Observations: The top parties of 2008
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.1. He even makes a sling look cool: Daniel Craig and Satsuki Mitchell attend the Quantum of Solace party at Battersea Power Station.
2. The Booker Prize jury put on a united front at the Guildhall ceremony. Look, Hardeep Singh Kohli has matched his turban to Louise Doughty's bra.
3. Tracey Emin and Julian Schnabel were among the arterati at the opening of the new Saatchi gallery. The only man missing was Charles himself.
4. The ever shy and retiring Grayson Perry finds that this year's Turner Prize bash at Tate Britain is not quite to his particular taste.
5. "You're my beshtesht friend..." This Is England director Shane Meadows and his producer Mark Herbert do some sterling "networking" at the London Film Festival.
6. The Serpentine Party, where art, couture and hedge funds mingle. Here, hostess and Abramovich squeeze Dasha Zhukova meets starchitect Lord Rogers.
7. Alice Dellal: winner of this year's professional party animal award.
8. Best Newcomer Adele is initiated, blinking, into the limelight by drag DJ Jodie Harsh at the Brit Awards party. With a mentor like that what could possibly go wrong?
