    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.

Most celebrities date their own kind (aka other celebs), and it makes sense. Being in the spotlight is kinda a lot, and having someone who just gets it is probably a welcome comfort. But some stars look outside their Hollywood zip code for love, and we're rounding them up. This list = proof that even us mere mortals have a chance to date the likes of Brad Pitt.

Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso

Matt Damon met Luciana Barroso when she was bartending in Miami, and he was smitten. "We ended up at a bar where my wife was the bartender. I literally saw her across a crowded room,"Ā Damon said. "I don’t know how else our paths would have crossed if that didn’t happen. The moral is that when you’re tired, suck it up and go to the bar because you might meet your wife."

Aaron Paul and Lauren Parsekian

Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul met his wife, Kind Campaign co-founded Lauren Parsekian, at Coachella, and they had their first kiss on a carousal. "She just wants the world to be a better place," Aaron said. "Our first date after Coachella was a trip to Vegas. We bought our first child a baby leather jacket from AllSaints. We also jumped into a cab and said, 'Take us to the nearest chapel. We're getting married.' The Little White Chapel ended up being closed. We probably would have gone through with it. It would have been a pretty funny story. But I'm happy we got married when we did — aĀ year later."

Amal Clooney might be a household name now, but before becoming a Clooney, she was a relatively un-famous (but deeply impressive) human rights barrister. "She’s an amazing human being," Clooney said. "And she’s caring. And she also happens to be one of the smartest people I’ve ever met. And she’s got a great sense of humor. There’s a number of reasons why.ā€

Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe

Eddie Redmayne's wife is in PR, and they've actually known each other since Redmayne's Eaton days. "We’d been good friends for 12 years — and we had a wonderful evening and I suddenly said, 'You don’t want to come to Florence with me next week, do you?'" he explained of their first date. "She said, 'That’s absurd, you don’t mean it.' I said, 'Yes I do!' So our first proper date was in Florence. That was three years ago and we couldn’t be happier."
