Tu cheez badi hai mast!

It’s clearly a celebration in the film and fashion fraternity as our 90s crush, Raveena Tandon rings in her birthday today. She made her Bollywood debut with film Patthar Ke Phool and the rest is history. Tandon has many blockbuster films in her kitty which include Laadla, Dilwale, Mohra, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, Ziddi, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Dulhe Raja, amongst others. Raveena has portrayed strong female characters and her roles in Matr, Aks and Daman garnered her critical appreciation. This National Film Award and Filmfare Award winner continues to reign over our hearts and is a strong personality in the film industry!

In addition to being an exceptional actress, Raveena is a style statement in herself! This bold and unabashed style icon has a beauty vlog and is about to start her own fashion line. No matter the era, she has always stayed on top of her beauty game and never ceased to impress us with her impeccable fashion sense. This trendsetting icon sported some looks back in the 90s which were ahead of its time and still hold relevance today.

As this style maven turns a year older today, here’s going down the memory lane and looking back at some iconic trends aced by Raveena

THE YELLOW SAREE LOOK

We can never think of Tip Tip Barsa Paani from Mohra without imagining a sensuous, sari-clad Raveena. We bet you can NEVER forget this iconic yellow saree look flaunted by this diva back in the 90s’. Taking a chirpy and happy color and making it look sexy is one task and Tandon nailed it with perfection.

Although many leading ladies took this sexy yellow saree look ahead, but Raveena set the benchmark higher. As they say, Old is indeed Gold!

THE ALL WHITE LOOK

Another stellar look from the film Mohra. Well, to be honest, Ravena nailed an all-white look before it was cool!

Cool headgear, braided hairdo…everything about this look was just iconic.

CROPS,UBER-COOL SUNNIES AND CLASSY HAIRDO

With Dulhe Raja, Raveena brought on the trend of printed crop tops, chic sunnies and oodles of hairdo inspiration.

Her modern twist to a traditional outfit still continues to be one of the classic trends.

Also, sorry Priya Prakash Warrier, but it was who Ravena started the akhiyon se goli maare trend!

METALLIC LIPS AND EMBELLISHED OUTFITS

In the film Akhiyon Se Goli Maare, Raveena flaunted a lot of embellished and sequined outfits that are still trending. She was one of the actresses who could ace a metallic pout with much finesse.

BOLD AND BOSSY

How can we forget her unabashed look from the film Aks? The song Yeh Raat would be nothing without our glam doll and her classic striptease!

She kept the sensuous element intact and gave us looks to remember for ages!

QUINTESSENTIAL AND SURREAL DESI NAARI

Film Pardesi Babu put Tandon in a different light where we could gaze at her beauty all day long.

Raveena as simple and surreal Karuna was just a feast to our sore eyes. The subtle salwar kameez, nose ring, the minuscule bindi, everything was just perfect about this look.
