I think youth icon should be one who herself have a style statement and do justice to her career.I think Priyanka is a mixture of both whereas kat has only the first quality

Priyanka All The Way
Priyanka should win! She carries herself in such a dignified way. She is a wonderful woman, so beautiful, so full of life, so talented. When you watch an interview of her you feel like she is also just human, a very rare thing potrayed by actors!

Priyanka is also definitely the most hardworking actress in the industry. Sh is definitely a youth icon!
