Hello, Clinton Kelly from What Not to Wear?
Also, every resident of Arlington, VA and the NW quarter of Washington, DC.
Patrick Bateman and Gordon Gecko were Yuppies.
more prep than you can pop a collar at:
–Jackie O.
–James Bond
–Audrey Hepburn
–Richie Cunningham from “Happy Days”
–90% of the student body from my university
Gordon Gekko: “Yeah, not bad for a City College boy. I bought my way in, now all these Ivy league schmucks are sucking my kneecaps.”
Did you even watch the movie?
lovely list! :)
Gordon Gekko definitely not a preppy. Tom Ripley (a poseur) was not one either, he just dressed like one. It was his method to become someone else.
Forgetting Jackie Kennedy is just heartless.
You forgot the great preppy artist, Tina Barney.
Tory Burch is not a preppy. Her ex-husband is. She just likes to dress like one from the 1970′s.
Barack Obama certainly qualifies, as he went to Punahou School.

Ryan O’Neal was the preppie…Ali MacGraw WASN’T..that was the point…
I think this list should be either real people or just characters- not a mixture of both.
You need to include:
- Jackie O
- Katharine Hepburn
- Grace Kelly
- Babe Paley
- C.Z. Guest
- Princess Diana
- Julia Child
