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 MTV Video Music Awards are nothing if not a masterclass in artistic prowess.

Rewarding some of the industry's most esteemed talents, with Camila Cabello and Cardi B taking home some of the most prestigious awards, the ceremony provides an opportunity for stars to exhibit their sartorial skills on the red carpet, which this year was a notable shade of fuchsia.

While Blake Lively and Morgan Saint subverted womenswear conventions with androgynous trouser suits, Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B proved that Hollywood grandeur is far from its expiry date in decadent gowns.

Meanwhile, Algee Smith and Marshmello reigned supreme in the menswear department for their eye-catching style quirks.

See which stars earned their style credentials at this year's VMAs and bask in the splendour of the music industry's eclectic fashion choices.
