Style shrinks: Our experts analyse Johnny Depp's wild (West) premiere 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.

Gemma Hayward: He looks like a deranged cowboy, but it's good to see he's taking the global traveller trend seriously.
Hugh Montgomery: You'd think this is par-for-the-kook, but research reveals his next film is The Lone Ranger. He's not just high cheekbones and WEIRD vocal INFLECTIONS, y'know.
The jacket/waistcoat
Gemma: The waistcoat is straight out of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, while the jacket is pure The Wild One. The end result is perhaps best described as charmingly eclectic. Hugh: Or, less cine-literately, "sophisticated Hells Angel meets early-period Boyzone". And hurrah for that.
The trousers/shoes
Gemma: Johnny's black jeans look like they would be more at home at the school gates – not to mention on a woman. As for the boots... he's the real, cattle-rustling deal. Not.
Hugh: Ah, now here is a look we are all too familiar with: skew-whiff belt, flayed boots and jeans whose errant crotch-bulge leaves others wondering, "Are you happy to see me or did you just go to H&M?"
The accessories
Gemma: Johnny's look is so heavily accessorised he might be mistaken for a walking, talking market stall. Two, three, or maybe even four for the price of one. Lovely jubbly.
Hugh: WARNING: wearing enough tat to create your own BBC1 daytime show should only be attempted by those in possession of a co-ordinate amount of extreme public goodwill.
