Mumtaz's 'Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyaar Ke Charche' iconic look sealed her fate as a bonafied fashion queen. She put the risque sarees on the map for years and years to come. Mumtaz's low-waist, pre-pleated saree with gold gota bordes and the iconic frilly hemline made this look stand out for what it was for that time: bold, beautiful, and legendary.

Sridevi in Chandini drove everyone mad! The chiffon sarees were IN and became every director's dream from then on. Sridevi in particular sported the most exquisite white chiffon saree

Athleisure: All the rage in 2023, ever wonder how far back it goes? Karisma Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit wore the most stylish yet sporty outfits in Dil Toh Pagal Hai. The name of the game was cycling shorts, sports bras, and form-fitting kurtas. Karisma's toned figure made athleisure look like something every woman was scouring the earth for

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai has its own place in the hall of fame because it gave us not one but three different kinds of fashion inspiration that would stay iconic. First, we have Anjali's iconic tomboy outfits. For the look, she was always in dungarees, covered-up jumpsuits, always accompanied by a backward cap and a wraparound jacket.

Next, we have Tina and Raj. Tina's sexy clothes were everything. From mini skirts to crop tops, these outfits are being worn daily. Raj was all about the prints, fitted sporty t-shirts, and cool glasses to offer that 'I'm too cool to dress up; I just woke up like this' vibe.

Dil Wale Dhulaniya Le Jaayenge: The movie gave us Raj's iconic varsity and leather jackets for one but we also got Simran's iconic green halterneck dress with a sexy split, that still leaves our jaws hanging

Hum Aapke Hain Koun: Need we say any more? Madhuri Dxit's pruple saree was ahead of its time in terms of the way it was styled. The long-sleeved blouse had golden embellishments on the neck that matched seamlessly with the otherwise 'plain' saree, which had a matching border. The outfit is one of the major go-tos even today.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham: You already know who set major fashion goals that ruled Y2K and continue to rule even today. Hi Poo!, aka Pooja, sets fashion goals like no other character. Poo's yellow top, which she paired with a yellow choker, has a fan base of its own. She accesorized flawlessly with the cool sunglasses.

This outfit by Poo makes every fashion influencer feel more. The pink jacket, the fur scarf, the sunglasses—all chefs kiss!

Among the many looks, Kareena Kapoor donned in Jab We Met. 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.

Aishwarya Rai in Dhoom 2 gave us the ultimate rebel chic. The asymmetrical tops and the denim mini skirt haunted many dreams for a long time

Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani: Naina's blue saree is what dreams are made of. Deepika Padukone effortlessly showed a whole new generation a new way to style and drape sarees

The Mehendi outfit consisted of a pink bra top paired with a low-waisted yellow-orange lehenga skirt, which she draped with an orange dupatta. It was then that a new fashion trend was created!

Deepika Padukone in Piku showed us that simple can still storm all our hearts. Plain colour kurtas and black kohled eyes became all the rage
