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
Gemma Hayward: She's not one for drastic hair and make-up changes, this one, but then, if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Dark roots and a big pink pout are obviously a winning combination. Hugh montgomery: Dunst's complexion exemplifies why she has been our preferred starlet through thick, thin and Wimbledon: ambiguously perched between peachy/ all American and pale/ interesting. There's depth beneath those dimples.
The jewellery
Gemma: Wisely, Kirsten has stuck to the yellow-and-gold theme with her statement earrings and over-sized ring. Just the right amount of bling.
Hugh: The measure of bling provided by these bejewelled gold drop earrings and ring is just the thing for an ensemble that, like a comedian at a Hollywood awards ceremony, makes a virtue of its brashness.
The bag
Gemma: Imagine if this had been gold, too? Horrific! But throw black in the mix and the look is instantly sophisticated.
Hugh: Is it just us or does this blockish clutch have something of the 1980s wine bar about it? Not that we don't love it as assuredly as our 12-inch of "Smooth Operator".
The suit
Gemma: Not many could pull off this Stella McCartney jacket in "Big Bird" yellow, but teamed with some embroidered gold Rodarte trousers and a blouse, it's a simple yet striking outfit.
Hugh: There's more to Dunst's cosmopolitan credentials than a saunter down the Croisette, as evidenced by the über-boho-frump-chic of an oufit equally in hock to Diane Keaton and Pat Butcher.
