    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

Is it just us, or do the Scandinavian countries do just about everything in a cooler way? We worship at the altar of Acne and other minimalist clothing brands, the home design elements are as sleek as they are functional, and as it turns out, the beauty game in the area proves to be equally strong. From candles that evoke that certain sense of "Hygge" every design blog waxes poetic, to the most hydrating skincare serums we've ever experienced, we put together a list of 9 staples that hail from the far North. Shop our favorite Scandinavian beauty picks below.

Björk & Berry Perfume Oils

$42 each

Björk & Berry

No relation to the singer clad in a swan dress, but with scents that pay homage to autumn rainstorms, Swedish forests filled with birch and pine, or the long-awaited moments just before the start of spring, the notes within these bottles are just as unique.

Skandinavisk Candles in Hygge and Nordlys

$48 each
SHOP IT
Skandinavisk

Whether you want to give your living room that Hygge aesthetic every decorating site seems to be obsessed with, or bring home some aurora borealis flair, these candles never fail to evoke a warm, cozy feeling. While the Nordlys scent is fresh and aquatic with a hint of wood, Hygge mixes fireplace-esque elements with rose petals, mint, and strawberry cake.

Verso Super Facial Serum

$120
SHOP IT

The sleek exterior alone practically screams Scandinavian design, but it's the potent dose of retinol housed inside that we're really intersted in. It's strong enough to hit the rewind button on existing lines while boosting collagen production, but since it's completely stable, your skin won't get irritated.

Lumene Arctic Spa Body Butter

$15
SHOP IT

If this ultra-rich body cream is nourishing enough to stand up to the harsh Finnish winters, then best believe it will leave your skin soft and touchable in your current climate, which may or may not feel like summer by comparison.

SHOP IT
