unauthorized use. Users are advised to double-check the app's access and consider before uploading personal photos to the online platform to avoid unwanted risks.

Consider before "swinging the trend"

The trend of "dressing up" with AI with B.C shows the strong development of photo editing technology and artificial intelligence in the field of beauty. However, besides being fun and convenient, users also need to be careful with the negative effects that excessive photo editing can bring.

B.C can be a useful tool for content creation and image personalization, but it needs to be used properly to avoid negative effects on the perception of beauty and self-worth.
