    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).  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

We have a love-hate relationship with winter. While we don’t miss sweating it out in the mid-August humidity, we’re not fans of season’s dry air and its vacuum-like winds that suck all the moisture out of our complexions. However, dull, sad winter skin can be avoided by simply swapping out some of the key products in your skincare regime for formulas that will hold up against the seasonal elements and treat the effects they have on our complexions. Don’t know where to start? Us either. In the name of keeping our skin soft and smooth all season long, we turned to five dermatologists to find out what skincare products you should use this winter.

Dr. Y Secrets Star-Powered PM Serum

$90
SHOP IT

“A time of healing and hibernation, winter is the best time to go deeper into skin maintenance and repair. My favorite skincare product that helps treat the skin during harsh winter weather is my Star-Powered PM Serum, retinol in a super-moisturizing base. Adding retinol to your daily beauty ritual will help even skin tone from any hyperpigmentation and brown spots accumulated from the summer sun, increase cell turnover, treat fine lines, and stimulate collagen production.” –Dr. Yelena Yeretsky, N.Y.C.-based cosmetic dermatologist

AmorePacific Future Response Age Defense Dual Eye Cream

Credit: Courtesy
$150
SHOP IT

“The sensitive area around the eyes is one of the most challenging to keep looking young and refreshed. Lacking the fatty, nutrient-rich under-layer found on the rest of the face, this area can often be left looking discolored, dry, swollen, and even flaky. Dry, windy, cold winter conditions only add to this problem area, making the holiday season seem more like a holiday nightmare. For optimum eye care and protection, I suggest using a day and night cream combination like the Amore Pacific Future Response Age Defense Dual Eye Cream set. This moister-rich duo protects against sun and heat damage during the day with SPF 25, and promotes natural collagen production and skin turnover at night. A day and night eye cream regime like this will leave eye areas youthful, refreshed, and most importantly, protected.” –Dr. Jeannette Graf, Great Neck, N.Y.-based dermatologist

Aveeno Skin Relief Moisture Repair Cream

$9
SHOP IT

“Dry, cracked winter skin leads to loss of hydration and susceptibility to environmental irritation. To combat this, look for a moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides, which are natural fats that replace those lost from the outer skin layer.  In addition, colloidal oatmeal helps coat, soothe and protect dry skin to improve hydration.” –Dr. Joshua Zeichner, N.Y.C.-based dermatologist

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

$125
SHOP IT

“I like this cream because it has a pleasant smell—important when you will be breathing it in under a scarf. Also, it’s smoothing and hydrating without being too thick or greasy.  No one likes to feel greasy under several layers of clothes!” –Dr. S. Manjula Jegasothy, Miami-based dermatologist

Burt’s Bees Res-Q Outdoor Lip Balm Stick with SPF 15

Credit: Courtesy
$7
SHOP IT

“Because our lips lack oil producing glands, they are always more susceptible to drying out. This problem becomes more apparent during harsh winter months when our lips are exposed to extreme conditions such as wind, cold, sun and dry air. Burt’s Bees Res-Q Outdoor Lip Balm with SPF 15 offers a perfect mix of soothing moister and broad spectrum SPF to guard against harsh winter elements while at the same time reviving that smooth, soft lip that is desired all year round.  For lips that are more damaged and in need of some serious restoration I would recommend Burt’s Bees Medicated Lip Balm which uses 100% natural ingredients to cool and sooth painful sores and other irritants.” –Dr.Jeannette Graf, Great Neck, N.Y.-based dermatologist

Excipial Daily Protection Hand Cream

Credit: Courtesy
$17
SHOP IT

“Frequent hand washing during the winter time may prevent the spread of germs, but it takes its toll on your skin barrier. The latest technology in hand cream is to provide glove-like protection, where the cream forms a protective seal around the hands to prevent damage during the day.” –Dr. Joshua Zeichner, N.Y.C.-based dermatologist

Honest Company Organic Body Oil

Credit: Courtesy
$10
SHOP IT

“This body oil is Helianthus annuus (sunflower seed oil)-based, which has been found in studies to be both anti-inflammatory and to be very good at reducing water loss though (better than coconut oil in this respect!).” –Dr. Cybele Fishman, N.Y.C.-based dermatologist
