    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

Kim Kardashian won raves in our office for her look at Sunday night's MTV Movie Awards (above far right). From her tousled layers to her eye-catching statement necklace, the reality star hit all the marks. But anyone who looks at the Internet knows this isn’t always the case for the mom-to-be—especially since she clearly hasn’t let her first pregnancy derail her fondness for tight clothes and stilettos. Still, not every one of her maternity looks has been a miss! We rounded up her best bump-baring ensembles and the style lessons any expectant mom can learn from them. Take a look.MORE:

Red Hot Mama-to-Be

Kardashian looked curvaceous and sexy showing off her burgeoning belly in a tight maxi dress. (And look-flats!) Follow her comfort cue by choosing a similar style in a bright color.

Point It Out

It seems Kardashian’s necklace is almost pointing to her belly (as if the world didn’t already know it was there)! This eye-catching detail helps elongate her look and ensures that her figure doesn’t get lost in this all-black ensemble.

Long and Lean

Kardashian looked casual yet chic in black skinny jeans and a long neutral coat. Follow her lead and use longer silhouettes to help balance out your bump.

Peek-a-boo

Who says pregnant women can’t-or shouldn’t-look sexy? Certainly not Kim! Take a cue from her cutouts that reveal just enough skin and a length that keeps the look demure.

One and Done

Sometimes, all it takes is one piece to look stylish. Here, a feminine yet structured blazer helps Kardashian look put together in an otherwise basic black outfit.

Eyes Here, Please

Kardashian shifts the focus from her bump to her bosom while still managing to keep the look refined. Glamorous embellishments draw the eye up, while a slim fit elongates her torso.

Fun and Flirty

Kardashian doesn’t let a pregnancy slow down her style, and neither should you! Try incorporating fun and flirty details into your outfit like Kardashian did with a lace top and leather leggings.

Stay Cutting Edge

If you like style with a bit more risk, don’t let a growing belly intimidate you. Even impending motherhood doesn’t keep Kardashian from showing some edge with details like leather and cutouts.

Details, Details

High-end elements like a cape, elbow-high gloves and sleek shoes keep Kardashian on-trend, proving that a stylish maternity look is all in the details.

Put Peplum to Work

Here she puts peplum to work for her changing body, and so can you: The cinched waist accentuates curves, while the peplum conceals a burgeoning bump beneath it.

Play the Contrast Game

Walking hand-in-hand with boyfriend Kanye West (not pictured), Kardashian looks modern and ladylike. Try on her contrasting look of a slim pencil skirt paired with a top that's long and full.

Menswear Makes It

Put on a pair of tuxedo pants with boyfriend blazer and you’ll be just as sleek and minimalist as Kardashian is in a black-and-white menswear-inspired jacket and pants.

Go Deep

Leggings may be a pregnant girl’s best friend, but that doesn’t mean what you wear up top has to be as relaxed. Here, Kardashian’s belted waist defines her bump while lace and a deep v-neck adds some sex appeal.

Head for Cover

You can’t go wrong with a LBD to accentuate the curves created by your LBB (little baby bump). With her body-hugging black sheath, Kardashian proves you can still look sexy while-almost-completely covered up.

No sign of frumpy maternity wear on this mom-to-be. Streamlined separates keep Kardashian looking effortlessly on-trend.

Block Party

The reality star looks comfortable and cool-two must-haves for someone who’s pregnant!-while wearing a trendy colorblock sheath. Colorblocking is a hot trend, so pulling off a similar look should be as easy as taking candy from a baby!
