Style Shrinks: Our experts analyse Christina Ricci's Goth cheerleader outfit
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
Gemma Hayward: My, hasn't she grown! With this sleek hair and glossy make-up she's actually starting to look like an adult. Is that a hint of a tan I see, too?
Hugh Montgomery: Forget Che Guevara T-shirts: truly there is no greater symbol of counterculture decline than Wednesday Addams with the hair of a Saturday.
The bag
Gemma: Most. Boring. Bag. Ever.
Hugh: And duly it hangs limply from her arm, as unloved as yesterday lunch's used Tupperware.
The dress
Gemma: Shame she's not dressing like an adult, though… Put your midriff away, love – you'll get a chill on your kidneys.
Hugh: Now this is more like it: the costume from an imaginary Goth cheerleading romcom that would have masterfully elided The Craft with Bring it On.
The shoes
Gemma: At just over 5ft, Ms Ricci could do with a little help in the height department, but these are grim.
Hugh: These heels' cartoonish contours lead us to believe they may have been CGI'd in after. Which is one way to keep the legacy of Pan-Am going.
