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.

Gemma Hayward: Loving the hair swept up off her face but all that slap isn't necessary on such a babe. Her lids look heavy and the outfit-matching lipstick just doesn't work when stripes are involved.
Hugh Montgomery: Grooming with intent: the kind that says "rumour-sphere, get thee talking about me fronting a new Simon Cowell show now!"
The outfit
Gemma: She looks like a slutty Freddy Krueger. I like it!
Hugh: We avoid crop tops ourselves, but in this case, as the Mail points out, it does show off "her admirable flat stomach" – and who are we to question their appraisal of abdominal achievement?
The bag
Gemma: She's gone for quite a ladylike bag for such a sassy outfit. An oversized clutch would have made a far bigger fashion statement.
Hugh: Whether from Chanel or from a market stall next to one selling nodding British bulldogs, a leather quilted chain bag is basically infallible.
The shoes
Gemma: I'm a sucker for a pointed court shoe, so in my opinion she couldn't have made a better choice.
Hugh: These are fine, but maybe she could have plumped for something rather more stompy to continue the Dennis the Menace theme.
