    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

You guys, Kim Kardashian West needs our help.

On Jan. 31, Kim K. rallied her Twitter followers—the 50 million people who know her best—to recommend a bedtime read.

“Any good books I should start reading? I love reading before I fall asleep and need a new book,” she tweeted.

Kardashian West followed up her initial tweet with a big announcement: She's starting a book club with Chrissy Teigen and hair stylist Jen Atkin:

As for the trio's first selection? The mother of two convinced her friends to take on Betty J. Eadie's Embraced by the Light ($7; amazon.com), a nonfiction book about a woman's near-death experience that Kardashian West read in January—just a few months after her traumatic Paris robbery.

As a result of her call to action, we here at InStyle headquarters took it upon ourselves to provide the reality star with a few recommendations.

Below, nine books we think Kim K.W. would enjoy reading (and discussing with Teigen and Atkin).

Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

"When you’re a Kardashian, escapism is probably pretty difficult to achieve—I mean, your life is most people’s idea of an escape. But when her own reality gets to be too much, Kim K. should crack open Kevin Kwan’s magnum opus, the extravagantly extravagant Crazy Rich Asians—it’s probably the only book in the world that would make the diamond grill-wearing reality star feel comparatively low-maintenance and frugal." —Isabel Jones, Digital Editorial Assistant

"My mom read me Matilda by Roald Dahl when I was little and she loved it as much as I did! I can totally picture Kim, Saint, and North getting in a big snuggle pile and enjoying nightly installments of Matilda and Miss Honey's adventures like my mom and I did." —Katie Donbavand, Associate Producer

Lost Girls by Robert Kolker

"When The Case of: JonBenét Ramsey was airing on CBS, I was not the only person on my Twitter feed wildly reacting to the documentary in 140 characters or less—Kim Kardashian was too. Glad to know I’m not totally alone in my obsession with cold cases and true crime outside of the weird, ongoing group text I have with my friends. If Kim is eager to dive into another cold case, I’d recommend Lost Girls: An Unsolved American Mystery by Robert Kolker, which is focused around the search for the Long Island serial killer. Kim, put the kids to bed, read this, THEN CALL ME SO I CAN HEAR YOUR THEORIES. Between the two of us, we might just crack this case wide open." —Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

"This story follows six half-brothers and sisters over the course of 40-something years and they have more drama in their lives than all the Kar-Jenners combined. Delving into some fictional familial drama would provide her with some much-needed escapism." —Jane Asher, Digital Editorial Assistant

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

SHOP IT

"Kim K. has a pro team to keep her home looking immaculate but there's something in organizing your own belongings yourself. Remember when she asked, "Is it so bad to keep things?" in that classic KUWTK episode where Kanye gave her closet a makeover? Marie Kondo’s bestselling book teaches you to sort through your possessions and let go of excess baggage—literally and figuratively." —Mari Kasanuki, Associate News Editor
