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 HAT

Rebecca Gonsalves: I thought William Hague killed off the baseball cap's cool in 1997, but perhaps it's time for a resurrection.

Hugh Montgomery: But the backward cap is so obviously cooly uncool that it's actually just uncool. You know.

THE OUTFIT

Rebecca: A bomber is a wise investment, and this one's orange lining means it can be reversed for a quick Halloween pumpkin costume, too.

Hugh: She could do interpretative dance in this. (Which might be better than her interpretative Elton John.)

THE BAG

Rebecca: As the sort of person who packs everything but the kitchen sink, travelling with just one handbag is an impressively chic feat. Hugh: And only half-full! Is there a music exec somewhere contending with Ryanair baggage charges?

THE SHOES

Rebecca: Even the most slovenly of stars would seem athletic in super-cool silver sneakers – good for dazzling the waiting paps, too.

Hugh: Great, though given that we run in retro (read second-hand/knee-destroying) Adidas, it don't take much to impress us.
