    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.

Cutouts

If cutouts seem to racy for day, consider their location. Strategically placed around the neckline of a covered-up style a la Jennifer Lawrence and Chloe Moretz, these peek-a-boo touches are day-to-night sexy (and easily concealed under a blazer, when needed).

What's more classically day-to-night than a go-to blazer? Throw one on to automatically dress up or down your ensemble, whether it be a printed skirt like Olivia Palermo's or Sarah Jessica Parker's skinny jeans.

Crisp Shifts

Whether it's an afternoon garden party or evening cocktails, you'll be sitting pretty in laidback silhouettes like Kate Mara and Kerry Washington's. The classic shape is playful yet refined, making it a sophisticated choice for both occasions.

Cropped Tops

The secret to showing midriff before the sun goes down: a long skirt that only shows a hint of skin. Paired with Diane Kruger's full silhouette or Jaime King's pencil, the modest bottom keeps the abbreviated blouse from looking too daring for day.

Zippers detach the lower panel of this Mango coat so you can wear it short for day or step out in the longer version for more formal settings like Naomi Watts and Jessica Alba.

Short Suits

Shorts might seem like a casual approach, but teamed with a coordinating topper the look is so P.M. Case in point: Ginnifer Goodwin and Ashley Greene's tailored sets.

Printed Pants
