Top Trends Adorned By Bollywood Diva Karisma Kapoor

From crop tops, chokers, jumpsuits, long t-shirts to short dresses and sarees, Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor was quite a rage when it came to fashion in the 90s.

Here are some trends adorned by the sensation that made a huge impact on the 90s fashion:
