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.In red carpet terms 2014 was a very long year; kick starting in January with awards season in full swing and with one major event after another, it's been a stellar year for black tie dresses.
In fashion terms the red carpet is as important as the bi-annual catwalk presentations in terms of brand exposure. A red carpet moment on an A-list star at the Academy Awards or any of the other major red carpet events can give a brand a money-can't-buy global stage.
Awards season belonged to emerging talent Lupita Nyong'o, who showed the kind of red carpet style that actresses with a decade in the industry are still striving for.
Notable mention also goes to Jennifer Lawrence whose relationship with fashion house Dior has afforded her regular mentions on best dressed lists.
In the more unfortunate category of worst dressed it's a mixed affair. Regular offenders include Miley Cyrus who we've seen rather a lot of this year, shall we say.
Kim Kardashian West has made 2014 the year of her assault on the fashion industry with magazine covers, a high fashion wedding and catwalk show appearances. Whilst she is very capable of getting it right, all too often she strays into 'reality tv' star territory with something sheer and latex.
