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.

Beyonce is used to dressing in Balmain and Versace, but she has added a Birmingham-based designer to her wardrobe after spending £200,000 on a pair of diamond-encrusted stilettos.

The House of Borgezie Princess Constellation shoes were bought for the singer to wear in her next music video, which is due out in the autumn.

Beyonce also reportedly bought a gold basque belt from the same company for £55,000.

Chris Shellis, owner of House of Borgezie, said he was thrilled the singer had chosen to shop at his store.

“It’s the ultimate,” he said. “Beyonce’s one of those fantasy customers.

“If you want someone to model your creations, you can’t get any better than Beyonce.”

The company was approached by Beyonce’s people months ago after they spotted an article in a US publication mentioning his products.

Shellie said that, to date, only two pairs of the shoes have been sold.
