    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 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

January, Kate Hudson

InStyle Covers - January 2009, Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson, then 29, was co-starring in Bride Wars with Anne Hathaway. She wore a beaded tank by Etro, silver bangles by Stephen Dweck and a Fred Leighton ring. The beautiful actress told us, "I hate the term 'hippie chic.' Let's face it, hippies are not chic. I should know, I married one."

February, Kate Winslet

InStyle Covers - February 2009, Kate Winslet

The double Golden Globe winner, then 33, was starring in Revolutionary Road and The Reader. She graced our cover wearing Herve Leger by Max Azria dress, Cartier earrings, a ring by DVF by H. Stern, Fred Leighton cuff, and bangles by Cartier and David Yurman. Winslet admitted: "I don't feel like a movie star in my life at all... I don't have my own plane. I don't have a chef or a trainer. It's very much a hat that you wear, and as soon as the event's over, the hat comes off. I'm back to being me and being Mummy, and that's my priority."

The multitasking actress appeared on the March 2009 cover wearing a rich, green Alberta Ferretti dress to promote her latest film, All About Steve, which she both starred in and produced. The body confident star, then 44, gave us a dose of inspiration in her interview saying, "I've never thought about getting breast implants. I like the way clothes hang on me. I'm athletic and have plenty of booty."

The newly married actress-producer-humanitarian-mother was starring in Cirque du Freak and working as an ambassador for UNICEF when she appeared in our 2009 Color Issue. "If I had to wear one color for the rest of my life... it'd be blue," Hayek, then 42, promised.

May, Jennifer Garner

InStyle Covers - May 2009, Jennifer Garner

The 37-year-old busy mom was starring in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and This Side of the Truth in 2009 when she appeared on our May 2009 issue in a Calvin Klein dress and Cartier bracelet and ring. How did the multitasking mom get everything done? With help from her Oscar-winning husband, of course! "It's the morning combo of nursing and trying to get Violet to preschool that's such a challenge. Ben will do the school run. He dresses her and does her hair. It's pretty funny."

She wore a sexy, gold Missoni dress and gushed about her new best role yet: a mom! "Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life," Romijn said. "All I want to do is stare into my babies' eyes nonstop."

July, Michelle Pfeiffer

InStyle Covers - July 2009, Michelle Pfeiffer

A radiant Michelle Pfeiffer was our July 2009 cover girl, appearing in a Versace dress and a Tom Binns necklace. The 51-year-old actress was excited about her newly acquired milestone age saying, "Once you turn 50, you feel grateful you made it. Because you’ve lived long enough that you've lost people you love. You realize you’re on your second half, that your time is finite here. I want to make the time I have count."

Promoting her new films The Ugly Truth and Five Killers, cover girl Heigl, then 30, appeared in a navy Roberto Cavalli dress. She dispensed some sage dating advice in our interview including her number one rule: be yourself! "Isn't it better to be alone than pretend you’re someone else? Be you. Find you. Be happy with that."

September, Jennifer Lopez

InStyle Covers - September 2009, Jennifer Lopez

Mogul Jennifer Lopez, then 40, was working overtime promoting her rom-com The Back-Up Plan, launching her eighth perfume, and beginning work on a new album. She managed to squeeze in an ultra-glam photo shoot for our Fall Fashion issue wearing a sculptural Jil Sander dress. Is there anything J.Lo can't do? "I'm terrible with computers," she confessed. "I never go near one; I don't like them. I barely know how to log on, so I'm never online."

InStyle Covers - December 2009, Taylor Swift

Our teenage cover girl (then just 19!) wore an Oscar de la Renta and sounded wise beyond her young years in our interview, "The lesson I've learned most in life is that you're always going to know more in your future than you know now."
