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 make-up

Rebecca Gonsalves: The girl gives great brow – surely those arches should be receiving a best supporting award.

Mike Higgins: When she won her surprise Golden Globe last Sunday, I hear she raised both eyebrows and took out a lighting gantry. I love them.

The hair

Rebecca: Can you hear that? It's the sound of brides-to-be around the world adding this romantic up-do to their Pinterest boards for inspiration.

Mike: Shades of Veronica Lake, no? For the lady is most certainly a vamp.

The jewellery

Rebecca: An eclectic mix of rings shows the actress is keeping it real – although perhaps a bit too 'three for a fiver down Camden Market' real for the red carpet.

Mike: Never mind the rings: this ensemble feels incomplete without a very dry Martini and a very long cigarette.

The dress

Rebecca: The green goddess lives again; a beautiful Prada column is the perfect shade to complement Wilson's gimlet eyes.

Mike: No-nonsense, geometric, sharp, quite 1940s – a film-noir outfit for a femme-fatale gaze.
