All the girl in 1.2 is doing is putting on makeup while using a toaster as a mirror. Hardly seems very airheaded.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallRegarding Trixie, I believe the trope also covers "East Asian popular girl", but I'm not super sold on the pic either.
Maybe type-namer London Tipton
has enough indicators of stereotypical airheadedness? (Mister Muffykins, all-pink outfit)? Eugh on the quality though.
Or in that vein, Theatre.Mean Girls race-lifted one of the titular mean girls by having an Asian actress play her.
◊ Or is that too similar in spirit to the old image?

I've been thinking about London Tipton too, just hard to find good images of her.

She looks tacky, but not exactly airheaded. For all I know, she just got an Unnecessary Makeover and is just horrified at the result.

10 is not great, but the best suggestion so far.
Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.
I see 3 Asian girls in goofy outfits, but no airhead. 10 at least has a rather dumb expression, which makes her a better fit for the trope.
to 10. She's got the vain part down through fashion. Face and gesture convey diva / Alpha Bitch.
One last try, here's a rare guy example, Jason from The Good Place.

Maybe not absolutely essential, for example Jason could only color coordinate if he’s going to a Jacksonville Jaguars game, and isn’t any more vain than a regular person. But it’s definetly a plus considering it’s the third line in the trope description.
“The idea is this: you have Alice, who is of some East Asian ethnic group or another, usually the princess of an affluent immigrant business (or crime) family (many of the examples are rather specifically Chinese, with a distinctly Chinese last name), Alice is beautiful, photogenic, popular... but she's also vain and petty and dumber than a box of hair.”
My biggest concern with 10 is that it's too tall. Maybe a crop could work. For example:

I did, actually, and that leaves me a little confused of where you see error in my interpretation. I didn't say it was essential, but would be a plus.
Of the two types, the description of the first actually uses the words "vain", "popular" and "petty" , and relates it to the Alpha Bitch, a trope often seen as vain and fashionable among other things. So couple that with the trope entry leading with saying they're rich and fashionable, I'd say "vain and fashionable" relates strongly to the first of the two.
Tang definitely sounds like an Asian name. But due to the show's art style, it's not evident that she's Asian, especially in the photo provided in the OP, where she has her eyes closed.
None of the suggestions so far seem like a good fit for me. But since I don't have a suggestion of my own, I probably don't have much of a horse in this race.
I can kinda infer the concept in 10/19 but I dunno if it's strong enough to work...maybe paired with an airheaded line of dialogue from her as the caption, as is done on The Ditz?
