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 jacket

Rebecca Gonsalves: Has he been using the oeuvre of Rihanna as a self-help guide? Why else would he be shining bright like a diamond?

Mike Higgins: A tin-foil bolero jacket would be the eye-catcher in most ensembles – but it's actually toning things down in this outfit.

The hair

Rebecca: Every time I see Tyler's flowing locks and fine bone structure, it's nigh-on impossible to stop 'Dude (Looks Like a Lady)' playing in my head .

Mike: The hair is rampant, as ever – so why bother with the manky moustache and beard?

The trousers

Rebecca: Flares on fellas are set to be a big look again next spring – hopefully this image will kill that trend dead right now.

Mike: Somewhere in Palm Springs, an octogenarian yoga instructor is wondering who pinched her work-out pants.

The shoes

Rebecca: A hybrid between a Dutch clog and a carpet slipper, giving the impression that his toes have been lopped off.

Mike: Grippingly awful. What Tyler is saying here is, should 'Doctor Who' ever get an American spin-off, look me up, baby!
