a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something.
i·con·ic
adjective
of, relating to, or of the nature of an icon.
Basing it off of these definitions, Hilary is definitely more iconic. She is the girl who is known for starting the young actress turned singer fad that not only is still being used with the current Disney girls, but it's spread out to the Nickelodeon girls too. She is the girl who put the Disney Channel and Hollywood records back on the map and is regarded as the "Queen of Disney" by many for doing so. She's also the girl who is known for being "the only Disney star who didn't go crazy", which is not true because there are plenty of them who hadn't but the fact that Hilary's name, more than anyone else's, is associated with that speaks for itself. Just like Lindsay is used as the example for the typical childstar turned hot mess, Hilary represents the sweet, well-behaved childstar who kept her **** together and grew up to be a classy lady. Sure Raven is mentioned for not going crazy every once in a blue moon, but still.. The fact that Hilary represents all of those things alone makes her iconic.
And I'm not even gonna talk about movies, music, tours, etc. cause the good sistrens have already done that.
