Former Urban Outfitters CEO Took a Pile of Cash When He Left: Glen Senk left Urban Outfitters without collecting his bonus, but he definitely didn’t walk away empty-handed. Along with his $942,000 salary, WWD reports that Senk received a “$5,000 bonus, $3,000 in other compensation and $1.6 million in option awards.” {WWD subscription required}

Franca Sozzani Talks Anorexia and Fashion at Harvard: The editrix talked to Harvard students about the unfortunate role fashion plays in promoting the ideal of extreme thinness, and how it contributes to the anorexia epidemic seen in young women (and men) in several first-world societies. She says, “Why the age of supermodels, who were beautiful and womanly, slowly started decreasing and we now have still undeveloped adolescents with no sign of curves? Why is this considered beautiful?” Franca failed, however, to comment on the fact that these same “undeveloped adolescents” are prominently featured in her magazine from month to month. {Vogue.it}

Claire Danes, Sofia Vergara, Michelle Dockery and Julianna Margulies Are Naked in Bed on Vanity Fair: Vanity Fair features the first ladies of primetime television in May’s “Special TV Issue.” They look mighty comfy in those silk sheets. {TFS}

Fashion News Roundup: Take A Class on Beyoncé at Rutgers, French Elle Removes Offensive ‘Black Fashion’ Article, and Does LVMH Have a Heart?

by

Rutgers to Offer Course on Beyoncé: Now here’s a class we wouldn’t have regularly skipped when we were undergrads: a Rutger’s University professor is teaching a course on the significance of Beyoncé Knowles in regards to black feminism, studying her lyrics against the works of historical black female figures like Alice Walker and Sojourner Truth. Her husband, Jay-Z also has a course on him offered at Georgetown University. Next up: A seminar at Wesleyan examining how Blue Ivy Carter paved the way for infant musicians. {Sister 2 Sister}

Megan Fox Will Not Play Elizabeth Taylor: The actress took to Facebook to deny claims that she is in talks with Lifetime producers to play Elizabeth Taylor for their upcoming biopic, Liz and Dick. Looks like Lindsay Lohan might soon be getting some much-needed work after all! {ONTD}

ELLE France Removes Controversial Black Fashion Article: After facing much public scrutiny, ELLE France has removed their ‘Black Fashion Power’ article, which credited the Obamas for finally influencing black people to retire their Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur and “[return] to style with a sense of dignity.” ELLE‘s editor claims the article was “misinterpreted” (there seems to be a lot of that going around these days), but we’re pretty sure we got what author Nathalie Dolvio was trying to say the first time. {The Cut}

Fascinators Banned from June’s Royal Ascot: The Royal Ascot in Britain is cracking down on fascinators, cleavage, and, well… crack. A new, more clearly stated dress code is now officially in place for the event in an effort to swing it from chavy to classy: Strapless tops and above-the-knee hems are banned. Fancy fascinators will only be allowed in the grandstand areas; whereas the royal enclosure (aka the big boy seats) will allow only hats and headpieces that cover at least 4″ of the head at the base. Look out for K-Mid sporting the latest fad, hat-hair. {Fashion Foie Gras}

Justin Bieber Goes Brunette: Speaking of Duchess Kate: Clearly the latest casualty of the “Kate Middleton Effect,” baby Biebs has hit the brunette bottle. Now he’ll definitely be taken more seriously as an artist. Definitely. {US Weekly}

Just How Does Sarah Jaxheimer Do It? She has a cool group of friends, her hair is always shiny and awesome, and she dated the boy Taylor Swift crushed on in junior high. Check out Pop Dust’s exclusive and insanely hilarious interview with the elusive Sarah Jax, who may or may not be the mean girl in all of Swifty’s sad songs. {Pop Dust}

Lea Michele is the New Face of Candie’s: Rachel Berry is set to succeed Vanessa “Baby V” Hudgens as the latest Candie’s girl. We get that both girls have starred in televised series about high school students bursting into song, but can you really picture the divalicious Ms. Michele accessorizing her Marchesa gowns with a pair of Candie’s? Precisely. {E!}

Man Gets an Andrej Pejic Tattoo, the Permanent Kind: Someone will be walking around for the rest of his life with this tattoo of androgynous angel Andrej Pejic. The new definition of ‘timeless fashion’? {Refinery 29}

The collections will be available at Kitson and Macy’s, respectively, this spring. Unfortunately, Monopoly money will not be accepted as a payment form. {WWD}

Christina Aguilera Covers February’s Marie Claire: …and doesn’t give a damn what you think about her body! She tells the glossy, “I’ve been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It’s noise I block out automatically. I love my body. My boyfriend loooves my body. My son is healthy and happy, so that’s all that matters to me.” Let ‘em know Ms. Aguilera! {Marie Claire}

Blue Ivy Carter is Jay-Z’s “Glory”: You are most certainly a robot if you don’t shed a tear to this track by doting father Jay-Z, telling the story of his new daughter’s arrival, ending with a sample of her first cries. We’re getting a little misty just talking about it! {Hello Beautiful}

Babyoncé Is Here! So What Should Baby Blue Ivy Wear?

by

By now, you’ve probably heard that everyone’s favorite couple, Beyonce and Jay-Z, welcomed baby girl Blue Ivy into the world this Saturday. And while theories abound over where the name Blue Ivy originates from (is Blue a reference to Jay-z’s hit album Blueprint? Is Ivy a riff on the couple’s favorite number four–IV in Roman numerals?) one thing is for sure: This baby is going to be one well-dressed tot.

We already know that Bey and Jay are sparing no expense when it comes to their offspring (the two reportedly spent $1.3 million to rent out the entire fourth floor of the NYC hospital where Beyonce gave birth), so we can only imagine what the pair will spend on little Blue’s wardrobe!

From a $3600 Hermes blanket to a silver Tiffany brush, read on to find out our blinged out designer picks for Blue Ivy.

P.S. Is it bad that we’re already jealous of a baby’s closet?
