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 coat

Rebecca Gonsalves: A blush silk raincoat would be ruined if there was any chance of a shower – perhaps not the wisest choice of outerwear in Blighty.

Mike Higgins: If she wants to look like a cranky, 75-year-old Upper East Sider, she's convincing no one.

The shades

Rebecca: Those rose-tinted specs look strangely familiar – is it an homage to her pal Elton John, or did she 'borrow' them from his vast eyewear collection?

Mike: They're a bit Andy Warhol, too. But look at that lovely toothy grin. Aaah, Kylie.

The accessories

Rebecca: A bag, scarf and shades no longer suffice – a bouquet of perfect blooms is the new must-have.

Mike: She's drowning in peach-toned bit-bobbery. That handbag adds some needed oomph.

The jeans

Rebecca: The coat and scarf conspire to make her legs look positively stumpy. We've all seen her in hotpants, though, so can testify that that's not the case.

Mike: Please tell me that underneath it all she's wearing a pair of Charlene's dungarees.
