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.

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.
