    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

If your new year's resolutions include organizing the skincare products taking over your medicine cabinet, checking the expiration dates on your makeup, and tossing those almost empty shampoo and conditioner bottles that have been taking up space in your shower since 2018, I've got some bad news for you: You're probably going to hit pause on reassessing your beauty routine until February. Thanks to January's new beauty product launches, your collection is definitely going to grow this month. 

Tatcha's innovative, travel-friendly serum stick will be the one skincare product you pack for every trip you take, while OLEHENRIKSEN's cleanser is like a refreshing fruit juice for your face. As for makeup, IT Cosmetics has created an uber-comfortable matte lipstick, and Hourglass' concealer is a long-wear formula that does not crease. 

RELATED: All the Products Our Beauty Editors Loved Using in December 

When it comes to haircare, the drugstore is the place to be. Celebrity hairstylist Kristin Ess has added fragrance-free products to her affordable namesake haircare line, and Pantene just expanded its Gold Series Collection for natural hair with a hydrating, protective cream specifically formulated for braided styles. 

While these new haircare, skincare, and makeup products are exciting, there's no question that having so many options can be overwhelming. That's why we've done the work to pick out the top 20 worth spending your hard-earned coin on.

Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask

$52
SHOP IT

While they're mainly found in sports drinks, electrolytes can work topically to replenish skin's hydration levels, too. Drunk Elephant has formulated its first-ever moisturizing mask with four electrolytes (coconut water, sodium PCA, magnesium PCA, and prickly pear extract), along with vitamin F (fatty acids linolenic and linoleic), and niacinamide. Together, this cocktail maintains skin's hydration, repairs the skin barrier, and calms redness caused by acne and harsh weather conditions (aka dry winter air). Slather it on before bed and let it absorb into skin overnight. You'll wake up with a glowy, not greasy, face in the morning.

SHOP IT

A texture spray is the key for getting your hair to look perfectly piecey and mussed up. The only problem is that many formulas are drying and make hair look dull as a result. But with Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Soft Texture Finishing Spray being formulated with six nourishing oils, silk powder, and polymers, this spray adds a tousled finish, but keeps hair soft and shiny.

Laura Mercier Blurring Pure Canvas Primer

SHOP IT

Primers are likely one of the most debated makeup products. But whether or not you think prepping your skin with one is necessary, they exist for a reason. A good primer will hydrate skin plus balance out the texture and tone so that your complexion products go on evenly and stay that way. And Laura Mercier's new collection is good enough to convince even the biggest skeptics. The line includes five primers, each one silicone-free with a water and glycerin-based formula, plus a few added ingredients to cater to specific skincare needs, like hydration, SPF protection, and blurring for oily skin.

With winter frizz and static in full effect, Living Proof's hair mask couldn't drop at a better time. The conditioning mask hydrates and reduces friction between individual strands, which in turn, will reduce frizz. Swap out your regular conditioner for this product a couple times a week to maintain results.

Under-eye concealers are expected to do the most: Brighten up dark shadows, minimize lines and wrinkles, and make whoever's wearing it look well-rested. Needless to say, they're not all created equal. Luckily, Tarte has taken its best-selling Shape Tape Concealer and created an under-eye highlighter inspired by its cult-favorite complexion product's brightening finish. The Glow Wand includes a mix of hydrating botanical extracts, plus a diamond powder complex for exta illumination. It comes in eight shades that suit a range of skin tones and undertones.

If 2020 is the year you're going to ensure you wear sunscreen every single day, this SPF-infused cream from New York-favorite dermatologist Dr. Howard Sobel is just the moisturizer your morning routine is missing. While it's best to never entirely rely on an SPF moisturizer for sun protection, it will add another layer of coverage or make up for days when you slack on your resolution. The lightweight cream also includes plant stem cells for added hydration and improves firmness.

Short term, add it to your nighttime skincare routine and you'll wake up with a fresh and glowy face. Clover also supports skin's natural built-in renewal cycle, while squalane hydrates skin to minimize the drying effects of exfoliating.

Whether you're one of those people that can't stand the smell of overly-perfumed haircare products or you have allergies, Kristin Ess has you covered. The celebrity hairstylist just dropped a fragrance-free haircare collection. Along with unscented shampoo, conditioner, detangler, styling cream, and hydrating hair mask, there's the Dry Shampoo Powder. Why use a powder over a spray dry shampoo? You'll apply the right amount of product exactly where your scalp needs it every time. Massage the lightweight powder into your roots to soak up excess oil and zhuzh up second-day hair.
