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
Rebecca Gonsalves: The pixie may be the cut of the moment, but this cropped-and-curly style is so much more interesting.
Hugh Montgomery: An awards sweep that deserves applause.
The suit
Rebecca: It's slightly odd that trousers are still a controversial choice for the red carpet – especially when they look this good. The pewter shade is suitably ritzy but not too glitzy.
Hugh: Marlene Dietrich meets David Bowie: now, how's that for a combo?
The cummerbund
Rebecca: This cummerbund-cum-apron not only adds an interesting detail, it enables discreet trouser-button undoing if the fancy dinner is too filling.
Hugh: Surplus to requirements… we love it.
The shoes
Rebecca: The ankle straps don't seem necessary, especially with this trouser length, but the scarlet shade and pointed toe are spot on.
Hugh: Altogether, it's like a red-carpet outfit on Red Bull. In the best way, that is.
