    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).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.

Beyonce and John Mayer

After an evening of big wins and memorable performances, music's hottest acts partied like true rock stars around Hollywood. Beyonce (in Georges Chakra) was still in shock over her duet with living legend Tina Turner when she hit the Sony/BMG after-party at the Beverly Hills Hotel. "I still can't believe it happened," gushed Miss B, who mingled with fellow post-Grammy guests like John Mayer. "Of all the performances I’ve done in my life, this was the ultimate!"

Though she didn't take home any trophies, Fergie was content to celebrate her banner year with fiance Josh Duhamel at L.A.'s legendary Palms restaurant for the Universal Grammy celebration. "It is a beautiful moment," the sexy singer mused when asked how she felt about releasing her first solo album and getting engaged in the same year. No wonder the Duchess was absolutely glowing. "I got a tan in Australia, touring with the Police," she explained.

After arriving at the Sony/BMG bash hand-in-hand with Chace Crawford (not pictured), Carrie Underwood (in Naeem Khan) headed straight for the buffet. Aside from the mini-quiches, what was the highlight of the evening for the country star? "Winning was awesome!" Underwood-who accessorized her Grammy-gold dress with 8-carat Chopard yellow diamond earrings-exclaimed. "I thought Brad Paisley did great. And the Foo Fighters are one of my favorites-I went to see them in concert a few weeks ago."

After a ceremony that featured musical match-ups like Alicia Keys and Frank Sinatra, the pairing of Akon and Lindsay Lohan at the Universal Music Group fete didn't seem quite so out of the ordinary. Ashanti and Nelly, Beyonce and sis Solange Knowles, and Mary J. Blige and Kendu Isaacs were the other notable duos who stopped by the bash.

Are-they-or-aren't-they couple Chris Brown and Rihanna met up at Entertainment Weekly magazine's post-show bash honoring music exec Antonio "LA" Reid at hot boite STK club. While Rihanna had already swapped her trend-setting Zac Posen gown for a late-night frock, Brown preferred to stay in his red and white suit-at least for the moment. What was inside the Gucci backpack he was toting? "A change of clothes in case I get sweaty dancing," he admitted.

Josh Groban

and John Legend traded fashion philosophies at the Sony/BMG party. "For me it's important to be formal, but I have to show youth so I do the jacket and jeans look," Groban (in Dolce amp Gabbana and Ernest Sewn) mused. "I wanted to be appropriate, elegant and fashion-forward," Legend (in Christopher Bevans) explained. As for the recipe for the perfect Grammy after-party? "More champagne!" Legend declared, holding up his glass.
