    The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    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).  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 forget 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. Beyoncé 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 5 Haircut Trends That Will Dominate 2020

    The beginning of the new year comes with the irresistible urge to start over fresh, which means it's a great time to get a haircut.  This decade's first big hair trends include looks at every length that can be tailored to your hair texture and personal style. For anyone with a blunt bob — the most popular haircut of the past few years — you probably already guessed that the cut will still be going strong into the next decade. But there will be a few tweaks. As seen on Kerry Washington, 2020's bob has textured, softer edges, and looks amazing whether you part it down the middle or off to the side.  RELATED: The 10 Hairstyles You'll See Everywhere This Winter But if you swear that 2020 is going to be the year you finally grow out your hair, let Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian's extra-long lengths be your inspiration. Or, you can get the look instantly with the help of some clip in extensions.  To help you figure out how to wear your hair in the new year, we've rounded up the five biggest haircut trends of 2020, so you'll be sure of what you want before you head to the salon in January.  VIDEO: The Five Biggest Haircut Trends of 2020

Emmys 2013: Bling Rings

It may be the first day of fall, but it was all pastels on the red carpet at the 2013 Emmy Awards! From Claire Danes (in Armani Prive) to Rose Byrne (in Calvin Klein), the stars went with gowns in nudes, blush pinks, silvers and even sheer. The trend went as far as the bling as seen by  Zooey Deschanel's the  pale blue Chanel ring that she wore to match her ice blue J.Mendel gown and even Allison Williams got in on the trend wearing a light pink Fred Leighton topaz rock. The pale shades also made their beauty mark with celebrities like Kerry Washington who matched her neutral lip color to her rose gold Marchesa gown, while Padma Lakshmi‘s '70s inspired eyeshadow coordinated with her light blue Kaufmanfranco gown.

Old Hollywood glamour curls are the new go-to for award nights. Connie Britton's hair stylist Creighton Bowman used Leonor Greyl products to create her look. “Connie is wearing this gorgeous gown by Naeem Khan that has gold and bronze embellishments on it. So we went with a very editorial Veronica Lake look, we wanted the Hollywood waves but with a little 'disheveled elegance.'"

Undone Chignons

We’re loving the sexy, tousled updos that dominated this year’s red carpet. Jessica Pare’s hairstylist Marcus Francis told us, “Jessica’s Oscar de la Renta gown made a statement both with its color and beautiful silhouette. The hair needed to be less coiffed to keep this look modern and young. Looking at the recent fashion shows I was inspired by both Dolce amp Gabbana and Alberta Ferretti which had sexy, whimsical hair.”

Petal Lip

Warm, glowing complexions are always the best compliment for a soft, petal lip. Kate Mara?s makeup artist Coleen Campbell-Olwell used Orlane products to create her look. ?Kate is wearing a beautiful, long white dress with a bit of edge and a deep side part, so we wanted to go with a bronzy, gold look on the eyes and keep everything really warm.? Kerry Washington?s makeup artist Carola Gonzolez first prepped her lips with Hourglass No. 28 Lip Treatment ($42, sephora.com) Oil and then applied Hourglass Extreme Sheen Lip Gloss in Truth, a beige rose, for the finishing touch. ?The inspiration came from the delicate dress,? says makeup Gonzalez, who combined velvety matte skin, purple lids and luminous cheeks for a look that was as pretty as the floral embroideries on Washington?s Marchesa gown. ?Although I like a matte finish, especially for awards shows, I added a radiance to her skin with Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder ($45, sephora.com) in Radiant Light. It?s the perfect shade for Kerry.?

Shimmer was all over the spring 2014 runways and it made it’s way to the red carpet with the most glamorous stars making it look more sophisticated than ever. Allison Williams’makeup artist Julie Harris took inspiration from her cobalt Ralph Lauren dress and amethyst jewelry and gave Allison an “all American beauty” look. On her eyes she used CARGO_HD Picture Perfect Eye Shadow Primer ($19, cargocosmetics.com) then apply FLOWER Color Play Creme Eyeshadow in Orchid-Ing Around ($7.98, walmart.com) on the lids.

Red Lips

No Hollywood event would be complete without the gold standard of glamour: the red lip. Christina Hendricks’ makeup artist Vanessa Scali used Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick in Power Red ($25, elizabetharden.com). Scali told us, "She wore a black Christian Siriano gown and new blonde locks to the Emmys. We could have really gone in any direction with the makeup: bold lips, smoky eyes, fresh and pretty... In the end, we went for a fresh face and a warm, red lip.”

Nail Art

While many celebrities stuck to one solid tone for their manicures, Kate Mara, Sarah Hyland, Zooey Deschanel, and Zosia Mamet decked out their digits in creative nail art. Mamet opted for a teal-on-black Ruffian-style pattern, while manicure queen Deschanel accented her black-and-white checkered pattern with polka dots. Mara and Hyland both opted for negative space designs, exposing a section of their natural nail underneath Red Carpet Manicure's gel formula. "Kate's dress is made of lace and toile with a pattern, so I wanted to create a negative space that mirrored the design on the top of her dress," said Mara's manicurist Kimmie Kyees, who used Red Carpet Manicure's Dripping in Luxury ($10; redcarpetmanicure.com).

There aren't any bells and whistles here. Stars stuck to a simpler style, proving that 'less is more' still holds true. Taylor Schilling lit up in an ivory Thakoon dress with a sexy front split, Rose Byrne bared her midriff in a petal silk crepe Calvin Klein Collection separates and Padma Lakshmi was a vision in Kaufmanfranco.

Instead of bolds and brights, many took a softer route and opted for pretty pastels. Kerry Washington channeled her Scandal character Olivia Pope in a light flowy Marchesa dress, Julie Bowen accentuated her figure in Zac Posen and Julianne Hough showed off lean legs in a sheer Jenny Packham.

The best thing about this sexy silhouette is that it hugs every curve. Malin Akerman chose a frothy Marchesa dress, Anna Gunn color-blocked in Romona Keveza, and Sofia Vergara went red-hot in Vera Wang.
