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.

Mel B appeared to take a swipe at her former Spice Girls bandmate Victoria Beckham, by dressing up as Posh Spice for Halloween.

The singer, who was known as Scary Spice during her time in the group, and whose real name is Melanie Brown, wore a Posh Spice mask, red heels, and the little black dress that has become synonymous with Victoria Beckham.

Mel B also carried an “axe” which bore the words: “No I am not going on tour,” in an apparent reference to early reports that the original members of Spice Girls, with the exception of Posh Spice, would reunite for live shows this year.

She was accompanied by her friend – hairdresser Gary Madatyan – who dressed up as Victoria’s husband David Beckham in an LA Galaxy football shirt, blonde hair and sunglasses. Madatyan had a sign which read: “Please please please do it for the Spice fans.”

The pair were attending the annual Halloween party thrown by model Heidi Klum in New York. Klum herself attracted praise for her extravagant transformation into Fiona from the film Shrek.

Black Panther star Lupita Nyong’o attended as the character Dionne Davenport – complete with a Nineties-era brick mobile phone – from the 1990s classic film Clueless.
