  Moore is viewed as a pioneer for equal salary for women in Hollywood. She was paid $12.5 million for her role in Striptease, which was more money than any other actress had ever been offered at the time. Producers for Striptease and G.I. Jane got into a bidding war to see who could get her to film first. Striptease won and Moore became the world's highest-paid actress in 1995. According to Entertainment Weekly, Moore's fee for the film caused a "reverse domino effect" in the industry, as " Sharon Stone 's asking price jumped from $6 million to $7 million, Jodie Foster went from $7 million to $8 million, Meg Ryan moved from $6 million to $8 million, and Julia Roberts leaped from $12 million to $13 million."
  
  During the production of G.I. Jane, it was reported that Moore had ordered studio chiefs to charter two planes for her entourage and her, which reinforced her negative reputation for being a diva —she had previously turned down the Sandra Bullock role in While You Were Sleeping because the studio refused to meet her salary demands, and was dubbed "Gimme Moore" by the media. Retrospectively, Lifetime called her a "pioneer for other actresses by being the first female lead to demand the same salary, benefits and billing as her male counterparts." Profiling Moore in 2007, The Guardian observed: "Her screen persona always has something indestructible about it. There's a toughness, a strength, a determination." She was the subject of an E! True Hollywood Story special in 2003 and of a Celebrity Style Story special in 2012.
  
  Moore has been included in a number of magazine lists of the world's most beautiful women. In 1996, she was selected as one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People. In 1999, she was a guest editor for the November issue of Marie Claire, and was ranked eighth on Forbes ' list of Top 20 Actresses, based on three separate lists of box office receipts. In 2004, People ranked her ninth on their list of All-Time Most Beautiful Women. In 2006, she was voted seventh on Life & Style ' s Best Dressed Female poll. In December 2019, The Wall Street Journal listed a cover story about Moore as one of their most-read stories in the year. In 2025, she was placed at number one on People 's annual list of 100 Most Beautiful People, and was one of Time magazine's The 100 Most Influential People of 2025.
  
  Moore has 4.5 million followers on Twitter, as of January 2020. She uses Twitter as a platform to raise awareness of sexual trafficking and slavery. "She is practicing what she preaches: More than half of her posts are on the subject, directing followers where to get involved," Harper's Bazaar reported in August 2010. Moore remarked: "I like to connect to people in the virtual world exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths." As of March 2024, Moore has 6.1 million Instagram followers.
  
  Moore has graced the cover of numerous international fashion magazines, including W, Vanity Fair, Interview, Rolling Stone, Glamour, InStyle, Time and Vogue. She posed nude on the October 2019 cover of Harper's Bazaar. As of 2024, she has appeared on magazine covers every year since 1980.
