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 jewellery

Rebecca Gonsalves: Cyrus introduced her 'art' at New York Fashion Week, including this necklace, which seems to be cobbled together from the tat her teenage fans send her.

Mike Higgins: My jewellery knowledge begins and ends with loom bands. So I think her bangles and whatnot look ace.

The hat

Rebecca: While tilting your titfer at a jaunty angle helps style it out around the Christmas dinner table, this pointy party number is beyond redemption.

Mike: Carmen Miranda's precocious cousin is most certainly "a look". Do not, however, hold the front page.

The trousers

Rebecca: Unexplainably ugly trousers which look like they could unravel with a tug of the bow – perhaps for a quick change into twerking mode later.

Mike: Never mind what I think of her trews – what do Plant and Page think of her cover of 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'?

The shoes

Rebecca: I don't know what shoes would go with this pulsating migraine of an ensemble, but this pair of heeled boxing boots isn't the answer.

Mike: A pair of large angry wasps disguised as trainers. But they mean well, I think.
