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?

Diesel jeans, H&M black organic cotton T-shirt, Portobello cashmere jumper (in black from their Italian range), Carolina Barbieri star necklace, Tag Heuer watch and Philip Treacy deerstalker hat in black – it's cold today!

Who's your style icon?

The women I think are stylish would include Debbie Harry and my friends Erin O'Connor and Jasmine Guinness.

Describe the best outfit you have ever worn.

I wore a Giles Deacon red "anaconda" dress (right) with nude heels from Imitation of Christ to the British Fashion Awards recently. And the Jean Paul Gaultier winter 2005 couture show – it was an amazing collection – when I was the bride with a Native American-style style headdress, was one of my favourites!

What can't you live without?

I have a lot of Lulu Guinness handbags and Christian Louboutin heels. You can never have too many bags or shoes.

What's in your wardrobe?

Too much! It's packed, and I've recently been told I have to get rid of half of it. I'm thinking we need to build a new wardrobe...

Make-up essentials?

I love Shu Uemura concealer and eye shadows, Maybelline mascara, Mac lipstick and eye pencil, Chanel and Essie nail polish. I always make that sure I have some Kiehl's panthenol moisturiser in my handbag.

Most stylish era?

I think the 21st century is great! We can wear whatever we like.

How often do you look in the mirror?

I have a toddler so I really don't get much time to look in the mirror. Morning and evening when I'm putting on or taking off my make-up is probably about it.

Any fashion confessions you'd like to share with us?

I'm still loving my old Ugg boots - I just can't find a comfier and warmer winter boot.
