To be honest, if there was one actress in Bollywood that epitomised 90s style, it was probably Karisma Kapoor. She championed a throwback style that is making a major comeback today—oversized denim, bright colours, plenty of headbands and belts—it feels you can’t miss. From Raja Hindustani to Judwaa and Coolie No.1, the 47-year-old had a slew of classic looks that were once the envy of every young lady. Then there’s Dil Toh Pagal Hai, which redefined modern dressing in Bollywood. Fitted crop tops, cycling shorts, and jackets flooded the market, making women feel beautiful. Karisma has always been at the top of her game, whether it’s with her acting or her filmmaking.

Another approach to incorporating statement elements into your everyday wardrobe is to layer a mirror-worked vest over a white shirt and denim ensemble.
Blue affair
Jigaar’s clothing is basic, wearable, and quite stylish. Just your basic mommy jeans, a knotted flowery blue and white shirt, and a white belt to tie it all together.
Sheer look
The still from Raja Hindustani demonstrates Lolo’s mastery of the sheer trend. Even in the 1990s, the blacktop with trousers and a big-buckled belt is sophisticated and trendy.
