    The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    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

Fact: Olivia Culpo has amazing skin. A quick scroll through her Instagram feed is photographic proof that her complexion always remains flawless whether she’s on the Oscars red carpet or at Coachella in the middle of a scorching Palm Springs desert.

Since the model and style star is constantly travelling and wearing heavy makeup on-set for work, two factors that can do some major damage to skin, we figured there needs to be a secret sauce to her routine.

Beyond using her favorite Instagram filter (she prefers Clarendon for its brightness) and finding her perfect light through trial-and-error, Culpo has an extensive, but simple skincare regimen that she follows to keep her complexion clear and radiant from the inside out.

Along with vegetable-heavy juice recipes (her rule is 80-percent vegetables and 20-percent juice), taking vitamins, and she’s careful about protecting her skin from the sun—especially with summer and its running list of festivals coming up. “I really try to be diligent about keeping my face out of the sun, or at least try to be diligent about wearing SPF,” Culpo told InStyle. “Even after one day in the sun, I’ll notice more freckles on my skin. I try to wear a hat, definitely wear SPF and I like to carry around a hydrating spray.”

To help us get ready for the sweaty, sunny days ahead, we grilled Culpo on her must-have products for keeping her skin healthy and glowing during summer. Keep scrolling to find out her skincare must-haves and why she loves them.

Along with her product lineup, Culpo also makes sure she's taking her vitamins. "Another new thing I’ve added to my routine is Olly’s new Flawless Complexion Vitamins," she told us. "I take them every day, and that plus my regular routine has made my skin look better than it has in months. I think it’s because the Flawless Complexion gummies are packed with purifying antioxidants.” Not only are these gummy vitamins packed with antioxidants, minerals, and botanicals, they taste like candy.

Culpo swears by the Clarisonic to deep cleanse her skin. "It’s hard because when you’re always on set and wearing really heavy makeup, it’s tough to make sure you’re really getting all the gunk out of your skin," she told us. This gentle cleansing brush removes dirt, oil, and makeup from pores up to six times better than using your hands.

Culpo rolls Nurse Jamie's collagen-stimulating tool over her complexion at night. "Another thing I’ve been using lately is the Nurse Jaime Uplift tool. It’s basically roller  for your face," she told us. "It’s non-invasive and helps regenerate new collagen. I’ve really loving it, and I can also see a difference in the texture of my skin."

"I think it’s really important to invest in areas where skin is delicate," Culpo said of her dedication to slathering on eye cream every night. Her favorite? The cult-favorite La Mer Eye Balm, which is enriched with the same age-fighting Mircale Broth that's in the brand's moisturizer.

Going into summer, Culpo incoporates a vitamin C-rich serum into her routine to combat sun damage. "I’ve also been using Adore’s Vitamin C serum to get rid of red marks, which I think is really important for the spring and summer when you’re out in the sun more," she told us. "You want to make sure you get rid any dark spots and protecting your skin against any pigmentation."

After washing her face with water and applying SPF in the morning, Culpo spot-treats any red marks with tea tree oil. And the essential oil doesn't just work wonders on blemishes, it will also come in handy after spending summer nights outdoors. The star told us she's also used it on nasty mosquito bites.

The last step in Culpo's nightly routine is a rich cream. Her favorite that's she's been using forever is Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Night Cream. Packed with eight powerhouse anti-aging ingredients like retinol, red algae, and Winter Daphne Stem Cell Extract, to name a few, the formula improves skin texture and tone overnight.

Whether she's heading to a festival in desert like Coachella, or outside on a summer day in the city, Culpo likes to stash a hydrating mist in her bag. "I try to wear a hat, definitely wear SPF, and I like to carry around a hydrating spray, like Evian," she told us. "It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it will keep skin hydrated." Her other tip? Use the spray to stop your makeup from getting cakey in the heat. "Your makeup can get really baked on when it’s hot out, so you can get more of a dewy look if you incorporate a hydrating spray," Culpo said.
