    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

Remember the fairy tale Cinderella, when the prince vows to marry the girl whose foot perfectly fits the glass slipper he stumbled upon? For some of us, the prince’s chance of finding his princess seems more attainable than our finding the right pair of jeans. But this fantasy doesn’t have to be fiction. Every woman can find the perfect fit, and in this case, we’re talking jeans (but by all means get yourself some fab slippers too!). Here’s how.

Jeans should fit exactly on the waist and skim over every curve. Look for a pair with a bit of Lycra (2% is common), as the stretch will help contour and control your shape. E-tailers like James Jeans, Kut from the Kloth, Lucky Brand, and NYDJ offer a range of premium denim in trendy styles that come in plus sizes. Fast-fashion retailers American Eagle Outfitters, Old Navy, and River Island have their pulse on the trends too, but they won’t break the bank. For a classic look, try Dressbarn, Levi’s, or Ralph Lauren. Their tried-and-true straight-leg and boot-cut silhouettes will balance your hips for a flattering shape. Plus-size juggernauts Addition Elle, Eloquii, Lane Bryant, Simply Be, and Torrid do what they do best—make flattering apparel especially for women with amazing curves—and this goes for their denim too.

To shop multiple brands, department store and mass retailer sites are the answer. Traditional one-stop shops like Macy’s, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue have a vast collection of brands like Marina Rinaldi and Michael Michael Kors. Full Beauty’s plus-size portal has the best of the best in curvy denim, and Target’s contemporary line Ava and Viv offers a similar look and fit for a reasonable price. Online retailer eShakti is revolutionizing the way we shop denim: Enter your measurements and select your style to create a custom pair of jeans made just for you. Now that’s what we’re talking about, the royal treatment! Scroll down to see our selections and shop your favorites … and live happily ever after.
