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
Rebecca Gonsalves: Dubbed 'hombre' by some clever person, Leto's dip-dyed locks are almost as beautiful as his face.
Hugh Montgomery: If the tedious slog of Oscar campaign season benefited from anything this year, it was Jared Leto's hair.
The bow tie
Rebecca: An oversized red dicky bow is the sort of attire usually favoured by a creepy uncle, but here it looks positively charming.
Hugh: There is no sadder evidence of time's cruel passage than Jordan Catalano turning into Pee Wee Herman.
The trousers/shoes
Rebecca: My what big feet you have, Jared? All the better to dance the night away with Lupita Nyong'o – now there's a winning combination.
Hugh: High-waisted slacks would have finished off the 'quirkily credible actor look' nicely. Just a thought.
The jacket
Rebecca: A white tuxe at a formal event can leave you looking like the help, but the slightly softer shape of this St Laurent number helps.
Hugh: This would have won the night's 'best white tux' award, but for McConaughey. Seriously, does the McConaissance know no bounds?
