Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The hair/make-up

Gemma Hayward: Bianca's still rocking a Rolling Stones red lip – and why not when she wears it so well? It just so happens to be an autumn trend, too.

Hugh Montgomery: The assertively swept do, Cruella De Vil eyebrows and slash of lippy are all conspiring to leave us cowering in critical submission, somehow.

The accessories

Gemma: Yet more statements with the classic panther Cavalli cuff and oversized jewel ring. And quite right – this outfit is crying out for a little bit of bling.

Hugh: The flashy bangles perfectly complete a trans-European look straddling the line between Bohemia and the Rivieria.

The outfit

Gemma: Jagger excels where many others fail by making a kaftan look good. And with the striking digital print, she's avoided looking like a Big Top.

Hugh: Jagger likes a cause, and what better than that to cement J-Lo's 2000 palm-print Grammies dress as a historic sartorial touchstone?

The shoes

Gemma: Jewel-encrusted gold slippers complete that starlet look: she looks like she's just stepped off the boat from Capri, rather than out for a night in Salzburg, but one must always look one's best.

Hugh: Trust a Studio 54 icon to push the boat out with an asymmetric foot display.
