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 red carpet for this year’s Bafta film awards is more low-key than we are used to.

Nominees will have to show off their fashion at home, but presenters were still able to walk the red carpet in London.

For those appearing in person at the Royal Albert Hall it was a chance to bring it in the style stakes – and these are some of the glitziest red carpet moments…

The metallics

Cynthia Erivo brought her signature glamour to the red carpet, choosing a gold and silver Louis Vuitton minidress with intricate, armour-like detailing.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s silver mid-length dress oozed Hollywood glamour, topped off with berry lips and a sleek updo.

The monochromes

Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor’s outfit was something her character Daphne would be proud of: an asymmetric black gown with a puff sleeve and fishtail skirt.

Sophie Cookson gave her velvet black gown an edge with sparkling blue shoulder accents.

The suits

After hosting the first evening of Bafta celebrations on Saturday, Clara Amfo took to the red carpet in an understated black suit accented with subtle fringing.

Bafta chief executive Amanda Berry kept things simple and elegant in a shiny emerald tailored suit.

The pops of colour

Before walking the red carpet, Priyanka Chopra Jonas revealed her first outfit on Instagram: a sleek black gown with Eighties power shoulders and colourful butterflies exploding from the mid-section, by Dutch fashion designer Ronald Van Der Kemp.

She walked the red carpet with husband Nick Jonas bringing a pop of colour in a pink embroidered top and white harem trousers.

Celeste’s look was all about Gothic glamour to perform her track Hear My Voice from best film nominee The Trial Of The Chicago 7, wearing a teal dress with puff sleeves, built-in gloves, fringed skirt and black detailing.
