    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 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.

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.

For the most part, spring is already here, with seasonal ad campaigns out and new arrivals in stores—and if you live out West. But for those us who reside on the East Coast, spring seems like a lifetime away (we mean, come on, it's snowing right now here in N.Y.C.). Pretty floral pieces, sheer fabrics, the thought of bare legs outside—just all things spring—have us wishing for warmer weather, stat.

But fight it as we might, we're powerless in the face of Mother Nature. And so, we've decided to make the best of a bad situation and introduce spring trends to our wardrobe now. We looked to celebrities like Olivia Munn (above) for inspiration. She eschewed skinnies and worked the wide-leg pant trend (a major silhouette for spring), while sticking to the same color family, styling her cobalt pair with a baby blue topper.

From the '70s trend to little white dresses, here are all the ways to pull off spring trends now:

Celebrity inspiration: Emma Stone

Playfully experimenting with spring-ready prints can seem a smidge off when there's still snow on the ground. But that's not to say you can't. For a more appropriate appraoch, stick with classic patterns (think: stripes and polka dots) in a refined color palette. Shop the look below:

Tibi sweater, $285; modaoperandi.com. River Island skirt, $15; riverisland.com. Banana Republic pumps, $148; bananarepublic.com.

Celebrity inspiration: Katie Holmes

The '70s aesthetic is a major trend for spring. But as pretty as Bohemian maxis and sleeveless shifts are, they're not exactly conducive to cold-weather dressing. Luckily, Holmes found a combo that can stand up to the chill. Shop the look below:

Whistles turtleneck sweater dress, $300; whistles.com. Cos wool coat, $225; cosstores.com. Janessa Leone wool felt hat, $165; janessaleone.com. Sigerson Morrison, $239; sigersonmorrison.com.

Get ripped for spring—with distressed denim, that is. For chillier days, pair your boyfriend jeans with knits and stacked booties. For tricky in-between weather, follow in Miller's footsteps and offset the edge with sophisticated elements, like a sharp blazer and sleek accessories. Shop the look below: 

H&M tee, $25; hm.com. Mango blazer, $80; mango.com. Rag & Bone jeans, $265; net-a-porter.com. Sophie Hulme, $295; shopbop.com. Asos mules, $83; asos.com.

Celebrity inspiration: Kim Kardashian

A trench coat is a classic wardrobe staple, revered for its versatile in-between weather (and water-resistant) fabric.
