Clear your throats and help me sing happy birthday to one of our favorite supermodels Gisele Bundchen, who turns 28 today. The Brazilian is an amazing chameleon — from doe-eyed model to world-famous sexy supermodel — and we can't wait to see what fierceness she'll bring in this next year of life. May you have a happy, healthy, and fashionable year Gisele!
Go Maggie. This week's Fab favorite was decided earlier in the week when I saw this beauty in this Dries Van Noten beauty at The Dark Knight premiere. And yes, I've already seen the movie and it is a-mazing. Maggie and Dries are a great match. They are both unconventional and beautiful in their unique way, oh, and wonderfully experimental. Like Maggie just claimed, she cares what the media thinks about the way she dresses, and I only have praise. If you're listening Maggie: well done!
The simple, draped silhouette of this black strapless dress is set off by the asymmetrical fiery floral print. I can't help but admire her in front of the blazing The Dark Knight poster; it's too good. She pulled her hair up and wore her signature red lips. Her gold jewelry is not to be forgotten; modern and funky. I strained my eyes to get a better look at her shoes as they're not plain, they appear to be Dries, too.

They have signature and couture styles, as well as camisoles and panties. If you've got it — itty bittys, that is — flaunt it!
Transformation — Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore is all about flower power. After famously rebounding from her troubled teens, the former child star took on Hollywood with daisies in her hair and a dreamy demeanor. "We as girls have that Cinderella fantasy of dress-up," she has said. "So whenever you get the opportunity to have people make your face up and do your hair and put you in an outfit, it's a fantasy."
When there's salt, there's pepper. Hot and cold. Light and dark. You catch my drift. In fashion, we are always presented with another side of the coin. If Ice Ice Baby isn't your tune, try watching Tales From the Dark Side.
Some of these designers always cater to the dark lords of fashion — London's Gareth Pugh, Givenchy's Ricardo Tisci. A few just felt like dipping in murky waters for Fall: Julien Macdonald's dark glam rockin' looks and Gucci's fabulous folky getups. Meanwhile, Alexander Wang is proving to be the connoisseur of downtown (dis)taste. But no one told a tall tale like Ann Demeulemeester and her posh tatterdemalions (left).

Color experimentation is a wonderful thing so if you haven't tried it yet, let Becki Newton guide you. In fact, it's all about inspiration — doesn't this look remind you of Cameron Diaz's fuchsia/turquoise Dior ensemble at The Met's Institute Gala last year? At the TCA All-Star party, Becki wore a purple ruffle dress, but the exciting part is that she accessorized with turquoise and green earrings, and turquoise peep-toe pumps. Pair unexpected hues and let the color experimentation begin!
Q&A With Rihanna
Q: We've had the Meg, the Jennifer, and now people ask for the Rihanna at salons. Will you be switching it up again?
