Thanks to the 18th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards, we got a glimpse of five sleek red carpet looks. Penelope Cruz turned out in a sophisticated and demure Lanvin look. Rachel Weisz went for asymmetrical stripes in Narciso Rodriguez. Amy Adams looked perky in Carolina Herrera. Evan Rachel Wood lightened her mood in a champagne colored silky dress. And Michelle Williams stayed in black territory with a Balenciaga LBD. All put forth the effort, but which Gotham Indie Film Awards look is most Fab?

FABTV: MGMT "Kids"

So here's the thing: I've wanted to share this song with you for months.

So here's the thing: I've wanted to share this song with you for months. MGMT is one of my favorite new bands of the year. The fashion set loves them too — they've performed at numerous fashion events. "Kids" is by far my favorite song of theirs, I can listen to it over and over. But, I don't love the video. Alas, sometimes an epic song doesn't need a flashy video. I mean, the video's not horrible. The random dance clips are funny at times, I like the synchronized swimming bit, and didn't I hear a rumor the guys in the video with painted faces aren't actually the MGMT dudes? I have yet to see MGMT live — ugh — but rumors aside, this song is on my 2008 mix CD.

Who Wore It Better? Asymmetrical Preen LBD

With such a downright fabulous dress, it's no wonder that two celebrities have already been all over it.

With such a downright fabulous dress, it's no wonder that two celebrities have already been all over it. Mandy Moore was a Fab favorite in her asymmetrical Preen LBD when she wore it in October. She looked classy with a hint of sultry. Her accessories included a silver clutch and black pumps. Cindy Crawford wore the same dress while out on the town in London this week. Someone had a good time! She wore pointier black pumps and opted for a sparkly black clutch. There's no denying that both ladies look smokin', but who wore it better?
