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.

Watch again as celebrities departed the Carlyle Hotel in New York’s Upper East side as they headed to the Met Gala.

Fans had swarmed the hotel in hopes of catching first glimpses of celebrity outfits before their red carpet appearances.

This year, the Met Gala will celebrate The Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”. Co-chairs for the event include Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny.

The concept of this year’s exhibition is the reimagining of fragile designs that can never be worn again. Guests will be following the dress code of “The Garden of Time,” a nod to JG Ballard’s 1962 tale.
