    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.

golden globe winner - Tilda Swinton

Credit: Jim Spellman/WireImage

Best Actress in a Supporting Role

Michael Clayton

The Role

As the morally-challenged Karen Crowder, Swinton convincingly plays a distraught woman willing to do anything to cover up the truth. For this portrayal, the British actress receives her first Oscar nomination.
Red Carpet Style This 47-year-old wears a variety of monochromatic styles on her lithe frame. Some of her red-carpet styles fall into the futuristic category, like the copper sheath dress or metallic suit she wore to premieres last year. This year, she seems drawn to basic black in luxe fabrics.

CALLOUT {Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture}]

The Award Her odds are good: this is her third win out of five Globe nominations that have spanned her 20-year career. She takes home the prize for her role as the influential Joanne Herring in Charlie Wilson's War.
Signature Style A mom at heart, her everyday style starts with jeans and Birkenstocks-but look out when this 5'9" beauty hits the red carpet. She tends to stick to sophisticated black, but rarely in a basic cut.
This Look The 40-year-old mother of three looks svelte and radiant in a Diane von Furstenberg gown at a recent award ceremony in Beverly Hills.

Javier Bardem

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE

The Award The Spanish actor comes up with his first win (of three nominations) for his haunting role as hired assassin Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men.
Signature Style It's fair to call him a Spanish George Clooney, with his solid stature and charming smile (surely not lost on girlfriend Penelope Cruz). More often than not, he forgos a tie on the red carpet and leaves the first few buttons of his shirt undone.
This Look At the Critics' Choice Awards, the 38-year-old looked sexy and stylish in a sharp gray suit.

CALLOUT {Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture}]

The Award This is the 53-year-old's fifth nomination and second Globe win-although his first for playing a woman. He wins for his turn as Edna Turnblad in the movie remake of Hairspray, his first musical since Grease.
Signature Style When you've been in the business for more than 30 years and marked as the king of disco movies, your looks will be quite varied. For the most part, Travolta always looks pulled together and traditional.
This Look He recently attended a breakfast to recognize friend Jodie Foster, looking cheerful in a classic black suit and subtle metallic tie.

CALLOUT {Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture}]

The Award As Arthur Edens in Michael Clayton, audiences were blown away by his performance as an attorney who suffers a mental breakdown and becomes a tragic hero. Clearly, so was the HFPA, who has awarded him his first Globe.
Signature Style The 59-year-old Brit seems to take himself more seriously as an actor than as a fashion template, preferring to keep a low-key style for publicity outings.
This Look At a premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, Wilkinson is appropriately casual in a blazer and jeans.
