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.

What are you wearing right now?

A pair of black Vera Moda jeggings with ankle zips, and an ASOS grey long-sleeved jersey padded shoulder top. And a pair of Diesel Black Gold platform wedge heeled lace-up boots.

What can't you live without?

High-heeled shoes will never, ever leave my wardrobe. This world would be a drab place without the clip-clop of a fierce pair of heels attached to a fab pair of legs sashaying down the street.

Describe the best outfit you have ever worn ...

In the video to my song "The Shape of You" I wore a white classic Yves Saint Laurent "le smoking" tuxedo and fabulous snakeskin Dior boots. I was channelling a sexed-up black Dietrich. Loved it.

What's in your wardrobe?

Around 50 pairs of jeans in every cut! I went through a "jacket phase" a while back too. Don't even start me on how many pairs of shoes I own. I lost count at 400. Everyone's got one vice, don't they?

What is in your make-up bag?

I have an array of cosmetics from my own make-up line, K by Beverley Knight, including lipgloss in blackberry, black mascara, my light oil-free foundation in deep mocha, and pressed powder.

How often do you look in the mirror?

Often! I don't need a dodgy picture of me in "Heat" with a "spinach smile".

Any fashion confessions you want to share with us?

A long time ago, I was too heavy for my natural frame. I was so used to being small, so I still dressed "little". Mistake.

Beverley's album "100%" is out today. K by Beverley Knight cosmetics launches on 17 September: Selfridges.com
