The word 'iconic' could be used in a sentence this way 'My daughter has an iconic appearance'.
That sentence would be grammatically correct but the sentence does not make much sense.
I would say that "iconic" is probably one of the most overused words in the English language.
The word literally means: having the character of an icon. An icon being an image, picture or representation. Icons are famously associated with the painted images of sacred figures (e.g. Virgin Mary, Jesus, saints) found in the Eastern Orthodox religions of Christianity.
The word became popular in the age of computers when it was used to describe symbols used on the computer screen to represent actions or commands (e.g. an "icon" of an envelope might represent an unopened email message).
The word "iconic" however, is now widely used in the sense of being symbolic of something, typically something that is widely known or very popular. In this sense Coca Cola could be said to be an iconic soft drink, or Elvis Presley might be called an iconic Rock and Roller.
If you said your daughter had an iconic appearance, it would be a fairly meaningless statement unless you meant that your daughter's appearance somehow symbolized the idea of daughterhood (which seems difficult to specify).
If you said your daughter had "the iconic appearance of a beauty queen" ,it might make a little more sense.
