Jessica Simpson, for example, is a classic Adam Hughes.
There's one artist in particular, though, whose style I most often see exemplified by real people: John Byrne.
I recently found a prime example of this phenomenon in the form of this picture of Keira Knightley:

Now, if you know Byrne's work, you'll most likely immediately see what I'm talking about: the eyebrows, the shape of her face, the slightly parted lips...all classic Byrne elements.
Of course, odds are that you aren't familiar with Byrne, so I've done some searching and found an example of his work that might help illustrate my point. It's not exact, but given the enormous body of work that Byrne has produced in the past 30+ years, it's difficult to track down specific examples. In any case, by way of example, here's an undated Byrne sketch (I'd place it as the early to mid-80s) of the Fantastic Four's Invisible Woman:
