    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

2015 might as well be known as the year of the celebrity couple breakup. From Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s divorce to short-lived flings like Gigi Hadid and Joe Jonas, it quickly became hard to keep track of all of the uncouplings in Hollywood throughout the past twelve months. While many people would argue that the best way to deal with a breakup is with a pint of ice cream, a lot of stars opted to embrace their newfound single status with a drastic new look. A fresh start has never looked as good as with our favorite celebrity break-overs of this year.

Kardashian turned to the gym and adopted a healthier diet as way to clear her mind while ending her six-year marriage with Lamar Odom. Although the youngest Kardashian looks undeniably fabulous after losing 35 pounds and cutting her hair into a flattering, blonder lob (pictured above and at top), her killer confidence and inner strength are the most attractive makeover results.

This year, Culpo said goodbye to both Nick Jonas, her boyfriend of two years, and her lob. The former Miss Universe upgraded from her shoulder-grazing style to an edgier blunt bob. Just like her recent single status, Culpo shared that the chin-length cut “[It] feels a littttttle weird not having hair but I think I like it,” when she first ‘grammed the ‘do.

After parting ways with husband, fellow country singer Blake Shelton, in July, Lambert gave her sandy blonde hair a boost to platinum. She debuted the new look on Instagram with a caption of some words to live by: “What doesn’t kill you only makes you blonder.”

Edwards didn’t let her breaking off her engagement with Zayn Malik get her down. Instead, Edwards put down her flat iron and embraced her natural, beautiful curls, which she complemented with big lashes and a classic matte red lip for an extra dose of glamour.

Kardashian ended things with Scott Disick—her long-time boyfriend and father of her three children—for good this past summer and hasn’t looked back. Since losing the dead weight, Kardashian has been working out regularly and showing off her toned post-breakup bod with the occasional bikini selfie, and posing nude in a photo series called Metallic Life. We totally don’t blame her for flaunting her impressive results!

Following the end of her nearly 13-year marriage with Gavin Rossdale, Stefani returned to her punk rock roots and added a vibrant purple layer to the black, dip-dyed tips of her signature platinum locks. The singer's new hair is a sign that despite some major changes, she's doing hella good.
