It really depends on what you had in mind when you were thinking "like this"
It's an Irving Berlin song, so yes, people still cover his songs.
If you meant female singers covering Berlin, again, yes.
If you meant songs that run about 90 seconds, that might be pretty rare nowadays.
If you're only interested in great female singers, here's a really short list to start:
(In no particular order)
Jane Monheit
Audra McDonald
Kristin Chenowith
Annaleigh Ashford
Holly Cole
Diana Krall
k d lang
Norah Jones
Really, if you want a quick and easy reference for great female singers, look at recent Tony award winners and nominees. That's the best of Broadway, and those people can absolutely sing.
Or female jazz singers.
If you mean women who sound like Julie London, probably not. Great singers have their own voices and tend not to "sound like" anyone else, because what's the point of that?
Here's a Whitney James version of the same song, but it goes longer

To stray somewhat from the female torch singers ... Ilove me some Tony Bennet
and the fact that he is teaming up with young(er) talent from Carrie Underwood to K.D. Lang, Faith Hill, Lady Gaga and even foreign language speaks to keeping it alive.
Here are a couple of my favorites:
