    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

Ben Affleck, Nikki Reed, Naya Rivera, and a few Olympians were just some of the notables that came out for InStyle’s annual star-studded Oscar Viewing Party. Many were rooting for Lupita Nyong'o who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Patsey in 12 Years a Slave, and cheers loudly erupted when she won. Gabrielle Union—who shares the same hair stylist with Nyong'o—could not have been happier. “She’s so wonderful and I’m thrilled for her,” Union told InStyle. As for Scandal co-stars Katie Lowes, Tony Goldwyn, and Dan Bucatinsky mingled with other partygoers, but stuck close together most of the night tweeting photos of each other trying to outdo one another. “We make it a competitive thing,” Lowes joked.

Celebrities enjoyed a fun-filled night at the swanky RivaBella in West Hollywood that was beautifully decorated by event designer Thomas Ford,with gold and yellow orchids and tulips for a spring look, paired with sleek black leather couches for a cozy feel. The 225 guests feasted on goat cheese baklava, spicy tuna tacos, braised short ribs, pizza bites (vegan) and macaroni & cheese while cheering on the 86th Academy Awards winners. To see who else celebrated with InStyle, look though our gallery!

was a vision in Naeem Khan and revealed to InStyle.com that her look was inspired by Katy Perry. “I saw this and thought she might wear this, so I felt inspired by her. I felt like it was a real statement and it was really bold, and I’ve been trying this year to experiment with bolder shapes, colors and styles. This dress is truly one of a kind situation.”

were the perfect match at the viewing party. “I wanted to compliment her," says Big Sean (in Armani and Rivera in Paule Ka) about his fiancee. "She’s the main piece wearing all white so I thought it would be cool to wear all black."

stepped out for the viewing party in Badgley Mischka, but not before finishing up her homework. “I was doing my schoolwork while I was getting my hair and make-up done,” Thorne says to InStyle.com. “That was probably most challenging for Tanya Brewer who does my hair and make-up because I was doing my math homework online.”

kept a close eye on their Oscar ballots during the ceremony. “I love showing up to these events and seeing my ‘Scandal’ family and getting all dressed up,” Lowes (in Haute Hippie). “I’m usually seeing them in our Washington D.C. clothes or in the make-up trailer in our sweat pants so it’s really nice to get gussied up and run into my friends from the show."

gave orange a run for its money in a red hot Elie Saab gown. “I love the whole Grecian sort of one shoulder thing going on. It made me feel sexy and it’s also really comfortable. On a night like this, having any comfort is kinda nice,” says Prepon.

“The first big thing is picking the right dress. If I do that, then everything else kind of flows,” Palmer (in Lublu) explains to InStyle.com about her red carpet challenge. “I’m a Virgo I’m very over analytical and I over analyze everything and I get a lot of anxiety with some things so I want to make sure I make the right move.”
