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.

New York has played host to its glitziest bash, the annual Costume Institute Gala.

With a guestlist to rival the Oscars, name any celeb and they were most likely in attendance - from music's biggest stars Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, to Hollywood's A-list Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway and Katie Holmes.

Traditionally in style terms the event raises the bar for red carpet dressing with designers pairing up with their favourite star to create a custom made gown that will knock the competition out of the park and score a few headlines.
