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 accessories
Rebecca Gonsalves: A camo-print hat and shades say, "Don't look, I'm shy," but the hefty bling suggests she isn't the retiring type.
Hugh Montgomery: RiRi's reconfigured that Madchester classic, the fisherman's hat, by pairing it with a cameo brooch. Next stop: a honking Euro-rave cover of the Roses' "I am the Resurrection"
The T-shirt/jacket
Rebecca: The plastic pac-a-mac's perfect if you're caught in a shower at Alton Towers, but if things heat up those sleeves will get steamy.
Hugh: We'd favour a more esoteric T-shirt idol than RiRi's choice of Mossie: Felicity Kendal, say, or Jason Statham
The shoes
Rebecca: There's not much to say about a pair of box-fresh Converse. Wonder if she has someone to lace each new pair?
Hugh: Those who decry RiRi as a bad "role model" fail to take into account her endorsement of the wicked Converse
The Shorts
Rebecca: Ms Fenty champions bum-baring shorts over the festival trend for maxi dresses. Fingers crossed denim thongs won't be coming to a field near you.
Hugh: More interested in the candyfloss than the cut-offs, tbh. So glad to see that sweets are the new bags
