Some assorted Wooster-relevant images:

1) Lester DePester and Betty from C. A. Voight’s comic strip, Betty. Bertie compares Gussie Finknottle to Mr. DePester in The Mating Season.

2) Jessie Matthews, who may have been Wodehouse’s visual reference for Stiffy Byng.

3) Gertrude Lawrence, one of the inspirations for Cora “Corky” Pirbright.

4) Jack Buchanan getting his trousers ogled. Not directly relevant, but it embodies the Wooster spirit.
