    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

Shaveworks The Cool Fix Gel Lotion

Confession time: Although this gel ($25; sephora.com) is meant to soothe razor burn on your legs, underarms, and bikini line, we've taken to using it as regular body lotion. We love how the lightweight formula doesn't get sticky in the humid air, while helping to minimize ingrown hairs and irritation.

Did too much time at the beach leave you with a burn? Restore the moisture lost at sea with a dollop of Korres' After-Sun Gel ($24; korresusa.com), which incorporates a generous dose of yoghurt in its formula to instantly soothe sensitive areas.

We love storing this invigorating blend of mint, apple blossom, and oakmoss ($48; nestfragrances.com) in the fridge before spritzing it on to amp up its chill factor.

MAC Magically Cool Liquid Powder

A splash of water is a quick way to cool off-and mess up your makeup if you aren't careful. Luckily, MAC's innovative loose powder ($30; nordstrom.com) allows you to chill out while keep your contouring skills intact.

Burberry's creme blush ($38; burberry.com) may create a believeable glow, but you'll feel anything but flushed thanks to its refreshing formula, which uses 50% water to impart an instant refreshing feeling on contact.

Laura Geller Cool Lids Cream Eye Shadow

A full-on smoky eye can be fussy in the middle of summer, but a stay-put creme formula like Laura Geller's ($19; laurageller.com) creates the same effect in just one swipe.

Urban Decay Chill Makeup Setting Spray

In addition to the icy feeling it imparts, we also love how Urban Decay's setting spray ($30; sephora.com) keeps our makeup from melting off in 100-degree temps.

No need to crank up the air-Peter Thomas Roth's hydrating mask ($45; peterthomasroth.com) will leave you feeling cool as a cucumber, as nourishing ingredients like chamomile, papaya, and aloe help to soothe irritated skin.
