Bollywood fashion disasters of 90s that made us go WTF

The ‘golden’ Amrita Singh

Is she trying to be the Indian Cleopatra? Not a single part of her body is spared and is laden with that gaudy jewellery. The effect is really, really making the eyes bleed.

Red with envy, Sridevi?

What was the stylist thinking while putting this ensemble together for the movie 'Sultanat'? Look at the magnitude of colour co-ordination and the mind-boggling creativity! Hats off, dude!

‘Un’flowered Madhuri Dixit Nene

We think she's trying to help the world by offering leafy vegetables and flowers at their doorstep! And those yellow gloves; let's not even get there.

‘Aaoooo’ Shakti Kapoor (not coming, definitely)

Does he think he's Marlon Brando? We genuinely thank that piece of blue cloth. It saved us from some haunting memories.

Mis-coloured Anu Aggarwal

Did she take some inspiration from Amitabh Bachchan's light bulb outfit from 'Saara Zamana'? She looks like she's ready to hit the dance floor on Saturday night. And voila! The lady is carrying portable white disco lights as well.

Throw away that dungree, Karisma Kapoor

Lolo, is that a baby diaper, dungaree or a chef costume? Or is the effect of an overdose of watching the Superman series as a child?

Juhi Chawla & Govinda dressed in polythene

Seriously? How does wearing glittering wraparounds make you guys look glamourous?

Get away from each other, please!

What's the reason behind Kajol and Rekha, both being gorgeus and talented, getting into the same sweater? Did the magazine have budget constraints? Or the only other logical explanation is that they were fighting for gay rights back then in 1990s.

If there’s one thing the Bollywood of 90s is fondly remembered for, it’s the slapstick comedy of Govinda, the demigod of dance, in movies like ‘Raja Babu’, ‘Deewana Mastana’, ‘Coolie No.1’ and ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’. And yeah, the evergreen dialogues like ‘Aila, Juhi Chawla’ (we are tempted to add so many more.. like ‘Ui maa’), from ‘Andaaz Apna Apna’ featuring Aamir & Salman Khan.

But what is that one thing from the 90s decade we’d like to overlook? Fashion. The era has really scarred our minds with its dressing sense. We wish we could just Ctrl-Alt-Del those cringe-inducing images of pigtails, eye-popping net vests, bright outfits that could make you colour blind (neon shirts??), bushy eyebrows, horrendous jewellery and bling tees. While most of the stars gave the fashion police nightmares, there were some who outshone the others. (Also Read: #Junestagram: Instagram pictures of Bollywood stars that set the month on fire)

Let’s take a walk down the memory lane, and take a look at the worst offenders of the 90s. Take a deep breath; here we go!
