    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.

, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley mingled with some real life gossip girls at the grand opening party for Juicy Couture's fifth Avenue flagship store in New York City. "They're so cute. Mostly they want to take a picture with me and they want me to tell them what Chace Crawford is really like," Szohr said of the Upper East Side teens who flooded in to get a first look at the label's new digs. And while navigating the sea of fans may have been a little complicated, the comfy clothes weren't. "I changed into this on the way here from another event and I hadn't even tried it on," Szohr said of her green frock. "That's what I love about Juicy-it's so easy!"

Between showings, guests like Nicole Richie, Brooke Shields and Jenna Elfman kicked up their Prada heels against a backdrop of ink-drawn flowers and nymphs as L.A. nightlife king Brent Bolthouse played DJ. "I’ve loved Prada since I was 15 years old," said new mom Richie (in sister label Miu Miu) of her lifelong obsession. "I love Prada!"

"I know what happens, so I'm not really missing anything," said Leighton Meester, who skipped an evening at home watching Gossip Girlto help fashion house Yves Saint Laurent celebrate its partnership with New York's Metropolitan Opera House at the opening night gala performance of Donizetti's La Fille du RƩgiment. But Meester's evening was right out of a GG script: The actress joined Emmy Rossum, Eva Mendes and Naomi Campbell for an evening of cuisine and culture that wasn't considered officially over until the last glass of Louis Roederer champagne was empty.

"We don't need art, but we cannot live without it," declared Karl Lagerfeld at the opening of Chanel's Mobile Art pavilion in New York City's Central Park. Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Bosworth and Eve were among the designer's devotees who made their way inside artist Zaha Hadid's extra-terrestrial modular museum to get a first look at installations inspired by Chanel's iconic 2.55 quilted handbag. "It's hard to deny the perfection of the Chanel bag," sighed Parker, who posed next to artist Sylvie Fleury's larger-than-life rendering of the iconic purse-which contained an oversized Chanel compact. Like many of her fellow guests, the Sex and The City star donned the label just for the occasion.
