"I can come to only one possible conclusion to explain the army of bold, daring outfits at last night&amp;#39;s Gotham Independent Film Awards: prior to getting dressed, all my favorite actresses texted each other saying &amp;quot;Wear something crazy and fun. We&amp;#39;ll overwhelm the paparazzi--do it!&amp;quot; I mean, what else could explain the floral mini dresses in November, and the menswear suit on Blair Waldorf?\nPinterestFacebookNEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 29: Actress Leighton Meester attends IFP&amp;#39;s 20th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani, Wall Street on November 29, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Andrew H. Walker/FilmMagic)\nPHOTO: FilmMagicOkay, Leighton Meester&amp;#39;s been trying some bold looks lately, so maybe this one&amp;#39;s not so shocking. Still, it&amp;#39;s a pretty big statement from a star whose red carpet looks are usually at the very least feminine--if not va-va-voom sexy.\nPinterestFacebookNEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 29: Actress Winona Ryder attends IFP&amp;#39;s 20th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani, Wall Street on November 29, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Stephen Lovekin/WireImage)\nPHOTO: WireImageMeanwhile, Winona Ryder went the entirely opposite route from Leighton, in a super feminine dress that was very full-skirted, to say the least. Personally, I love it, but just have one question- how did she sit down in that?\nPinterestFacebookNEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 29: Actress Anne Hathaway attends IFP&amp;#39;s 20th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani, Wall Street on November 29, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Andrew H. Walker/FilmMagic)\nPHOTO: FilmMagicIn contrast to Winona&amp;#39;s dramatic black dress, Anne Hathaway kept it cheery and simple, giving winter florals a test run on the red carpet. Seeing her in this, I almost forgot it&amp;#39;s November!\nPinterestFacebookNEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 29: Actress Amanda Peet attends IFP&amp;#39;s 20th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani, Wall Street on November 29, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Andrew H. Walker/FilmMagic)\nPHOTO: FilmMagicBut Amanda Peet might&amp;#39;ve had the most interesting look of all--a long gown that was sheer from the knees down (and seemed somewhat western--or is that just me?), and then topped with a simple blazer. It wasn&amp;#39;t a full commitment to one look (like Leighton&amp;#39;s suit and Winona&amp;#39;s princess dress), but instead, a mix of different elements.\nSo who pulled off her bold look, and who...well...didn&amp;#39;t?
