Style shrinks: Our experts analyse Lena Dunham's Bet Lynch-does-Brooklyn get-up
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 coat
Rebecca Gonsalves: Bet Lynch, eat your heart out. Though I doubt that Weatherfield's finest has the same retro appeal in Brooklyn.
Mike Higgins: Commenting on Lena Dunham's every breathing moment seems to be the point of the web. Whenever she appears, servers crash.
The hair
Rebecca: The beauty of a cross-body bag is that it leaves your hands free to attempt to hide any home-dye disasters.
Mike: Salmon-pink bag and lime-green hair – natty bit of co-ordination, surely?
The dress
Rebecca: Soft gold, silky black, clean lines – this is far more conventional than we're used to from Dunham, but she wears it well.
Mike: A shining example of dressing-up-box chic. But perhaps the-spots-within-spots thing is… a thing.
The shoes
Rebecca: I'm meant to love these because they're Prada, but really I love the OTT combo of gold leather, fringing and chain.
Mike: She's 28 and already dresses like a loopy grande dame of fashion – but what's she going to do when she's, like, 42?
