Carine Roitfeld and Jean-Paul Goude united to transform today's icons into history's legends for the September 2015 issue of Harper's bazaar

Oprah Winfrey as Glinda the good witch

Harper's Bazaar new 2015 icons spread featured stars such as Oprah Winfrey dressed as Glinda the Good Witch, Katy Perry as Elizabeth Taylor and even more jaw-dropping makeovers.

The spread was photographed by legendary photographer, Jean-Paul Goude and styled by the magazine’s global fashion director, Carine Roitfeld.

Jean-Paul tapped talents of today including Dakota Johnson, Jessica Chastain, Mariah Carey and model and musician, Lucky Blue to represent luminaries of years past.

Mariah Carey, wore an elaborate French outfit as Marie Antoinette on Fragonard's swing. The singer said, "I'm pretty much the opposite of Marie Antoinette, but it's always fun to throw on a costume!".

50 Shades of Grey‘s Dakota Johnson channeled Aphrodite, the image of a feminine divine love in Greek mythology.

She revealed, “To me, she embodies the power of love and pleasure, and represents the mystery and intricacy of women.” We’re fairly sure Aphrodite flew rather than rolling in on a skateboard, but we always appreciate some artistic license.
