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 jewellery

Rebecca Gonsalves: There's a lovely pair of earrings behind those tousled tendrils, which knocks the contrast between creamy complexion and super sparkly stuff a bit off balance.

Mike Higgins: I think their colour matches her clutch. But they're discreet to the point of redundancy.

The hair

Rebecca: Do not adjust your set: one of the best-known redheads is nothing of the sort. These lighter tresses are the acting equivalent of a post-break-up hair chop.

Mike: A natural blonde, in fact – and with those eyes and that figure, a Monroe biopic surely beckons.

The dress

Rebecca: This dress invites Jessica Rabbit comparisons, and it's a close call between the (strawberry) blonde and the bunny-lover over who wore it better.

Mike: A fair point. But a decade being compared to a cartoon character must grate…

The shoes

Rebecca: These are definitely dancing shoes – the high-shine metallic finish will look great when tripping the light fantastic.

Mike: It's mostly soft, flowing lines, this outfit, then – bam! – 'Cower before me, mortals.'
