Well, that's because she's so iconic that many drag performers use a similar look

That totally explains it actually, neat.

(Just to be clear because I got a bunch of replies, my original comment wasn't negative at all)

Dolly Parton on losing a Dolly Parton lookalike contest:

They had a bunch of Chers and Dollys that year and so I just over-exaggerated, made the beauty mark bigger, made my eyes bigger, the hair bigger — everything. … All of these other beautiful drag queens had worked for months and weeks getting their clothes and all that, and they were dressed like me. So, I just got in the line and I just walked across [the stage] and they just thought I was some little, short gay guy. And I got the least applause but I was just dying laughing inside. I say it's a good thing I was a girl or I'd be a drag queen.
