So, yeah, this week is going to be GREAT.
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.
Queen Elizabeth II is getting downright festive in her holiday dress (well, for her, anyway). {HuffPo} Jane Fonda is 75 (!) and credits her youthful looks to good genes...and, okay, a good plastic surgeon. {US Weekly} A new study shows a majority of women prefer 1950s-eqsue men; let's not try to unpack the feminist implications of that and just enjoy looking at Jon Hamm as Don Draper, shall we? {Daily Mail} Andrej Pejic covers Elle Serbia in head to toe Jean Paul Gaultier. {Styleite}

Barneys is teaming up with Disney for their holiday campaign this year. The festivities are going to include a "fashion film" starring designers, editors and other fashion insiders." Sounds magical! {WWD subscription required} Victoria Beckham tweeted a glam pic of herself on the set of a magazine shoot. The Beckhams also revealed who Harper's godmother is.

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}

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.

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...

There's one facet of the royal wedding that has most everyone (and especially us) rapt: Kate Middleton's dress. Who will design it? (No, really, tell us if you know.) Speculation over who will land the coveted commission has reached fever pitch and overshadowed all the other key players. And we thought they deserved a little love. Plus, we know more about what Prince William will wear, and what his grandmother the Queen will wear, and what Kate's sister and maid of honor will wear, than what Kate's wedding dress will look like.
