Fashion’s no longer on the menu.
A judge scolded accused serial dine-and-dash diva Pei Chung as she traded her designer duds for prison scrubs in Brooklyn court Wednesday.
Dressed in a drab olive-colored jail uniform, Chung, 34 — who allegedly skipped out on at least eight restaurant bills in a month — repeatedly interrupted Judge Orville Reynolds during her Brooklyn criminal court hearing.
“When I speak you don’t speak! Understand?!” Reynolds finally snapped.
“That is not correct,” Chung replied, inexplicably.
The Prada-loving wannabe influencer — who previously posted photos of herself decked out in furs and high-end Louis Vuitton and Hermes accessories — looked disheveled in handcuffs as she stood next to her attorney.
During the hearing, Chung’s lawyer, Henry Dechalus, asked the judge to forbid photography in the courtroom.
“Your honor, I have spoken to my client and she feels that it would violate her rights to allow the media to sell images of her,” Dechalus said.
But the judge allowed photography, citing public interest in the case.
On Nov. 26, Chung was ordered to undergo a psych evaluation after her lawyer claimed she can’t understand the charges against her.
Chung has had the cops called on her at least 10 times for dine-and-dashing, including at trendy Big Apple eateries such as Francie, Lavender Lake, Motorino and Peter Luger, according to police.
The couture-sporting cheapskate is also accused of pulling the stunt at Mole Mexican Bar and Grill in Williamsburg, where she allegedly ordered $149 and tried to leave without paying.
She was charged with theft-of-services and sent to Rikers Island.
