    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

A laser treatment from your dermatologist's office can leave your skin red and sensitive for days -- not to mention set you back a few thousand dollars -- but thanks to Tria's Age-Defying Laser ($495; triabeauty.com), you can get the same results at home for a fraction of the price. A DIY laser may seem intimidating, but Tria's version is gentle enough for daily use. After you've cleansed your skin at night, simply pass the device over your entire face, and allow the tiny light beams to work their magic. The minuscule lasers actually trick your skin into thinking it has been damaged, which kick-starts the repair process to diminish wrinkles, fade dark spots, and leave you with an all-over refreshed appearance. The best part? No downtime! The nightly sessions won't irritate even sensitive skin types, and you'll be able to see full results in under two weeks.

But Tria's laser isn't the only skin innovator we're obsessing over. Just like the technology used in your smartphone and laptop, skincare technology is constantly evolving, so we searched the market to round up the newest cutting-edge products and devices that combine beauty and brains to get you glowing. Click through our gallery to shop even more skincare innovators!

 Tria Beauty Age-Defying Laser

There’s not a lot of fine print with this collagen-stimulating fractional laser. Turn it on each day and sweep over your cheeks, forehead, and chin for a few minutes, then watch fine lines fade. “You don’t need a big laser to get big results,” says Dr. Annie Chiu. Some women notice softened lines in two weeks; expect complete results in three months.

Equal parts primer and skincare, Lancome's 1-Minute Blur ($55; lancome-usa.com) instantly erases fine lines and age spots with innovative optical pigments, which diffuse light and create the appearance of smoother, brighter skin.

Foreo Luna for Normal Skin

Credit: Courtesy Photo

Rotating skincare brushes can often be too harsh for sensitive complexions, which is why we're obsessed with Foreo's Luna device ($199; foreo.com). After lathering up, run the Luna over wrinkle-prone areas to activate the gentle pulsations, which draw out dead skin cells, pore-clogging bacteria, and makeup to provide a mini-facial in the comfort of your own home.

Dior Pore Minimizer

This isn't your traditional primer! While Dior's new formula ($42; dior.com) perfects skin and prolongs your foundation just like other mattifiers on the market, it also minimizes your pores without clogging them full of product.

Illumask Anti-Acne Light Therapy Mask

You may look like a Star Wars Storm Trooper wearing this mask ($30; ulta.com), but as a result, you'll end up with out-of-this-world skin. The red and blue LED lights work in tandem to kill bacteria deep in your complexion, while fading old blemish spots, and soothing existing bumps.

James Read Sleep Mask Tan

James Read's overnight bronzing mask ($65; net-a-porter.com) creates a believable sun-kissed glow while you sleep, and the red algae infusion keeps your complexion from drying out in the process. The self-tanner stays put on your face rather than your sheets, and the light, blendable formula ensures that you won't wake up with zebra stripes.
