    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).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.

As the star of Freeform’s supernatural series Shadowhunters, Katherine McNamara is no stranger to wearing cool costumes. But at New York Comic Con this weekend, the 20-year-old actress traded in the uniform of her badass human-angel hybrid character, Clary Fray, and was instead surrounded by fans decked out in fantastical getups of their own.

We teamed up with McNamara for a behind-the-scenes look at her entire Comic Con experience, from primping with her glam squad (hairstylist Sami Knight and makeup artist Megan Lanoux) to hitting the Hammerstein Ballroom stage for a panel with her Shadowhunters co-stars, during which they dished all about the show’s upcoming second season.

Scroll through to see McNamara’s exclusive New York Comic Con diary for InStyle.
