    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).Ā  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 forgetĀ 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. BeyoncĆ© 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.

Lip gloss reigned over the early aughts and we stashed handfuls of tubes in our desks, bags, and pockets so we could routinely reapply it a counterclockwise motion throughout the day—until we discovered matte-lipstick.

Believe it or not, lip gloss is making a comeback. Forget the tacky, sticky and overly sparkly formulas that became glued to your lips as soon as you went outside, today's formulas pack bold pigments like your favorite bullets.

Don’t believe us? We’ve rounded up some of the best glosses in fall’s must-have shades that deliver color, moisture, and just the right amount of flattering, non-gooey shine.

Burberry Kisses Lip Gloss in Redwood

Consider brick red the classic red lip’s older, chicer sister. To avoid looking too vampy during the day, swipe on Burberry’s lightweight gloss for a dewy punch of color, and layer the lippy for a bolder, wet look at night.

LORAC Alter Ego Lip Gloss in CEO

The thought of fall makeup may conjure the desire to swap summer’s pinks for darker shades, but the contrast of a muted rose pout with the season’s neutral clothing in your wardrobe, is actually the perfect pairing.

NYX Cosmetics Butter Gloss in Raspberry Tart

A berry lip for fall is a beauty trend that’s the equivalent of floral clothing for spring. We know, groundbreaking. But, a medium-coverage lippy with a creamy, non-sticky formula refreshes the color for a trailblazing effect.
