    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.

Wine

Perhaps inspired by True Blood, Twilight, and all things vamp-fever, blood red is having a major moment.

Wine

The easiest glam-goth way to wear wine is on nails-just apply two coats of LancĆ“me Vernis in Love Polish in Rouge Reglisse ($15; lancome-usa.com) to make sure it's opaque. For a more daring take, try it on your lashes. To keep it from looking like you’ve come down with hay fever, stick to neutral shadow and just include the dark red on the tips of your lashes; try Laura Mercier Long Lash Mascara in Burgundy ($24; lauramercier.com).

Hunter Green

We loved the long-sleeve, forest green velvet dresses that came down the runway. If it's your color, try a smaller swatch of green on your lids or your fingertips.

Try a bold shot of dark emerald on your tips like Essie's Stylenomics ($8; essie.com starting in September). For eyes, a palette of green is versatile enough to flatter many skin tones. Try Tom Ford's Eye Shadow Quad in Sahara Haze ($75; neimanmarcus.com), using the lighter neutrals shades like cream or pale gray on your lids, and reserving a swipe of khaki green for your crease.

Gunmetal

Nothing telegraphs rocker-chic like gunmetal gray, a shinier, edgier version of charcoal. It’s perfect for creating a mysterious, smoky eye and stand-out metallic nails.

For a high-octane smoky eye, apply Nars Matte Eyeshadow in Thunderball ($24; narscosmetics.com) all around your eye, smudge with a Q-Tip, and voila, drama. Gunmetal gray nails are back for fall and as usual Chanel hits the right mark with Chanel Le Vernis in Vertigo ($26; chanel.com).

Caramel/Cocoa

There's a reason caramel and chocolate go so well together, and not just in your coffee or candy bar-the colors are also meant to be together. Combined, they perfectly play off one another and are especially good for bringing out undertones in your eyes.

Try Dior 5-Couleur Eyeshadow in Golden Savannah ($59; dior.com) or MAC Styleseeker Eyeshadow in Marche aux Puces ($27.50; maccosmetics.com starting in late August); a swipe of one of these rich neutrals across your lid and another above it in the crease are simple but stunning.

Gold

Nothing says Old Hollywood Glamour like glittery gold. It's also universally flattering.

Gold

A swipe of gold illuminating liquid, like Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer in Rose Gold ($20; stilacosmetics.com) warms your complexion. Apply it to your cheekbones and collarbones to look sun-kissed (and don’t worry-a light hand and no one will confuse you for a walking Oscar statue). Or, play up eye-especially brown, hazel, or green-with a glitzy gold shadow for evening, like Bobbi Brown Sparkle Eye Shadow in Sunlight ($28; bobbibrown.com).

Yellow

Yellow makeup might seem a bit intimidating. Trust us—it can work. Just keep it to one touch of sunshine at a time.

Egg-yolk colored nails are colorful and playful; try Thakoon for NARS polish in Amchoor ($18; narscosmetics.com). The more daring can try yellow eyeshadow, such as MAC Electric Cool Eye Shadow in Brilliantly Lit ($18.50; maccosmetics.com) — just pair it with a thin swipe of black liquid liner to keep the look sophisticated.

Orange

Credit: Vera Wang, Imaxtree, Courtesy (2)

True Crayola orange isn’t always the easiest makeup shade to wear, so the best way to incorporate the hue is with orange-inflected pinks, making for a coral wash on cheeks or lips. (Pick one, so it’s not orange overload.)

Orange

A sheer orangey powder, like Make Up For Ever Star Powder #952 (Iridescent Orange) ($20; sephora.com), makes for an especially flattering blush or bronzer. Another favorite: YSL Rouge Volupte Perle No. 110 Incandescent Orange ($34; yslbeautyus.com), or any orange-coral lip gloss that makes lips look young and fresh, like you just finished a Creamsicle.

Cobalt

We're obsessed with this rich, pigmented hue. It’s a great alternative to plum for a manicure, and gives off an cool, downtown girl vibe. Cobalt lids are another great way to stand out during your night out.

For your nails, try Illamasqua Nail Varnish in Force ($14; sephora.com). For lids we love Estee Lauder's Vivid Shine Eyeshadow in Fire Sapphire ($24; esteelauder.com). Start with a good spackling of undereye concealer so the shadow doesn’t bring out your circles. Then do a sweep of blue shadow just on the lids to the outer corners, and watch the bold blue make your eye color pop.

Nude

Credit: Courtesy (2)

Try a dusting of step-above-translucent Diorskin Nude Tan Nude Glow Sun Powder ($55; dior.com), applying it with a large soft brush. For a mod, 1960s-throwback, tease your hair at the crown, wing-out your black liquid eyeliner, and a swipe of nude lipstick a shade or two lighter than your natural lipcolor. One to try for pale-to-medium complexions: Sephora Color Lip Last in 01 Oh My Beige! ($12; sephora.com).
