You wouldn't expect someone to be "Ms Hawa Hawai" of the Bollywood Industry and not make style statements we still can't forget. Sridevi was not only an outstanding actress, she was also a diva who could pull off a tacky gold headgear with feathers like a pro. To be honest, we millennials are still crushing over her eccentric outfits from one of the most hilarious songs of a popular Hindi film, Mr India.
*sings... Kehte hai mujhko, hawa hawai...*
Now that you're back, I have a list you will love. That's right, 9 iconic Sridevi looks we admire and where to find similar ones.
1. Sensuous in blue chiffon sari, Mr India
Only Sridevi's unmatched charisma and elegance could make such a simple look this iconic. I mean, look at it. All she has is a pair of golden-blue earrings, round bindi and red lipstick to accompany her. No doubt she is a role model to so many fashionistas even today.

2. On-fleek short bob cut with a velvet headband, Gumraah
This short bob haircut was an instant hit much like the movie it is from. It's a chic Sridevi look that put long-hair trends with heavy buns into perspective. Don't forget to admire this velvet headband that accentuates the cuteness, that is Sridevi.

Chic and modern to this day, here's a Sridevi look that will definitely keep you company on brunch dates and informal office gatherings. If I were you, I'd follow every minute detail that this look has to offer. Yes, even that oversized belt.

4. Raising her style quotient in a printed waistcoat, Gumraah
Prints are always fun. But it's much more fun when they're from Sridevi's closet. And I might have denied my parents the pleasure of watching this awesome film but I will certainly not let this most iconic Sridevi look go waste.

5. Going OTT in headgear and golden maxi dress, Mr India
You can't talk about Sridevi's most iconic looks and not mention this OTT outfit from Mr India. Although perfect for the song, duplicating this headgear will be a job we aren't fit for. So, let's admire it on our screens and get a golden dress for the crazy "Hawa Hawai" feels.

7. Going super-casual in a crop top and high-rise jeans, ChaalBaaz
This OG look ― that we still find appealing ― was rocked by Sridevi in Chaalbaaz almost 30 years ago. This film, in particular, was twice the fun since her double role blessed us with chic, comfy and memorable Sridevi looks we remember to this day.

8. Ageing with grace in a floral print cotton sari, English Vinglish
If ageing was a job, Sridevi nailed it with flair and grace. These cotton floral print saris saw a huge comeback, much like the actress and we couldn't be more thankful.

9. Colourful in ruffled co-ord set, Mr India
Sridevi's off-screen bubbly personality and her on-screen comic timing paved the way for fashion designers to experiment with her looks on a larger scale. I mean, fruit bowl for a hat? However, Sridevi in this multicoloured ruffled co-ord set still looks like a million bucks.
