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 make-up
Rebecca Gonsalves: It's not easy to pull off this natural, sun-kissed look, but being mesmerisingly pretty sure does help.
Mike Higgins: Such fripperies as 'mesmerising prettiness' will not divert my steely gaze from those lips, those eyes… Sorry, where was I?
The hair
Rebecca: A subtle flick and just the right amount of volume make this an inspiring do – will we see a generation of women ask their hairdresser for 'the Gemma'?
Mike Higgins: Impressively uni-directional. But do people really ask for a haircut by celeb name? Like, really really?
The outfit
Rebecca: Oh dear, from the neck up Arterton looks amazing, but this skirt should have been left to its duty as a lampshade.
Mike: The hemlines are a bit blunt, aren't they, after that lovely hairstyle. And quite revealing. But I repeat: 'steely gaze'…
The shoes
Rebecca: Am I the only one who thinks that ribbon-tied shoes make the wearer look like they're offering their feet as a gift of some sort? Really, they shouldn't have.
Mike: If you type 'Gemma Arterton' into Google, the first auto-suggested search term to pop up is 'feet'. Hmm.
