    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.

When breathing exercises and heavy drinking fail to reduce your anxiety levels triggered by this year's election, a relaxing bubble bath and face mask combo (with your newsfeed out of sight, mind you) could be the solution. After all, you've probably tried just about everything else by this point. Regardless of who you're siding with, this year's election is understandably much more stressful than previous races in recent memory, so we've rounded up a few of our favorite skin, body, and hair products to help take your mind off of the matter. After you rock the vote today, shop our list of beauty essentials below to help you feel slightly more zen.

NEST Cedar Leaf and Lavender Candle

Light a candle, and hit play on your Drake playlist. Lavender is rumored to produce a calming effect when inhaled, and we can only hope the feeling becomes amplified when done in tandem with the smooth vocals of Degrassi High's most-famous alum.

Sephora Collection Lotus Mask

$6
SHOP IT

Face masks are an activity that sort of force you to chill—you wash off your makeup, apply this sheet mask soaked in a lotus-infused serum, and let it boost your moisture levels as you watch TV. Just avoid the local news until the results are announced for fear of winding yourself up even further.

Honest Beauty Truly Restored Recovery Masque

$30
SHOP IT

Smooth on this coconut oil-infused mask, then go do your laundry while the rich formula repairs any damaged areas. The amino acids used in the mix mimic the keratin naturally found in your strands, so any holes in the hair shaft caused by excess heat styling immediately get filled in.

L'Occitane Lavender Foaming Bath

When you're on edge, sometimes a hour-long soak in the bath (with either a very chill or very comedic podcast playing in the background) is the only remedy. Let the soothing aroma take your stress level down a notch, while the hydrating formula makes your skin extra soft and touchable.

Ulta

Stress breakouts are a very real thing, if years previously spent cramming for final exams didn't already confirm that, and this potent salicylic acid-based spot treatment has the power to kill those anxiety-triggered bumps before you have time to freak out over those as well.

Kiehl's Skin Rescuer Stress-Minimizing Daily Hydrator

SHOP IT

Though stress-eating your weight in gummi bears is typically a bad idea, one can argue that sugar can help your anxiety levels—at least where your skin and this moisturizer are concerned. The formula conains mannose, a rare sugar that acts as your skin's armor, and helps to heal any inflammation or redness.
