It's a specific and idiomatic use of "it" to mean "the one that everyone is talking about, admiring, writing about, etc."
It started off as use as "the it girl" -- meaning the young woman who was in all the gossip columns, the person you wanted to show up at your parties, etc. Now, apparently, we have an "it phone" in addition to an "it girl."
