many can argue on that, but I have seen the first issues of egg (the first gyaru mag ever, '99 issues) and there has been too much going about Ayu and copying her looks at that period.

Yes, definitely.
Namie actually started the kogal fashion which evolved to ganguro-kei and other gyaru movements. Ayu made chapatsu, hair bleachin/dyeing acceptable and popular and also started the hime-kei fashion.
I think she is a legend in the japanese music industry, just like Nakamori Akina and Yamaguchi Momoe.
