    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

So with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we decided to ask celebrities about the famous faces that they fell for when they were younger.

Scroll down to find out who 10 stars swooned over back in the day.

Chrissy Teigen

“Alex Rodriguez. I grew up in Seattle, and at the time he was 18 or 19 when he was playing, so he was such a young buck. He was my first crush. John and I saw him at Soho House the other day and I had never seen him in person before, and John is very well aware. He was like, ‘Your man is over there!’ And I was so embarrassed. You just never think you are going to run into those people. But John’s was Tatiana Ali—I'll call him out on that one, too. He had posters and everything."

“Probably like most 13-year-olds, I was pretty interested in Leo [Dicaprio] in Romeo and Juliet. I think every teenage girl just thought, ‘I want that crazy kind of love,’ because you’re just starting to feel it.”

“Leo DiCaprio. When I was 13-years-old, I really thought I was going to marry him. I actually carried around a folder of pictures I had printed out from the Internet of him. I kissed his picture every night before I went to bed. I was really sure that one day we would be together."

“Growing up, Gene Wilder. He made me laugh so hard, and I just thought he was the most genius, hilarious man. He was my big crush when I was little, and Young Frankenstein is a movie I cannot wait to share with my son.”
