    The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    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 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.

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.

Occasional Real Housewives star and friend to Nicole Brown Simpson, Faye Resnick, got married in 2015, and called upon Kardashian momager Kris Jenner to officiate. Kris even did Faye a solid and hosted the wedding in her Calabasas home. "Faye, you're a beautiful woman," Kris shared during the ceremony. "But your true beauty and true radiance, your true success will not be what's accomplished in your career, but what is built in your character, your integrity and in the beliefs that you hold to every day."

When Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux tied the knot in 2015, they asked late night host Jimmy Kimmel to officiate. Theroux said having Kimmel do the honors was "the biggest blessing in the world," and that "It was exactly what you would want him to do. He was extremely funny, kept things extremely light, was extremely touching." And yes, Jimmy "cried a little bit." So cute.

Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch officiated his friends' same-sex wedding at the Hacienda Hotel in Ibiza, and it appears he got ordained just for the occasion. "It's a very private, lovely thing to be asked to do," he said. "Of course, I'm going to make a joke after it, 'I do weddings. Next will be children's parties and bat mitzvahs,' if it goes well. It's a mainly Jewish and gay audience, so hopefully they will be lenient towards me."

"She talked about how she met Holly six years ago and then how Ruben directed her in Zombieland."

Remember when Adam Levine hung up his bachelor hat and married supermodel Behati Prinsloo? Jonah Hill officiated their ceremony! The Wolf of Wall Street star has been good friends with Levine since junior high school, so it's not too crazy that he got his officiant on for the 2014 wedding. "Jonah was hysterical," a source said. "He was telling so many jokes, but then in the middle would be so sweet and sincere." Another source echoed this statement, saying, "Adam knew that he was putting himself good hands by having Jonah officiate. He and Behati set out to make this the most fun wedding that anybody had ever experienced and they truly did just that."
