    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).  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

There's several reasons we love a great eye cream. First and foremost, no matter your age, taking preventive action against fine lines and wrinkles is always a good idea. Many of our twenty-something editors make sure to regularly apply eye cream and firmly believe it's never too early to ease the aging process. Second, we're big proponents of self-care and taking time for yourself daily. Applying eye cream is a luxurious added skincare step that feels wonderful as it soothes and cools sensitive skin just around the eyes. Finally, as if it wasn't obvious (!), we're into using eye cream for the killer results we've seen from our favorite high-quality products. Keep scrolling to shop the eye creams our editors actually use.

"Sometimes I question if the extra step of eye cream is even worth it. But trust me, it is! The gentle skin under your eyes is the first to go. I love how sheer and lightweight this formula is. I even layer it on midday for a quick pick-me-up. It’s makes me look more awake than my usual latte!" —Selene Milano, Senior Beauty Editor

"This is hands down the best eye cream I’ve tried and I’ve been using it throughout my 20s. It hydrates and plumps up the under eye area so no one will ever know how little sleep you got last night. As an added bonus, its packed with SPF 15 that protects skin against further damage." —Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer

Jurlique Nutri-Define Eye Contour Balm

$90
SHOP IT
sephora.com

"This is one my favorite eye creams of all time. It’s so hydrating and soothing, and I often feel like the skin around my eyes feels dry and uncomfortable at the end of the day. It also works for the entire eye contour, tightening the skin all around the eye and not just the area where crow’s feet form. It comes with a little metal ball that helps you massage the product in around your eye.” —Victoria Moorhouse, Beauty Editor

"I recently started using this Malin+Goetz Revitalizing Eye Cream at the recommendation of one our beauty editors. After a few days' use, I was hooked. Its powerful ingredients soothe undereye puffiness, diminish dark circles, and target fine lines. The result? I look more alert and awake on the daily, while taking preventive measures that'll ease the aging process." —Anna Hecht, E-commerce Editor

Kate Somerville Goat Milk De-Puffing Eye Balm

$38
SHOP IT
nordstrom.com

"I’m a rookie in the eye cream realm and often forget, but the streamlined glue stick-esque shape of Kate Somerville’s Eye Balm makes application quick and easy. Since using it, any fine lines were immediately blurred over, and since it both depuffs and creates a cooling sensation, no one will ever know I stayed up late the night before sobbing over Beaches.” —Marianne Mychaskiw,  Associate Beauty Editor
