7 Hot ’90s Fashion Icons Who Will Give GenZ A Run For Their Money!

The 1990s was a fashionable decade in Bollywood. With enduring styles, it gave us some of the biggest fashion icons of all time. Bollywood actresses from the 1990s gave us iconic looks that were modest yet sensual!

I’m pretty sure if these icons were to make a comeback, they would give even Gen Z fashionistas a run for their money and that’s a lot to say! Let’s take a walk down memory lane and look at these fashion icons from the 1990s who will always remain irreplaceable: 

Rani Mukerji 

From Tina in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Naina in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum, Rani Mukerji in the 1990s was a fashion force. Tina Malhotra was the embodiment of “get you a girl who can do both,” as the character effortlessly popularised mini dresses as well as salwar suits. Also, Rani’s Manish Malhotra lehenga in Shava Shava is an outfit that many girls still dream of.

Karisma Kapoor 

Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) got the guy in Dil Toh Pagal Hai, but Nisha (Karisma Kapoor) was the one to win hearts with her fashion looks! Lolo was the quintessential “it girl” of the 1990s. She turned heads in both her onscreen and offscreen looks. Karisma was the queen of oversized denim, vibrant pop-up hues, and statement accessories like belts and headbands.

Juhi Chawla 

Juhi Chawla donned off-shoulder tops and quirky prints long before they became a fashion trend. She introduced Indian fashion to Bardot necklines. She also made corset belts look so hip and elegant that the trend was bound to make a comeback!

Madhuri Dixit 

Madhuri Dixit deserves huge credit for making ethnic dresses and indo-western outfits what they are today. Be it slitted suits or the iconic white lehenga that Pooja wore in Dil Toh Pagal Hai, Madhuri showed us how to style ethnic wear the cool way! Nisha’s pink dress paired with pearls in Hum Aapke Hai Koun is a look that will be remembered for years! 

Kajol 

Kajol‘s indelible cultural impact through her character portrayals will always be celebrated. From Simran in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to Anjali in KKHH, her styling in the 1990s was outstanding. She was the epitome of femininity in DDLJ, wearing a seductive satin halter-neck outfit, but she also made the tomboy look cool in KKHH. Kajol’s style is still unrivalled decades later. 

Sonali Bendre 

Sonali Bendre was a national crush in the 1990s, easily enchanting her audience with her style. She arrived at the scene with Sarfarosh and Sonali’s looks from the film were all that people could talk about. She served some of the most fashionable looks of the period which are still regarded as a smashing success. The song Jo Haal Dil Ka, in particular, was a phenomenon. It featured the actress dancing in co-ord sets in five different colours. 

Raveena Tandon

Raveena Tandon was the perfect example of the “girl next door” who comes with a little bit of an edge. Be it her quirky makeup looks or her super sexy yellow saree in Tip Tip Barsa Pani, Raveena set the fashion benchmark really high! From bold bikinis to sarees, the actress could make anything look sensual. 

Even decades later, no actress has been able to match up to these fashion icons from the 1990s, and honestly, none of them can. #IconsOnly
