What makes a celebrity woman's photograph "iconic"?

Below are some examples of photographs of celebrity women many publications consider iconic. My publicist and I are planning to hire a photographer to capture iconic photographs of me for some upcoming PR, and I want them to be memorable and equally iconic to these examples. To do so, first I need your help to define "iconic".

My definition of an iconic photograph of a female celebrity in the 20th or 21st century is one that celebrates her uniqueness -- not necessarily her supposed "beauty" -- her spirit, and a certain timelessness, positioned ironically against what I would consider fairly clear visual indications in that photograph of the era in which she existed and was famous, hinting that she "embodied the time".

What do you think?

What elements of these are "in common", if any?

What made them "iconic"? Why?

And thanks for all responses!

tynamite's avatar A photograph that once you tear it out a magazine and put it on your wall, that the next couple of months you buy that magazine and see another poster of that person, that you won't want to put that poster on the wall to replace the old one.

So it should amplify ones personal qualities; and secure the presence of the page with its magnetism, and also for the space outside the canvas where the poster lies. If that person was to have a fragrance that you were marketing, you would be happy to put that photograph on the box of the fragrance.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
