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.

These are what a goddess would wear - the goddess of glamour. They're seductive, grown-up and glamorous, with, tantalisingly, that alluring hint of dishevelment. But these dresses aren't for everybody; they're once-in-a-lifetime creations for the kind of woman who slinks rather than walks and who's happier on a chaise longue than on a chair. Mere mortals may as well give up.

Mushroom bias-cut dress, by John Galliano, pounds 945, at Joseph, 23 Old Bond Street, London, W1 and 77 Fulham Road, London SW3 (inquiries: 0171 629 4774).
