Who Wears BELL BOTTOMS Best?

Any mention of 1970s fashion and bell bottoms will top the look. The flared pants trend took the style conscious by storm through the flower power decade and Bollywood was sure to rock it in style.

And though Akshay Kumar's latest, called Bell Bottom, is a political thriller, the actor sports the look to the hilt.
