    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

It may not have hit below freezing where you live just yet, but that doesn’t mean winter isn’t coming. Chances are you’ve probably pulled your heavy coats, sweaters, and warm seasonal accessories out from storage, so take a cue from your wardrobe prep by making sure your makeup bag is stocked and ready for the first cold front. Although you may have a set of essentials stashed in your bag now, some formulas won’t hold up when the season’s frigid temperatures wreak havoc on your skin. Just like your winter skincare regime, hydration is the major key when it comes to your makeup product lineup. Here, we’ve rounded up all the products you need to winterize your makeup bag.

Chapstick Total Hydration Lip Scrub

$5
SHOP IT

The only thing standing in the way between you and your favorite lipstick once the wind chill hits is dehydrated, flaky lips. A good scrub is key for keeping your pout smooth so that the bold shades you want to wear won’t settle into cracks and emphasize just how dry your lips really are.

We can relate: Just because chapped lip season is upon us doesn’t mean we’re willing to sacrifice our favorite bold, matte lipsticks. Whether you have a penchant for crimson or a deep plum, opt for a multitasking formula like Bite’s bullets which are packed with 12 nourishing oils such as jojoba seed and castor oils.

Sonia Kashuk Soft Focus Satin Matte Foundation

SHOP IT

Full-coverage matte foundations often have a bad rep for being cakey and feeling heavy on skin. However, a foundation with moisturizing ingredients and a soft matte finish will render pores invisible and minimize imperfections without drawing attention to winter skin.

Bobbi Brown Retouching Wand

SHOP IT

The only thing darker than Post-Daylight Savings Time evenings is the circles under your eyes. Use an illuminating concealer such as Bobbi Brown’s Retouching Wand on your under-eye area to fake a full night’s rest.

RMS BEAUTY Lip2Cheek In Demure

$36
SHOP IT

Blush is essential for livening up sad, dull winter skin, but a powder formula will settle into any dryness your complexion is experiencing. Instead, massage on a hydrating cream blush like this all-natural one infused with coconut oil, one of the beauty world’s wunderkind ingredients.

BareMinerals BareSkin Sheer Sun Serum Bronzer

SHOP IT

Just like your blush, using a powder bronzer can emphasize a dry complexion. Massage on a few drops of a liquid bronzer to evoke a healthy glow—or subtle contour if you’re glam.

Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerize In Cleopatra

$32
SHOP IT

Rather than sticking to the pastels and neon shadows that got you through summer’s heatwaves, take a cue from your winter wardrobe and stick with deeper, richer shades like jewel tones. We love this creamy easily blendable turquoise Charlotte Tilbury shade.
