    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).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.

This fall there's a strikingly chic lip color for every mood, so why just stick to one hue? We asked the pros how to best pull off each of the season's five key shades, no matter your skin tone.

Burgundy

"This color is a nod to film noir," says makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who created Kate Bosworth's bold look. "Wearing a dark lipstick like this is definitely a strong statement-not to mention extremely glamorous."

HOW TO: Burgundy is best applied by pencil or straight from the bullet, without any matching lip liner underneath. "Otherwise, you'll get a dark ring around the mouth if your lipstick wears off," says Dubroff. To cut the intensity, just swipe on a clear lip balm first, she explains. A purple-based port looks best on fair skin, a berry with slight brown undertones pops against medium complexions, and a rich, shimmery wine stands out on darker tones.

Hot Pink

"Pink has an amazing pop to it," says Alicia Keys's makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff, who gives it points for versatility too. "It pairs well with bronzer and really well with smoky eyes."

HOW TO: Apply directly from the tube, working from the outer corners in toward the center of the lips. "This prevents you from going beyond your mouth's natural borders," Sheriff says. Dab with a sponge, then set with loose powder. Remember: The deeper your skin tone, the darker the pink (lighter shades can look chalky).

Coral

"Coral adds a glow to your skin and has a retro charm to it," says Myface Cosmetics Artistic Director Kabuki, who works with Heard.

HOW TO: For maximum effect, make sure your application is ultra-precise. Work the color into your lips with a small brush, and perfect the edges with a flat eyeliner brush. Kabuki blended red and orange stains for Heard, but if you're fair as well, a rosy coral will look great. Try a vibrant melon hue on medium complexions and a gold-flecked version on darker skin.

Cherry Red

"Red pulls your look together," says Carola Gonzalez, Washington's makeup pro. "It's strong, powerful, and feminine-it says 'I've got it all.'"

HOW TO: For a neat, polished, and symmetrical red like Kerry Washington's, trace around lips with a pencil matched to your lipstick. Then swipe on two coats for impact, says Gonzalez. Berry red flatters fair skin, a true red works on medium tones, and a deep orangey rouge pops on darker complexions.

Nude

"A shade one level darker than your natural lips creates subtle contrast. That's classic but also modern," says makeup artist Jeanine Lobell.

HOW TO: "Nude will cake up if it's applied wrong, so use a light hand," notes Lobell, who has worked with Cate Blanchett. Swipe on color from the tube, spreading it out with a lip brush. "I like to overdraw edges slightly to define the shape of the mouth," she says. Rosy hues bring warmth to fair skin, peachy beiges play up medium tones, and copper sparkles on darker complexions.
