Live Poll: Iconic Shots in Which Actors Were Doubled
By nature, filmmakers would try to film the movie in such a way that you won't suspect doubles were used, if they were. Sometimes the shots (or whole scenes) get so iconic that it is surprising to discover that it's not the known iconic actors in them, but some cleverly disguised acting or stunt doubles.
Out of collection of such shots, which one is your favorite?

Anjelica Huston as Agent Mimi's Hands (uncredited) for Deborah Kerr as Agent Mimi (Alias Lady Fiona) in Casino Royale (1967) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_Royale_(1967_film)#Uncredited_cast The film also proved to be young Anjelica Huston's first experience in the film industry as she was called upon by her father, John Huston, to cover the screen shots of Deborah Kerr's hands

In Inglourious Basterds, the scene when Hans is suffocating Bridget, actually it was Tarantino who did that.

I don't have any suggestion (not for iconic shots anyway). Maybe it was a double who rode the bicycle in E.T. in the moon scene? It would be worth to check.

This one distracts me every time I watch the movie. In the famous truck-motorbike pursuit in Terminator 2: Judgement Day you can clearly tell that in the wider shots it's not Arnold riding but stunt double, Norman Howell.

Pretty Woman - In the scene at the beginning when Vivian is getting dressed for the night, the body is actually Shelley Michelle.
Annie - At the end when Annie has climbed up the B&O Bridge to get away from Rooster and Punjab comes to save her, Annie is played by adult stunt double Bobby Porter.
Domino - When Domino does a lap dance, she used a body double named Taryn Powers.
Death Becomes Her - Lisle Von Rhuman has a scene where she seductively gets out of a pool and walks around speaking to Ernest, all while completely naked. The body is that of then-unknown actress Catherine Bell.
More TK tomorrow.

Your Highness - Isabelle, wearing only a g-string, jumps into the lake; the body is Caroline Davis.
In Black Swan Portman is doubled in most of the dancing scenes by dancer Sarah Lane. I'm not sure which specific "iconic shot" you want to pick.
In a similar full-movie situation, Penelope Cruz was body-doubled by her sister Mónica in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides; she was pregnant during the whole shoot, being 7 months by the end of shooting.
Now You See Me - IMDb Trivia: In the J. Daniel Atlas practice sequence near the start of the film, we see the hands of Dan or Dave Buck digitally composited with Jesse Eisenberg's face. These twin brothers are acclaimed sleight of hand artists, as well as pioneers in the art of cardistry. Their skills can be seen in Smokin' Aces (2006), and LazyTown (2002) as well. Cardisty is an open display of skill with cards, similar to juggling. The sequence of moves performed in the film, is called "Pandora", and at the time of filming it was considered one of the most difficult moves in cardistry.
Death Proof - at the very beginning the camera focuses on a pair of feet up on a car dashboard. They are supposed to be Arlene's feet, but they are actually those of actress Shannon Hazlett.

Tom Morga as Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) (whole first scene which required very impressive stunts)
Shannon Hazlett as Arlene's legs in Death Proof (2007)
Marine Jahan in dance sequences of Flashdance (1983)
Peter Kent in the motorcycle jump of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) (image tags are expecting approval)
Quentin Tarantino as Hans Landa's hands in Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Tom Morga (yep, again) as bandaged Michael Myers in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) (image tags are expecting approval)
Johnny Hock (for Tom Morga!) as Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)
Jerry Wallace as Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) (image tags are expecting approval)
Plus a shot from Thor: The Dark World (2013) is expected to arrive as soon as we will have an image approved!
P.S. I know there are, perhaps, too much slasher movies but it is an almost essential element of the genre: as most of the time killer will not be shown fully or will be masked, it is an odd occurrence in most slashers that many actors and/or stuntman will portray one character.
