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.

The 2014 Primetime Emmy awards took place last night in Los Angeles celebrating the best in television.

The stars were out in force, but regardless of who won what, it's the winners and losers of the annual red carpet event that we're more concerned with.

The overwhelming trend of the night was red dresses. Stars opting for various shades of red with the likes of January Jones, Heidi Klum and Claire Danes choosing gowns in colours from from tomato red to tangerine orange.

White was also a popular choice with Kristen Wigg, Lucy Liu, Julianne Hough and Sofia Vegara all choosing pale gowns.

Julia Roberts was the only star who eschewed the floor length gown dress code, instead opting for a shorter embellished number.

See our roundup here of who wore what:

Best dressed awards go to January Jones in a red Prabal Gurung ball gown and Michelle Monaghan in a simple white Giambattista Valli gown.

Misses of the night included Lena Dunham whose mammoth ball gown drowned her frame and Katherine Heigl who chose a dress more suited for a woman twice her age.
