    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.

"My stylist, Petra Flannery, said try color. She sounds like my grandma. My grandma always used to tell me that when I was growing up. I was like, 'No. I'm never going to try color. I'm a New Yorker. I'm always going to wear black and solid colors.' Then you realize, 'Oh, color really suits me.' It helps my personality a lot, too. It affects you with happiness."

"Take the time to learn your own style and then just embellish that. You have to feel it from the inside out. That's what makes it whole, what makes it sell, what makes it appealing."

"It doesn't matter what people say or think about what you're wearing. It's about how you feel in what you're wearing, because nobody else is wearing it but you. Understand that, and you'll go far."

"My stylist, Jen Rade, said people can get so wrapped up in the high designers. Ultimately, it's not about just wearing the designer because it's made by a certain designer—it's about wearing something because it looks good on you."

" Gossip Girl stylist Eric Daman is great at layering and accessorizing. I always try to find one thing and stick with it, but he's trying to get me into that whole world on Gossip Girl so I'm wrapping my mind around wearing these big earrings and necklaces. It's difficult for me, but I just trust him."

"Just dress for your body, and you don't need to spend a lot. The difference between high-end clothes and low-end clothes is generally fabric and fit. So if the fit isn't quite there, all you have to do is take it to the dry cleaner and have them take it in. And then you'll have something that looks really high-end."
