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
Rebecca Gonsalves: Glossy chestnut curls and delicate make-up counterbalance the blinged-up goth look on show here
Hugh Montgomery: This 1990s soap-star hair is presumably the subconscious result of afternoons in the cot plonked in front of the'Sunset Beach' omnibus
The accessories
Rebecca: Is that a bindi I see before me? Perhaps she's been taking lessons on effortless offence from on-again off-again boyf the Biebs.
Hugh: Or perhaps it's just that the cultural legacy of Gwen Stefani should never be underestimated.
The outfit
Rebecca: Capes were a huge trend on the catwalks for next season, and this gilded cardigan/cape hybrid is a pretty spangly way of getting the look now
Hugh: Flouncy sleeves have special powers. Fact
The shoes
Rebecca: Russell Crowe called – he wants his gladiator boots back.
Hugh: This is the point at which the reinvention of a Disney tween idol comes to an impasse.
