    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

Shania Twain's Beauty Transformation Is Just as Epic as Her Biggest Hits

Don't call it a comeback: Although Shania Twain just released her first album in 15 years, the Canadian singer's beauty (and fashion) have always been just as iconic as her hit song "That Don't Impress Me Much," which was inspired by Twain's reaction to Brad Pitt's naked photo scandal.

On the red carpet Twain's hair and makeup moments have always been just as bold, but just like you and I she's gone through her own beauty transformation, too. The only difference? No one captured the frosty lipstick we used to wear in the '90s or our crimped hair during the early aughts. Throughout the years the singer has mostly stuck with voluminous curly hairstyles, but was always up for switching things up every once in a while.

Keep scrolling to see the country star's red carpet hair and makeup moments throughout the years.

A lesson in matchy-matchy makeup from Twain: wear a lipstick that’s the same shade as your silk scarf. A half-up half-down hairstyle completed her Country Music Awards red carpet beauty look.

The singer updated her chocolate brown hair with warm caramel highlights. If you’re a dark brunette who doesn’t want to bleach your hair, consider Twain’s look a safer way to add warmth to your color by going lighter.
