    The 39 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.

The month-long marathon of fashion shows that takes place in the four most stylish cities in the world— New York, London, Milan, and Paris—has finally wrapped, and it's been a blur of insane pop culture moments, must-have looks (some that you could shop straight from the runway), unforgettable sets, instantly covetable "It" items (Gucci all day, every day), designer debuts, and celebrity sightings. And speaking of the stars, between Kanye West as a designer to Lady Gaga as a model to KenGi (aka Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid) taking over the runways, celebrities and Fashion Week have become one and the same. Need proof?

We broke down Fashion Month to bring you the biggest moments in a neat, simple guide. Consider this your cheat sheet to everything you need to know about the fall/winter 2016 collections, encapsulated in 16 pictures, below.

Marc Jacobs pulled a fast one on us when he castĀ Lady GagaĀ in his line-up of models. She caught theĀ crowd by surprise (her pseudonym in the run-of-show line-up was "Peyton," btw) and everyone cranedĀ to get a good lookĀ as she stomped along in a bow tie-neck blouse and giantĀ fur-accentedĀ coat that seemed to swallow her diminutive frame.

Hedi Slimane set the Saint Laurent show in the newly renovated 17th-century mansionĀ l'Hôtel de SénecterreĀ for the first time. Guests sat on personalizedĀ engraved chairs as each look was announced in both French and in English byĀ Bénédicte de Ginestous—a tradition from the YSL days. But was the collectionĀ ready-to-wear orĀ couture? ThereĀ still seems to be confusion, but in any case, the finale look—an exaggeratedĀ red heart-shaped coat—was all anyone could talk about.

Much likeĀ Hedi Slimane's no-frills Saint Laurent show, Karl Lagerfeld (who traditionally goes all out andĀ transforms the Grand Palais for Chanel shows) took away the bells and whistles and went with a bare-bones set—white carpeting with rows of gold chairs that entitled each guest to a front-row seat.Ā
