Here's an interesting article about her in Vogue. https://www.vogue.com/article/molly-moorkamp-website-launch

I looked at her website and there were some better dresses than posted here and she does seem to have a good aesthetic overall.

That said, when I look at stuff like this it reminds me of why entireworld sweatsuits are the hottest fashion looks to the moment.

Missouri.

She looks and apparently lives like UES WASP cosplay.

Yes--St. Louis area. And not a WASP for those who care about the P.

This makes perfect sense. I am from neighboring Iowa, and these looks are definitely something that would be considered prestige/status fashion there. The high neck, the helmet hair and unnatural hair color, the tan skin, etc. One thing that should have made it a dead giveaway to me is the ill fitting dress. For example, in the pic where she wears a dark shift dress, it's clear that the dress is not well tailored. All of the clothes are poorly tailored. The reality is that a lot of midwestern places have only a few tailors or dry cleaners in town because people don't wear suits or items that need dry cleaning regularly. So people buy off the rack fashion and wear it as is. Since no one is getting anything tailored except a hem here and there, their eyes aren't as trained to it and things that we might put back on the rack due to fit issues (ie if you just dont want to get something tailored) they will think it's fine and buy it. This look of bleach blonde and tan skin is often attributed to the south but I spent several years of my adult life in 2 southern states and they are usually pretty natural. They may wear brighter make up but their hair colors are essentially the same.

Maybe Southerners would be into this? I'm a NE WASP and it is and always has been about looking fresh and natural. So some lighter highlights on a natural blonde base? Yes! This, "I got into a fight with a bottle of peroxide and some cheap Clairol in my bathroom" look absolutely does not fit with that aesthetic and would be considered pretty cheap and trashy looking. It's definitely not working for this woman.

Yes, this is about as far from the Wasp aesthetic as you can get.

Yes. My first exposure to the Wasp was with my suitemates at Harvard. I had never met people like that and it was kind of fascinating to me as an undergrad from a different world. Those girls and their moms were NOT 'done up' like this woman. Certainly no bleach jobs. The girls almost uniformly had long hair that was somehow thick and shiny even though they didn't do much to it, and the moms didn't seem to spent huge amounts of time grooming (though that kind of natural look is expensive and takes a lot of work, I know now). They wore makeup and did have their hair highlighted sometimes, but it was always the kind of thing that looked natural. So much more difficult to achieve than this woman's heavy-handed look. Maybe as some have said here, it is a Southern look? Is she even from the South?

This unfortunate woman in the photos would have been labeled trashy-looking by my 'real' NE Wasp friends. My college friends are in their late 30s now and nobody would be caught dead with this ugly bleached out rooty look now: the blondes have the kind of expensive colouring that looks as if they could have been born with it. And the orange makeup is is a no.

This was exactly what I saw at my college way down south. There were no bleached blondes.

Who is that woman?

Thanks for the laugh! She’s not sporty and fit, she’s not curvy and sexy, she’s just...milquetoast. No, decidedly men do not like this aesthetic.

OK, but the point of the thread was the hair.

I'd be interested to hear the OP's response from all the feedback?

No, not at all. She's quite unattractive. Horse face, weird eyebrows, not much of a figure, and the hair is pretty ugly. I give her a solid 5.

that's not a white thing

They look like they are trying to escape her face. They are pretty thick but overplucked all through the middle. Plus she should lighten them a titch to make them less distracting with her hair?

They are just widespread brows - not everyone has a monobrow.

Look at the pics with her brother. He has the same eyebrows.

They're gorgeous!

So feminine and traditional:

If those are her dresses, she needs to get them filled better

I love those dresses.

+1 I have a friend who is naturally this blonde, and it looks great on her because her hair is healthy. It never looks good for long out of the bottle.

Just looked at this and yeah, she looks like she has a swimmer's body. My daughter has one and she won't wear anything that is sleeveless like that! Says it makes her look like a barn.

This exactly. I spent a lot of time at Princeton, and also got an introduction to this world. This woman’s helmet/Conehead hair would never fit.
