A group of TikTok users is planning a unique gathering at Metro Hidalgo station in Mexico City, responding to recent renovations that have altered the station's appearance. The transformations, which include the installation of new, striking light fixtures, have sparked debate online, with some users comparing the station's new aesthetic to historical periods like the Victorian and Baroque eras.

In response to these changes and the online discussion, users are organizing a meetup where attendees are encouraged to wear historical costumes, inspired by styles such as those seen in "Bridgerton." The event is scheduled for Thursday, June 11th, at 5:00 PM. The main meeting point is under the large chandelier in the Metro Hidalgo station, where participants will take a group photo.

For those who wish to extend the experience, a smaller group will convene earlier at 3:00 PM at Bellas Artes. This pre-meetup will include photo opportunities and a planned dance before the main group proceeds to Metro Hidalgo. The organizers are encouraging attendees to "bring out their best period outfit or similar" to participate in this historical fashion experience.
