    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).  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 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.

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

As the unofficial start of awards season, the Golden Globes red carpet is guaranteed to be filled with memorable beauty moments every year. Since celebs never fail to bring their A-game when it comes to the hairstyles and makeup they wear to the show, many of their looks quickly turn into the year's biggest beauty trends. 

With the 2019 show imminent, prep by reminiscing over some of the best beauty looks from years past. Take Marilyn Monroe's '60s-era flippy bob and cat eye, and Halle Berry's soft, layered pixie and nude lip as examples of some of the standout beauty moments we're still talking about decades later. 

Here, our comprehensive list of the most memorable hair and makeup looks in Golden Globes history.

Rooney Mara, 2012

Rooney Mara is proof that growing out a pixie doesn't have to be a struggle. In the process of going from short to long after wrapping up her role in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Mara parted her hair to the side and pulled it back into a tight low ponytail. She didn't completely ditch her character Lisbeth Salander, tough. Mara channeled the computer hacker with her dark smoky eye makeup.
