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.

The 2015 Academy Awards takes place in less than a month and with the couture shows now over, all eyes are on the red carpet.

The spring/summer 2015 couture shows provide a prime opportunity for awards attendees and their stylists to earmark the best gowns.

As the profile of red carpet dressing has grown, so have the dresses. Off-the-peg is no longer an option for many of the most high profile attendees and nominees meaning one-off gowns created specifically or designs from couture collections are practically standard.

The latest round of couture shows which saw designers showcasing their most spectacular creations for spring comes at an ideal time for awards season; barely a few weeks before the main event the gowns are still new and exclusive.

Here is our prediction of gowns from the spring/summer 2015 couture shows that might be making an appearance at the Oscars:

The list of nominees for the 2015 awards includes an impressive array of names including Marion Cotillard, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone and Keira Knightley - expectations are high.
