    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, Jessica Chastain

January, Jessica Chastain; 2015 Covers

The Oscar-nominated actress had two new films in theaters when she appeared on our January cover: Interstellar and A Most Violent Year. Wearing a vibrant top and trousers by Celine (with a necklace by Chloe and bracelets by Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane, Tiffany & Co., and Vita Fede), Chastain told us how she values playing substantial, interesting women: "As an audience member I go to the movies a lot, and I want to see women portrayed like the ones I know-women who are really intelligent and strong and vulnerable," she said. "I'm not interested in playing a stereotype."

February, Jennifer Aniston

Jenifer Aniston February 2015 InStyle Cover

For her sixth appearance on InStyle's cover, a glowing Aniston wore a red dress by Valentino, earrings by Neil Lane, and a cuff by H. Stern. Inside the magazine, the 46-year-old star confessed that her 40s were her best years yet. "It may be harder to shed those extra pounds," she shared, "but all of this stuff (she circles her head with her fingers) is fabulous. Just thinking about the girl I was at 20-something or even 30-something-there were so many questions, so many worries, so much wasted brain space on things that really don't matter."

March, Kerry Washington

March 2015 Cover Kerry Washington

The new mom and Scandal star appeared on our March 2015 cover wearing pastel Salvatore Ferragamo, signaling the return of spring. Inside, Washington talked about her hit show, her brand-new baby daughter, and the rise of feminism. "The world is shifting," she told us. "It's no longer about powerful men and the women behind them. It's about powerful people, men and women both."

When the Oscar winner appeared on our April cover (wearing a bright orange top by Ralph Lauren Collection), she had a new baby, a new husband, and a slew of new roles, including Insurgent and A Little Chaos, to be excited about. Inside, she dished about motherhood, friendship, and the secret to her success. "Never, ever take it for granted," Winslet told us. "You can never stop learning. You need to keep pushing yourself, keep trying to get better at what you do, even if it scares you."

For her first-ever appearance as an InStyle cover girl, Kaling wore a navy Michael Kors dress with floral accents. We fell hard for the hilarious actress-author-producer (talk about a triple threat!) after she spilled candid details about her life, career, and occasional splurges. "After Season 1 of The Mindy Project, I bought myself a men’s Rolex," Kaling says, "just because it made me feel a little gangster." That she is.

At our July cover shoot, new mom Zoë Saldana snacked on Whole Foods trail mix and sang "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics, all while her twin boys, Cy and Bowie, hung out nearby. "I had forgotten how much fun shoots can be!" The actress said. On the cover, Saldana wore a Dolce & Gabbana dress, bracelet and ring by Dior Fine Jewelry, and rings by Jane Taylor Jewelry. Inside the issue, she discussed being a positive role model for other women: "I love what I do as an artist, but to me it's very important that I leave a mark, that I leave something substantial for women to sort of hold onto and be able to use."

August, Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria August 2015 InStyle Cover

Inside this issue, Longoria showed off her serious side, talking politics, charity, and the challenges (and triumphs) of producing television shows. At our cover shoot at a private estate and beach in Oyster Bay, N.Y., the 40-year-old #girlboss shed her self-professed “control freak” tendencies and got a little playful, rocking out (and singing along) to tracks like “Your Love” by The Outfield and Blondie’s “The Tide Is High,” all while letting her petite-yet-curvy frame do the work in looks by Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler, and Burberry, as seen on our cover.

The Oscar-winning actress graced our much-anticipated September issue in head-to-toe Dior, and appeared inside our pages in stripped-down classics—including flats. She stated with a smile, "I was very happy that the majority of the looks were not shot in heels, because I am a sane person."

The sassy and beautiful actress appeared on our October cover in a Jason Wu dress, accessorized with earrings by Sidney Garber, and a bracelet by Aurélie Bidermann. “The shoot today was a lot of fun,” Vergara stated. “We covered a lot of looks in a very small amount of time so that’s always very exciting to have so many changes of clothes.”

Stefani modeled couture looks by Atelier Versace, Chanel, Valentino, and Carolina Herrera for our December issue. A designer herself for more than a decade, the musician loved getting up close with the intricate designs. “Being able to wear couture clothes is really special,” she says. “These are works of art, and I get to play around like I’m a big Barbie.”
