    The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    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

Trying a new beauty product is like playing the lottery: If you’re lucky, you become obsessed with the new product you’ve discovered. But, if your new mascara flakes or your shampoo causes build-up, you’re stuck with a bunch of half-empty products that you’ll probably never use again.

In the name of helping beauty junkies everywhere, Instagram’s #ProductEmpties hashtag is where people are taking ‘grams of the latest products they’ve used up and including how well they performed in the ‘grams’ captions.

Since testing new products is part of the job description, InStyle’s beauty team rarely makes it to the bottom of a tube of moisturizer or finishes off a lipstick bullet unless it’s really good. Here, InStyle’s beauty team shares what products work so well, they’re amazing until the last drop.

Renee Rouleau Anti Cyst Treatment

“Fact: I am constantly running out of this stuff because it’s just that good, and I will sing its praises to anyone willing to listen. Renee Rouleau’s Anti-Cyst Treatment may not have the sexiest name out there, but it’s the sole reason my skin has gotten to somewhat of a better state. Depending on my stress levels and when my moon cycle is on the horizon, I can expect to wake up to a few of those soul-crushing, under-the-skin breakouts that your traditional spot treatment can’t quite reach. Rouleau’s formula uses a potent amount of lactic acid, which is concentrated enough to penetrate the deeper layers of skin where the infection lies, and effectively kills that sucker in a day or two. I can also use it to treat surface breakouts, which end up disappearing overnight. I used to go through about one bottle every two months, but the new larger size means I won’t have to restock as often.” –Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

Glossier Boy Brow in Brown

“Getting complimented on my brows is the highest praise you could ever give me, and it’s all thanks to a tiny tube of this brow pomade. Glossier’s formula has a wax base, so it doesn’t get stiff like your traditional brow gel, and the soft brow tint effectively hides any weird gaps/evidence that I had tweezers in the 9th grade. I especially love how the brush is small enough to cover the hairs at the beginning of my brow, where I don’t need super heavy coverage, but tames the thicker arches and ends into place.” –Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

“I have full bangs so I’m usually pretty lax when it comes to grooming my brows unless my fringe is freshly trimmed and they’re completely visible. Since Glossier’s Boy Brow immediately sold out when it was released and even garnered a 10,000 person waitlist, I had to try it to see if the product lived up to the hype—and I’m glad I did. Its soft tint and pomade formula fills in and shapes your brows with a natural finish that looks like your own brow hairs. I’ve never received compliments on my brows until I started using it so I held onto mine as long as possible until there was absolutely no more pomade that could be scooped out of the tube with its spoolie brush applicator.” –Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer

“Whenever my skin is in need of a serious deep clean, I turn to this mask. It soaks up excess oil and shrinks blemishes without drying up my complexion. I’ve even cut the top off the tube when the product was near its end to get one more masking session out of it.” –Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer

“This was my summer fragrance, and I am not exaggerating when I say that I want to cover my entire body in this stuff. Throw me into a vat of this almost-tropical scent and I will live there forever. The scent starts out with a burst of white florals on contact with your skin, but after a few minutes, the notes take on almost a creamy element if that makes any sense at all. A hint of citrus keeps the fragrance from getting too sweet. I will miss this bottle immensely.” –Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor
