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: Kristen is a vision of beauty here, and I'm sure that it's no mistake that her skin is as pale as a vampire's. She looks good enough to eat.

Hugh Montgomery: Hair as sweeping as a Russian novel and eyes as smoky as a Russian nightclub. We are not worthy.

The accessories

Gemma: For her next premiere, a clutch bag would be a welcome addition. It will give her something to do with those awkward-looking claw-hands.

Hugh: That's a friendship bracelet on her left wrist, apparently. So why have "friends" yet to inform the Daily Mail what this friendship might be?

The outfit

Gemma: Shocked not to see her usual label of choice Balenciaga – but wearing a rather lovely Louis Vuitton S/S 13 playsuit a whole season before you can buy it? That's just showing off.

Hugh: That she manages to convey glacial hauteur in a shiny romper suit is testament to her ability to elevate the material. (See also near-nocturnal film franchises.)

The shoes

Gemma: Kristen didn't make full use of the French fashion house's generosity; these strappy sandals are not half as remarkable as the matching monochrome winkle-pickers that were worn on the catwalk.

Hugh: Great gladiator heels: get her a young Boadicea biopic forthwith!
