Fashion News Roundup: Fascinators and Mini Skirts Get Banned from Royal Ascot, J.Crew’s CEO Mickey Drexler Doesn’t Like Shopping Malls, and Taylor Swift’s Frenemy Speaks Now

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}

Sofia Vergara Wants You to Look Sexy at the Supermarket in Her New Line for Kmart

Sofia Vergara Wants You to Look Sexy at the Supermarket in Her New Line for Kmart

While looking ridiculously hot in her $29 Sofia by Sofia Vergara skinny jeans, the actress/Cover Girl model/designer introduced her new Kmart collaboration in the penthouse of the swanky Cooper Square Hotel on Thursday. While we should have realized that the Emmy nominated Modern Family star would be modeling her own designs, the whole room full of fashion writers still seemed pretty blown away when she pointed out that she was wearing — no, totally rocking — inexpensive denim of her own design. And, damn, if a pair of those can make someone look like that, then put us on the waiting list.

Collaborations are the new black these days — from Jennifer Lopez and Kohls to Alexa Chung for Madewell — so how did Vergara decide on her retail partner?
