I knew now why her face was familiar—its pleasing contemptuous expression had looked out at me from many rotogravure pictures of the sporting life at Asheville and Hot Springs and Palm Beach.

    This part continues to shape Jordan Baker’s character and reflect the shallowness of high society. Nick notices Jordan’s familiar, contemptuous look, which comes from her frequent appearance in luxury social events. Her well‑known yet unpleasant reputation shows that people in the upper class care more about fame and surface glamour than real morality. By describing Jordan’s public image and hidden bad stories, Fitzgerald exposes the empty vanity and moral decline of the Jazz Age elite. It further proves that this glamorous circle is full of arrogance and hypocrisy, leaving no room for sincere people like Gatsby.
