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 make-up

Rebecca Gonsalves: Rosie was first in line when God handed out cheekbones – this is why it pays to be punctual.

Mike Higgins: What, no yellow-and-black false eyelashes? If your outfit is 'funky humbug', then I think you're obliged to carry it through to its alarming conclusion.

The hair

Rebecca: Super sleek. It doesn't detract from the rest of the ensemble – though short of wearing roadkill on your head, nothing really could…

Mike: 'Sporty', you might say – and suggestions, please, as to what sport this kit might suit.

The jumpsuit

Rebecca: If a 5ft 9in supermodel can't pull off a jaundice-yellow striped halterneck catsuit, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Mike: Only 22 people in the universe have the paperwork to wear this; outside strict 1970s fancy-dress parameters, on no account attempt to emulate at home.

The shoes

Rebecca: What shoes? These trousers are so long she could be standing on blocks of wood for all we know.

Mike: Nothing to add here. So I'll refloat my observation that R H-W and partner Jason Statham look oddly alike – you see it now, don't you? Don't you?
