No. Too much makeup and too put together.

This. All of this. I wouldn’t say actual WASPs are any kind of fashion icons. They do have dresses for parties but they’re not anything special. The women I know are trim but with athletic builds. They look like they could still play lacrosse or swim or jump on a horse.
No, I feel like this was also everyone at the catholic school I attended in the 90s.
Catholics definitely ape the WASP look.
Exactly who are they aping? Nobody has mentioned a real WASP yet in here, its been all Catholic and Jewish women. If this is such an iconic obvious look, why has it been so hard to identify one actual WASP who embodies it? One thing I know, skimpy bikinis, are not part of the "look."
Yes they have. See above on Brits. Think about where the "Anglo-Saxon" in WASP came from.
And Roosevelt and Bush, whom you may not consider fashion icons.
The OPs question was what do they dress and look like. If the examples are Roosevelt and Bush then that's not exactly current or relevant. So does modern WASP not exist in the US? Who in the US best exemplifies this "look" who isn't dead or 90?
They’re not famous! And if they are famous they don’t dress like the rest of the WASPs because that would be weird! This isn’t hard to understand. If you grow up alongside them, you know the look to a T. And it’s not fashion icon status. It’s often rumpled, two decades old, whatever. The best example of a glamorous version is Grace Kelly.
Yet again, another Catholic.

Can we just never bring up Muffy again? She dresses like a man. I guess "like" is a bad work because she quite literally wears mostly men's clothes. She is not a fashionable WASP icon like Carolyn Bassett, Katerine Hepburn, Jackie O
Who is this “Carolyn Bassett” that has been mentioned several times? Is she a lovely WASPY hound dog? Or could you be referring to Carolyn Bessette Kennedy? If so, please learn to spell her name. Also, as pointed out earlier, she’s Catholic. Whomp whomp. All your WASPs are belong to Jews and Catholics.
Only true WASPs spell other true WASPs’ names correctly.

Maybe you should start a new thread where you can punctuate every post with "that person isn't Protestant"
You don't have to BE PROTESTANT to look like a WASP. That's why it's a look and not a birthright.
