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 dress
Rebecca Gonsalves: It's brave to go simple when everyone else is trussed up like a Christmas turkey. The mirrored details will have captivated the narcissists.
Mike Higgins: Ah yes, the GQ Awards, where chaps are chaps and ladies are lay-deez. This, by comparison, is positively ascetic.
The hair
Rebecca: Artfully mussed – the red-carpet ponytail is a world away from the "haven't washed it in three days, pass the dry shampoo" style that most mere mortals manage.
Mike: I had a red-hair ponytail once. Enough said. But who needs a do with cheekbones like these?
The jewellery
Rebecca: Thanks to those supersize disco sequins, jewellery is basically built into Stone's dress, so a low-key bracelet is the perfect finishing touch.
Mike: A sparkly bit of punctuation on Lara's impressively Amazonian arm.
The shoes
Rebecca: Fashion's a funny thing: many shoes are so ugly they're beautiful, but these are too boring to tick either box.
Mike: I've got it: David Walliams dared her to dress in one minute, and she only had five seconds to choose her shoes.
