Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

The glasses

Rebecca Gonsalves: As a stylish specs wearer myself (I like to think, anyway), it's great to see some being worn on the red carpet.

Mike Higgins: Keaton has long dodged the Hollywood surgeon's knife. These Harry Palmer-esque specs give her face all the oomph it needs.

The shirt

Rebecca: Buttoned-up doesn't have to be boring. A crisply starched collar will ward off any over-zealous air conditioning – sensible and sexy.

Mike: 'Businesslike but fun!' is a banned look, surely… but this wing-tip collar manages it.

The jacket

Rebecca: Gingham isn't just for the prairie; sharp lines and a feminine fit make this interesting without being too 'out there'.

Mike: It's 'funky headmistress', this jacket; the entire look, in fact – best of all, though, is Keaton's grin.

The socks

Rebecca: This takes the black-and-white theme too far – the last person to pull off white socks was Michael Jackson.

Mike: Would you, like Madonna, buy a $6m house from a woman who likes bobby-socks? Hell, why not…
