What shops, stores, museums, galleries, restaurants, cafes, bars, neighbourhoods, boulevards, and public places are the ultimate favourite haunts amongst the Parisian upper class literati. The French urban sophisticated females with degrees from posh universities, large trust funds and impressive pedigrees would be found mostly hanging out where in or near Paris?

The only place you’ll need to go for that type of atmosphere is Bound. And if you decide to dine there, the ‘tiramisu aux fraises’ is absolutely wonderful.
And I mean sure, you’ll also find people like that on the Avenue Montaigne, or living in the gorgeous townhouses in the 7e or 16e arrondissements.
Hope it helps !

There are a few establishments down the road from the moulin rouge. Probably the best chance of finding them there.

I am not sure that there is as much of an intersection between the literati and impressive pedigrees as your question suggests.
Bit if you mean where does the BCBG crowd hang out then try Bound at 49 Avenue George V in the 8th or Barlotti at 35, place du Marché Saint-Honoré in the 1st.
If you’ll find both those places on map of Paris and draw a line between them you will have found roughly the area you are seeking.
