I am not sure what you mean by "style", but top chess grandmasters certainly play in a different way today compared to, say, 20 years ago. Current play is much more concrete (less based on general strategic principles) and players are willing to take greater risks for rewards such as material gains, since AIs have shown that there are often many more defensive resources than was previously thought as long as the defender remains tenacious.
