Yeah, but Ivy as an icon does mean something just for what she is, the same way Superman does. Ivy, even as just 'the sexy plant villainess from Batman', does stand for something. She's a nature icon, but one that subverts standard female stereotypes just for being what she is. Ivy is a sexy predator (villain), and she's also a plant/flower based female figure, using the one to subvert the other. Ivy flies in the face of a lot of stereotypes: she's not animalistic or vampiric about her sexiness, the way a lot of female villains are, she's not a 'delicate flower' the way a lot of plant-based female characters are, she's sexy and powerful in ways that have nothing whatsoever to do with wanting men herself, since Ivy mostly tends to think of humans as annoying mammalian fleshbags that need to be gotten rid of (with a few, mostly female, exceptions).

Ivy being sexy, from a female point of view, is a lot more complicated than 'skimpy outfit = sexy'. Even with just basic knowledge of her character and role, from any of the myriad adaptations or even just pop cultural osmosis, being 'sexy like Poison Ivy' isn't necessarily the same as being 'sexy full stop'. She's an icon, same as Superman. You wear a Superman cape to feel like a hero, you dress as Ivy to feel sexy and powerful in ways you're not usually allowed to be.
