    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).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.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

After the fans picked their favorites at the People's Choice Awards earlier this week, it was time for the professionals to have their say at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards, held at the Santa Monica Civic Center. Nominees Angelina Jolie (in Max Azria) and Brad Pitt caused their usual red carpet frenzy, though the stunning actress explained that we won't be seeing much of her on the red carpet once awards season is over. "I am going to work a lot less," Jolie told reporters at the ceremony, which was broadcast live on VH1. "I may work for a few months, but if I do I will probably then take another year and a half off."

"I didn't think I was going to win. I really didn't. When you’re nominated against Meryl Streep, you just assume it's not possible," exclaimed Anne Hathaway, who tied with acting legend Streep for the highly-coveted Best Actress award. Among the leading ladies who congratulated Hathaway (in Gianfranco Ferre) on her big win was Penelope Cruz (in Yves Saint Laurent).
