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: A healthy flush, berry-bitten lips, sparkling eyes and loosely pinned-back hair – even with low-key primping she is ruddy gorgeous.

Hugh Montgomery: Given that she has recently completed work on a Lars von Trier movie, we can only assume her apparent serenity is a trick.

The top

Rebecca: Uma darling, champagne is for drinking, not for deflated pussy-bow blouses. A prim cardigan takes the fizz out even further.

Hugh: A statement look – the statement being that she's dying for a role in a Joanna Trollope adaptation.

The shoes

Rebecca: This get-up is perfect parents' evening fodder, and a demure yet sultry pair of kitten-heeled slingbacks are the finishing touch.

Hugh: Almost as stumped by trying to say something about these as we are trying to think of Uma's last decent movie.

The skirt

Rebecca: It's a bit Victorian to come over all aflutter over an ankle, but when it's as well-turned as this…

Hugh: The most sensible thing since soya-and-linseed bread.
