    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.

On top of a pale pink base color, lead manicurist Miss Pop painted on a delicate floral pattern, then added a 3D element by placing aĀ small cluster of pearls usingĀ KISS nails Luxe Accents at the very center of each bloom.

Playing off of the travel-inspired element of Public School's collection, lead manicurist Deborah Lippmann used her Amazing Grace lacquer over a base coat of the Genie in a Bottle nail illuminator ($18 each; deborahlippmann.com) to impart an airy, cloud-like appearance.Ā "I created negative space by offering whispers of white to fashion a feathering design that replicated the movement felt and seen throughout the clothing," she says.

Armed with a makeup sponge, Michelle Saunders dabbed on Essie's Tarte Deco, Marshmallow, Beach Bum Blu, and Midnight Cami ($8 each; essie.com) in thin, horizontal lines to create an ombre fade, then finished with a coat of Spaghetti Strap ($8; essie.com) to soften the gradient.

Jin Soon combined the negative space, French, and open-V nail art trends into one graphic design for the Tibi show. She started by using a striping brush to draw two parallel lines in the center of the nail, then painted a diagonal strike from the edge of each line toward the center of the nail. She finished by filling in the space with a bold green from her Spring 2016 nail color collection.Ā

To play off of the idea of a "90s good girl gone bad," lead manicurist Rita Remark went for an oxblood-toned ombre pattern that used contrasting matte and shiny textures. She began with two coats of Essie's In the Lobby ($8; essie.com), then layered on a matte top coat. Once dry, Remark picked up the Devil's Advocate shade ($8; essie.com) and used the brush to create upward strikes starting from the cuticle.

Manicurist Katie Jane Hughes mirrored the soft prints in Shoji's spring lineup with a haphazard nail design, which incorporated Butter London's Cotton Buds, Muggins, and Molly Coddled shades ($15 each; butterlondon.com) swept at different angles onto individual nails using the Butter London Ombre Brush ($30 for the kit; butterlondon.com).

As an appropriate nod to Miller's street art-inspired collection, lead manicurist Katie Jane Hughes created a paint splatter effect on each digit with just a handful three lacquers and a bobby pin. After a base layer of Butter London's Cotton Buds ($15; butterlondon.com), she dipped the looped end of her bobby pin into the Union Jack Black shade ($15; butterlondon.com) and blew through the center to impart the splatter appearance, then repeated the technique with the yet-to-be-released Easy Peasy color.
