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 hat/glasses
Gemma Hayward: The black hat and oversized sunglasses don't go hand in hand with a sunny day. But I couldn't imagine Paris without her shades, and that headgear sets her "I'm pretending I don't want you to look at me" pose off perfectly.
Hugh Montgomery: The sun has got his hat on, and ain't Paris doing her damnedest to outshine that little blighter with a chapeau that suggests Morticia Addams congregating with the Stepford wives.
The bag
Gemma: How is her Chihuahua meant to be comfy in a bag like this? It's far too deep for it to comfortably stick its head out for some fresh air. Selfish bag choice, Paris.
Hugh: The queen of handbag dogs opts for a handbag embossed with a drawing of a handbag dog? An ironic comment on celebrity pet commodification or totally cute? As ever, her creative objectives remain opaque.
The shoes
Gemma: It's all a bit safe and matchy-matchy, isn't it? Not at all like the Paris we've learnt to love/loathe (delete as appropriate).
Hugh: When we say that these heels look "practical", that's mostly relative to the time Paris conducted her community service in a pair of four-inch Louboutins.
The dress
Gemma: Paris looks quite cute in this red floral tea dress – I'd even go so far as to say she looks respectable. Oh, how a stint in the slammer can affect one's style...
Hugh: She's an award-winning humanitarian and looks fabulous in red floral prints. We look at this and wonder when someone will put two and four together and wangle her for a Remembrance Day PA?
