you are taking the term ‘idolize’ very loosely here i see, seriously, what do following fashion fads have anything to do with idolizing anyone? theres a difference between style icons and cultural icons, their impact on a society is totally different and unless we learn to differenciate between the two, this is a moot point altogether.
Pop culture these days is being confused as ‘iconic’. thats why we hear so often that our cultural/religious values are on the brink of extinction. Fashion or style icons are media created/generated, the kind you are talking about, they are not idols by a long shot. Cultural icons have deep-seated roots in that culture or society, they are representatives of a majority of the population not just the elite 2% of the country and they don’t go out of fashion like a fad does.
