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

Rebecca Gonsalves: Peroxide ringlets, alabaster skin and rouged lips recall her Blonde Ambition heyday – but where's the beauty spot?

Hugh Montgomery: Retro waves and a look of faint uncertainty make for easily the best Madge reinvention this month.

The shoes

Rebecca: Are those platform spats I see? You've got to hand it to Her Madgeness – when she goes for a look she really goes for it.

Hugh: I am christening these "bovver brogues". Message: "Don't mess."(As if we needed reminding.)

The outfit

Rebecca: Madonna does Marlene, can it get any more fabulous than that? When you factor in that it's a Tom Ford monkey suit it can.

Hugh: Hang on, strike a pose, Madonna may be attending a screening of her new documentary, but she's only gone and dressed as an Oxford college-drinking society member.

The accessories

Rebecca: While one filigree gold and crystal fingerless glove is a good look, two would obviously be camping it up too far.

Hugh: This glove represents why we love her. Always.
