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: This sleek helmet of hair undoubtedly completes the polished overall look, but a few loose tendrils may have made a more youthful, impression

Hugh Montgomery: So 'hipster today, Hepburn tomorrow'

The dress

Rebecca: This perfectly fitted metallic dress manages to be discreetly flashy rather than trashy

Hugh: So brilliantly shimmery, this makes us want to disco dance

The bag

Rebecca: The ornate gilded pattern ensures this isn't mistaken for an oddly formed appendage from the wrong angle

Hugh: So subtle and delicate, it's less a handbag, more a palm supplement

The shoes

Rebecca: A Sabatier-sharp pointed toe – how to wear a nude heel without looking like Kate Middleton at a wedding

Hugh: Everything is so just-so, in fact, we're a bit concerned: is she secretly an 'SATC' girl at heart?
