Katy Perry and Mariah Carey transform into icons for Harper's Bazaar feature

The upcoming September issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine sees a series of famous women, including Mariah Carey, Katy Perry and Willow Smith, transformed into icons (pictured below). 

Speaking about choosing to portray Elizabeth Taylor, Perry said: "An icon transcends time. Liz was so fabulous and decadent and had a style that evolved with the years. And I'm sure I'll be married just as many times."

Carey appears in the spread as Marie Antoinette and she confessed that while she has nothing in common with the historic figure, she loves her outfits: "I’m pretty much the opposite of Marie Antoinette, but it’s always fun to throw on a costume."

Willow Smith also stars in the special edition and opened up about what inspired her to be styled as Kali, the goddess associated with empowerment, telling the magazine: “When I was little, I would go into my mom’s meditation room and read her books about goddesses. Kali stayed with me because she is terrifying yet beautiful.”
