    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

The Beauty Products You Need to Embrace Your Inner Surfer Girl

Summer is almost here, which means we're longing for salt-soaked waves and sun-kissed makeup, now more than ever. That cool, casual vibe embodied by surfer girls is as desirable today as it was when Blue Crush hit the big screen in 2002—and luckily you don’t need to spend weekends at the beach (or know how to ride waves) to attain the same natural beauty look.

Keep in mind that a true surfer girl’s primping habits are low-maintenance, so spending hours on your hair and makeup isn’t necessary—in fact, it will only take away from the effortless quality you’re trying to achieve. To get you started, we rounded up all the products you’ll need to channel your inner surfer, including ones to score perfectly tousled tendrils and a back-from-the-beach glow without the damaging effects of saltwater and UV rays. Shop all the must-haves now in our gallery!

Victoria’s Secret Body Prep Smoothing Scrub

Before you apply self-tanner, be sure to exfoliate for a streak-free finish. Prep with this bombshell-worthy body scrub ($18; victoriassecret.com), which sloughs off dead skin cells and softens dry patches.

Drybar Mai Tai Spritzer Sea Salt Spray

Credit: Courtesy

Breezy beach waves may be a surfer girl’s best accessory, but extended salt water exposure can wreak havoc on your strands. Invest in a sea salt spray, like Drybar’s volumizing concoction ($25; thedrybar.com), to achieve just-out-of-the-ocean texture without the damage.

Becca Beach Tint

In true surfer girl fashion, your makeup routine should be as fuss-free as possible. For a multi-tasking product that provides a natural flush of color, try Becca’s blendable creme stains ($25; sephora.com), designed to use on both cheeks and lips.

NARS Body Glow

For an instant bronze (sans the sun), try NARS’s glow-enhancing body oil ($59; nordstrom.com) for a natural, back-from-the-beach look. Glide over skin after showering for best results-just remember to allow a few minutes for it to absorb to avoid staining clothing.

Bobbi Brown Beach Body Lotion

This fresh-scented moisturizer ($36; bobbibrowncosmetics.com) is a lightweight option for summer and will soothe dry skin (and accidental sunburn) with its blend of aloe vera and olive, jojoba, and sunflower oils. It even reduces peeling to help your glow last that much longer.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Changeable Eye Lash Curler

Credit: Courtesy

Instead of fussing with mascara (and risking raccoon eyes), simply curl your lashes for an easy, wide-eyed look. Sephora’s customizeable eye lash curler ($17; sephora.com) comes with a range of interchangeable finger and eyelash pads in summer-ready shades, so you can coordinate with your outfit or bikini.

Supergoop Fusion Lip Balm SPF 30+

Swap your heavy lip glosses for a hydrating lip balm with SPF. Supergoop’s shea butter-infused version ($9 each; supergoop.com) not only blocks damaging UV rays, but the sheer pink tint adds subtle color as it soothes.

Shiseido Refreshing Sun Protection Spray for Body & Hair

Credit: Courtesy

While you should shield your skin from UV rays year round, more time outdoors means your hair and scalp need protection too-and color-treated stands are especially susceptible to damage and fading. Shiseido’s convenient formula ($30; nordstrom.com) can be sprayed on all three areas, and won't leave a greasy residue behind.
