The Most Crazy Awesome Hats from the Royal Ascot Races

Our fascination with fascinators may have started with the Royal Wedding, but we don't see it ending any time soon (especially not with the imminent Royal Birth--do you think the baby will be born wearing a tiny hat?). So it naturally follows that we love a good horse race, and lucky for us, the Royal Ascot races are in full swing.

Plus sized model Candice Huffine covers Spain's S Moda Magazine, and of course, she hasn't got a stitch of clothing on. I guess we can add 'naked plus sized model' to the list of de riguer fashion tropes like jumping models and Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoots. {Fashion Foie Gras} Elza Luijendijk stars in Versace's Fall 2012 Campaign, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. {WWD subscription required} Ari Seth Cohen's Advanced Style coffee table book launched today! {SheFinds}

Kristen Stewart covers Elle's June issue and swears up a storm in the accompanying article. She poses with herself dressed as a man for the editorial, and we have to say, she's one hot dude. {ONTD} Giorgio Armani, who will turn 78 in July, is reportedly creating a foundation that will ensure total control over the future of his brand. It all sounds very secretive and James Bond-esque, and of course, Armani reps won't comment. {WWD} Here's one sure-fire way to brighten your Monday: J.Crew's colorful collaboration with CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runners up Creatures of the Wind launches today. {SheFinds} Opening Ceremony will debut a magazine this August called OC Annual.

Fashion News Roundup: Marni and H&M Created a Charity Tee, Brad Goreski Didn't Get a Thank You Card from Rachel Zoe, and Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Got Engaged

Marni and H&M's Charity Tee Will Benefit Japan: We'll have to wait another two months to shop the hotly anticipated H&M/Marni collaboration, but here's a peek at a charity tee that'll be included in the collection. Twenty-five percent of the hand-drawn t-shirt's proceeds will benefit the Red Cross in Japan, which is still struggling to cope with the aftermath of last year's massively destructive tsunami. The only thing better than giving to charity is giving to charity and getting a cute new tee in the process! {Telegraph} The Queen to Display Diamonds, Make Us Feel Really Poor: Turns out there's more than one Liz with diamonds to spare: To celebrate her 60th year on the British throne (and possibly to brag a little), Queen Elizabeth II will put a large collection of diamond jewelry and other precious monarchy jewels on display at Buckingham Palace. “Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration,” will open to the public in August. {WWD} Brad Goreski Says Rachel Zoe Doesn't Send Thank You Cards: Our beloved Brad may have his own show now, but he still doesn't seem to have the Rachel Zoe stamp of approval. Recently he told Wendy Williams that he never received a thank you card for the Hermes baby gift he sent the sent his former employer. Poor B... I'm sure RZ just has been waiting for some stationary from that rumored home collection. {Styleite}

So as the big day draws near, here's a look at what you can expect everyone else to be wearing.
