    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

You know the look: flawless, dewy, gorgeous. Red carpet-ready skin can be as head turning as the designer gowns stars rock during awards season, and that golden glow is one of the main reasons we love to tune in to the biggest show of them all, the Oscars. But celebs don’t just roll out of bed with camera-worthy skin, they work at it—a lot!—spending major time and money perfecting their pores, undergoing the most cutting edge, sought-after treatments Hollywood has to offer.

Just as Best Actress nominee Jennifer Lawrence turns to renowned New York dermatologist Dr. Colbert for a pre-Oscars Triad Facial, stars don't hesitate to put in calls to their favorite LA based specialists to help them sparkle on the red carpet. If you take note of every blemish-free face strutting across your screen (like we do) then you’ll want to check out these A-list facials. We rounded up five of the most beloved spas, and most genius skin-care gurus, offering the ultra-indulgent, results-driven treatments that keep your fave stars glowing through awards season, and beyond.

THE PERENNIAL FAVE:

Credit: Courtesy/Jen O’Sullivan

Spa: Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts

Treatment: DermalQuench Oxygen Treatment

Price: $260

Celeb Fans: Anna Kendrick, Vanessa Hudgens

The Experience: Kate Somerville is a Hollywood staple. Stars like Lily James and Rashida Jones head to her discreet Melrose Place spa before a big event for highly effective facials like the DermalQuench Oxygen Treatment, which immediately plumps skin and diminishes fine lines. The treatment kicks off with a gentle cleanse and exfoliation to slough away dead skin. Once the skin is clean, it’s coated in a hyaluronic acid and vitamin-infused serum, then sprayed with concentrated oxygen to help the serum penetrate beyond the skin’s surface and provide maximum hydration. Eye cream, a thick moisturizer and a coat of sunscreen round out the session and leave you ready to walk the press line.

End Result: Fewer fine lines and a more plump, hydrated face.

THE SCIENTIFIC EXPERIENCE:

Spa: The Spa at Four Seasons Beverly Hills

Treatment: The DNA Facial

Price: $275

Celeb Fans: Lea Michele, Christina Aguilera 

The Experience:

The Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills is among the most treasured landmarks of the Hollywood elite, so it’s no surprise that the spa added this innovative facial to its menu just for awards season. Using DNAEGF Renewal products, known for their groundbreaking active ingredients derived from non-GMO marine based plankton and organic barley harvested in Iceland, this facial transforms the skin from the inside out. A machine that simultaneously performs exfoliation, infusion of essential revitalizing nutrients and natural skin oxygenation is used for maximum absorption of nutrients into the skin, even after the treatment, for immediate and lasting results.

End Result: Plump skin that is luminous and youthful looking.

THE FIXER:

Spa: Shani Darden Skin Care

Treatment: Custom Facial with LED Mask Therapy

Price: $300

Celeb Fans: Jessica Alba, Emmy Rossum

The Experience:

Beloved by Chrissy Teigen and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for her skin-clearing results, Shani Darden begins this light-therapy treatment with a lactic-acid peel to prep skin for the LED mask. Following a face plumping ultrasound, a bulky white mask that emits pink and blue LEDs is placed over the face, as well as one over the neck and chest. Collectively, the lights boost collagen production and zap bacteria, resulting in firm, clear skin that’s more than camera ready. When all is said and done, you’ll be ready for your close-up.

End Result: Brightened, firm and smooth skin, with reduced breakouts.

THE SECRET SKIN GURU:

Spa: Mila Moursi Advanced Skin Care & Skin Care Institutes

Treatment: Global Anti-Age Rejuvenation Treatment

Price: $450

Celeb Fans: Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock

The Experience:

Mila Moursi is like a personal trainer to the stars, only it’s not muscles she’s whipping into shape—it’s skin. Devotees like Laura Prepon and Jessica Biel appreciate Moursi’s approach to skin care as a lifestyle, and they’ve got the glow to prove it. For this treatment, the face is cleansed and given a dry contouring massage to prep. Then comes a series of intensive serums, creams and masks, to encourage cellular renewal. Depending on your individual concerns, additional corrective treatments like microdermabrasion, ultrasound, microcurrent, LED, collagen and peels are prescribed to ensure that you leave with radiant, photo worthy skin.

End Result: Rejuvenated skin that looks and feels smooth and hydrated.

THE SUPER LUXE:

Spa: Spa Montage Beverly Hills

Treatment: The L. Raphael Oxy-Star Anti-Pigmentation Facial

Price: $1,100

Celeb Fan: Eva Longoria

The Experience: 

L. Raphael is the epitome of a world-class luxury brand, so its no surprise that it's found a West Coast partner in the prestigious Spa Montage. This treatment, which Eva Longoria loves to get before a red carpet, starts with a deep, but gentle cleansing. Then comes an invigorating Oxy-Peel brightening and anti-aging spray, comprised of pure oxygen, water and an anti-aging compound of pure lecithin, omega 3, anti-oxidants, vitamins. It also contains white truffles, which disperse melanin beneath the surface of the skin to even, tone and fade sun spots. After that, a restoring massage of the face and neck is performed using boosting ampules, followed by a firming collagen mask. One more round of the oxygen spray is applied to the face and voila, instant glow!

End Result: Skin that is soft to the touch and visibly glowing and firm.
