    The 35 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    Naked dresses are perhaps the most impressive of all red carpet feats. While they may not always make the best-dressed list, they do require a certain breed of celebrity to pull off. Not only do you have to have the balls to risk a wardrobe malfunction, but you have to do it with enough confidence that you look fierce — not terrified — in the photographs. Take Naomi Campbell's appearance in Valentino's couture show during the spring/summer 2019 presentation. The legendary model gracefully strutted down the runway in a see-through gown with a ruffle skirt. (Click through the gallery for the NSFW photo).Ā  Get the inside scoop on all your favorite celebrities with our FREE daily newsletter, InStyle Celebrity. Breaking news, relationship updates, hairstyle inspo, fashion trends, and more direct to your inbox! Let's not forgetĀ Rihanna’s infamous CFDA dress either. The girl rocked a completely sheer dress without a bra — and later remarked that her only regret was not wearing a bedazzled thong to match. That, my friends, is dedication. Then, there was the year 2015, when the Met Gala saw not one nor two but three naked dresses on the red carpet, all worn by Hollywood’s hottest A-listers. Jennifer Lopez, above, bared her famous curves in a custom Atelier Versace illusion gown. BeyoncĆ© was nearly naked in Givenchy. And Kim Kardashian West almost looked modest in comparison in her sheer Roberto Cavalli dress, because no one’s getting naked without KKW joining in. Click through to see the best naked dresses of all time.

"He's always been a talented designer, but he's just getting better and better," said Joy Bryant of longtime friend Zac Posen at his Fall 2009 runway show. Bryant shared the front row with fellow Posen loyalist Claire Danes-both looking polished in his designs. What does Danes admire most about the designer? "His imagination, his daring and constant relentless desire to push himself throughout."

and Alicia Keys added even more stunning star power to Zac Posen's front row. Posen created quite the formal affair as five pianists (a brother and sister group called 5 Browns), clad in tuxedos and ball gowns, took to the runway performing classical ballads on Steinway grand pianos while models elegantly floated down the catwalk in whimsical chiffon, metallic and floral-print gowns.

Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger

Recent New York transplants Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson were a well matched pair at Tommy Hilfiger, sporting similar scarves, dark jackets and shades. The duo kissed as they waited for the catwalking to begin and exchanged thoughts about the classic American styles throughout the show. "I liked that [the clothes were] very simple, very real, but with a bit of a twist," said Kruger. "There was a gold lame cocktail dress that was classic in terms of style, but the lame really made it stand out."

"What I love about Tommy's clothes is that they're just so easy to slip into," said Selma Blair, looking mod in a white dress and black patent-leather accessories on her way into Tommy Hilfiger's show. Another person who appreciated the ease of wearing Hilfiger's clothes was Natasha Bedingfield. "I only got two hours of sleep last night because I was out partying. But that's Fashion Week, isn't it?" said the singer. What will she do to recuperate? "I'm leaving for Cabo tonight!" she exclaimed.

Before the Ralph Lauren show began, Blake Lively (in Ralph Lauren) chatted enthusiastically with other front row guests, including Polo Ralph Lauren S.V.P. David Lauren. "I'm a huge fan. I wear Ralph all the time," said Lively. The Gossip Girl star smiled as she watched the elegant collection of sleek gowns, tweed suiting and winter-white separates pass by. "I loved the black evening gown that started the show," she said afterward, "and you might see me in one of the white looks at the end."

Project Runway

host Heidi Klum looked hot in a pink suit from Matthew Williamson's Spring 2009 collection (and Stephen Webster jewelry) when she came down the catwalk to announce the start of the show. "This will be a little different. We're all in a bit of limbo right now," she told the crowd. None of the Season 6 episodes have aired, so the three finalists remained a mystery throughout the fashion show.
