    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

I'm consistently fighting my inner control freak. It's not that useful when I'm sitting in New York City gridlock or when rain washes away my plans for an after-work baseball game. But it does help when it comes to skin aging. While I can't control how my DNA will influence things, I do have full authority over my daily skin habits and the products I use to prevent the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and uneven texture. That's where my anti-aging moisturizer comes into play. 

There are thousands of anti-aging moisturizers out there, so yes, the category is flooded with options. Ideally, you want your moisturizer to hydrate while supplying your skin with ingredients that strengthen its barrier and help to stimulate collagen production.

It's part of my job to uncover the best and most effective options at every price point, so I did just that with this gallery of amazing anti-aging moisturizers priced from $19 to over $300. Keep scrolling for a few of my favorites.

Aveeno Absolutely Ageless Daily Moisturizer With Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30

$19
SHOP IT

Always forget to apply SPF? Make sure your anti-aging moisturizer has one in it, then. This vitamin-enriched daily formula is made with SPF 30, but you wouldn't even know it because it's so lightweight and absorbs quickly.

RoC Retinol Correxion Max Daily Hydration Anti-Aging Crème

$23
SHOP IT

At less than $25, this oil-free, anti-aging moisturizer supplies some serious skincare benefits. It's made with hyaluronic acid, which is the buzzy ingredient that adds moisture to your skin while plumping it up. But its main claim to fame is retinol, which stimulates collagen production and enhances skin cell turnover, making your skin look younger for longer.

Olay Total Effects Whip Facial Moisturizer

$29
SHOP IT

This innovative formula was made for the person who hates the feeling of basically anything on his or her skin. Its whipped texture quickly transforms into a liquid that seeps into your skin in seconds, but it doesn't skimp on benefits. It's made with vitamins and nutrients that fight seven different signs of aging. That means it works to restore moisture, even out skin tone, brighten the skin, smooth fine lines, minimize the appearance of pores and dark spots, and boost firmness.

PERRICONE MD Cold Plasma Anti-Aging Face Treatment

$89
SHOP IT

This featherweight moisturizer from Perricone MD uses an ingredient called DMAE to lift sagging skin. It has a refreshing, cooling sensation when it hits the skin, which is why it's one of my favorites for morning use.

LA MER Crème de la Mer

$170
SHOP IT

So is La Mer worth it? The answer is yes. The moisturizer is powered by an ingredient the brand dubbed its "Miracle Broth," which is made in a fermentation process involving sea kelp. The claims? It adds moisture back to the skin, while boosting radiance and soothing irritation. I'm hooked and the results are real.

DR. BARBARA STURM Face Cream

Credit: Courtesy
$215
SHOP IT

Created by the genius behind the "vampire facial," this anti-aging moisturizer is one of my all-time favorites because it doesn't irritate sensitive skin. It uses an ingredient called purslane that kick-starts an enzyme that works to reverse the signs of aging within your skin cells. It's creamy without being heavy, and refreshes tight, dehydrated skin in seconds.

Chantecaille Bio Lifting Cream+

$342
SHOP IT

After only two days of applying this creamy moisturizer, my skin felt plump and looked noticeably firmer and clearer. This is likely thanks to a mix of botanicals that work to hydrate, reduce inflammation, and lighten age spots.
