Style shrinks: Our experts analyse Charlotte Gainsbourg's S&M librarian look
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
Rebecca Gonsalves: Nigella and all at British 'Vogue' take note: this is how to do 'no make-up' make-up.
Mike Higgins: The slightly insane gaze of a woman who has starred in three (three!) Lars von Trier films. Beyond lipstick.
The top
Rebecca: Pushed-up sleeves and a 'Last of The Summer Wine' knit balance out a feminine lace collar in a singularly Rive Gauche way.
Mike: Cut to Alan Bennett's dressing room, where a confused playwright is wondering who on earth pinched his sleeveless woolie-pullie.
The boots
Rebecca: Gainsbourg bagged a total look from Nicolas Ghesquière's debut for Louis Vuitton mere days after the catwalk show – she must be clicking those heels with glee .
Mike: Sorry: no one should sign off a look with a giant pair of half-licked Werther's Originals.
The trousers
Rebecca: Wipe-clean trews are a fitting choice for the 'Nymphomaniac' premiere, but the skin-tight fit means she'll have to pass on the popcorn.
Mike: If the top half is Wallace on dress-down Friday, the bottom is shinier than Gromit's nose. Un coup de vinyl.
