'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' turns 26: 5 iconic fashion moments from the movie that are still trendy

It's been 26 years since Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was released and '90s kids are officially too old to be called 'kids' anymore! Karan Johar's cult classic starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji created a craze that is still going strong after all these years. From the catchy chartbusters to enviable fashion, the movie set standards for all young ones what college life is going to be - a standard that was never actually met! Today, on this momentous occasion, let's take a look back at iconic fashion moments from the movie that aged like fine wine and still remain trendy!

Iconic looks from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai that are still trendy

1) Kajol's solid-coloured chiffon sarees

While we first saw the trend when Sridevi wore such sarees in Chandni, Kajol took the mantle in the '90s with her chiffon, solid-coloured sarees. With Kajol's character Anjali's transformation in the second half of the movie, to a typical beauty from her tomboy days in college, Kajol was seen in a rainbow of chiffon sarees with every imaginable colour!

2) Shah Rukh Khan's oversized hoodies

Shah Rukh Khan or 'Rahul' gained an ardent following with his oversized GAP hoodies and jackets in the movie, a trend that is still very much favoured by both men and women. While Shah Rukh was the image of carefree, uber-cool fashion, oversized hoodies are now associated with comfort above anything else.

3) Rani Mukerji's athleisure

Rani Mukerji's Tina was the most fashionable character of the '90s. Rani effortlessly portrayed the character and its many nuances whether she was wearing micro-mini co-ord sets while attending classes, wearing sequined dresses at impromptu concerts or salwar suits in dance sequences.

4) Kajol's patchwork lehenga

While Manish Malhotra did Kajol bad in the first half of her movie with tacky co-ords sets or boyish gym wear, Kajol's wardrobe was completely transformed in the second half to establish the theme of her beautification once she conformed to more girlish clothes. In the very first scene, we saw the 'new' Anjali, Kajol wearing a stunning lehenga featuring intricate patchwork details. In fact, Malhotra revealed that the lehenga was inspired by a Persian rug he and Karan saw at a store on Bond Street.

5) Rani Mukerji's semi-sheer suit sets

Another fashion trend that transcended time was Rani Mukerji's stylish yet homely suit sets. The young diva wore several pastel-hued suits in the movie which were used to add depth to her character and make the audience believe that she was so much more than the stylish foreign-return daughter of Anupam Kher.

While it has been 26 years, the movie remains a fan favourite. If you have gotten the feels, this is the perfect occasion to stream the movie and travel back to simpler times with Tina, Anjali and Rahul.
