'Jab We Met' is one the most iconic films of all time. In this gallery, we'll explore all the looks Geet donned that not only was a moment to define in the film but also had repercussions in the real world

Starting with the first scene. The infamous 'Abh toh haath chhod do, itni bhi sundar nahi hu' outfit. Geet had on a simple white kurta but the phulkari dupatta is what got everyone talking. The dupatta dominated fashion trends in 2007

We transition into the scene where Geet ends up missing her train (for the first time ever). As Geet and Aditya ventured into "Ratlam Ki Galliyaan", this harrom pant- long top combo became the ultimate comfy choice for women

The white harrom pant paired with the long top screams Y2K fashion and still serves as a look if you're aiming for peak Bollywood fashion

'Ye Ishq Hai' served so many looks and 16 years later, we're still obsessed. All of Kareena's looks from the song have been idolized for over a decade

Among the many looks, Kareena donned. This corset-skirt moment continues to inspire GenZ even to this day. You will find children recreating this outfit for various competitions from school to college.

It is safe to say that Geet was the pioneer of the boho trend, considering she rocked it 10 years ago. From classic Jhumkas to potli bags, kohled eyes and wedged Kolhapuris and more. She did it all 

Kareena was seen wearing phulkari dupattas scarves with her pants and blouses to add a Punjabi twist to her outfit. The trend spread like wildfire after Jab We Met. 

Transitioning to a sad/angry phase of her life, Geet's wardrobe took a simple turn. The 'flamboyance' was ditched for simple Kurtis and cardigans to mirror her sadness and would you believe? this look was emulated to no extent as well

As Geet was reclaiming her personality post heartbreak, we could see colour slowly creep back into her wardrobe. This light blue salwar served simple yet elegant fashion goals

"Uske roop se katal huye toh charcha shuru hua" Kareena Kapoor's roop in this vibrant patiala suit in the song 'Nagada Nagada' sold out hundreds of stores accross India. This suit is still all the rage, even 16 years later

In the song "Maujha Hi Maujha", she is seen wearing a stylish black pair of Patiala pants paired with an embellished strappy top. The Harem pant came in different fonts throughout the movie but proved how versatile a garment it can be
