'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.'
Meanwhile, Dakota slipped into a leather catsuit and donned a long, flowing wig to embody an unconventional version of the goddess of love, Aphrodite.
The 25-year-old actress was drenched with water as she glided along on a skateboard.
'In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the primary image of feminine divine love,' Dakota explained.
'To me, she embodies the power of love and pleasure, and represents the mystery and intricacy of women.'
The visually stunning also features Oprah Winfrey as Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard Of Oz, Mariah Carey as Marie Antoinette, Willow Smith as Hindu goddess Kali and cover star Rosie Huntington as fashion maven Diana Vreeland.
Explaining why she wanted to pose as the controversial French queen, Mariah said: 'I’m pretty much the opposite of Marie Antoinette, but it’s always fun to throw on a costume.'
Icons by Carine Roitfeld and Jean-Paul Goude appears in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, on sale 4th August.
