    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 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

correspondent Katrina Szish helped Maria pour over the racks in search of the perfect gown for Globes night. "Maria and I laughed a lot about how getting glamorous isn't as easy as it looks!" says Szish of the style session. "She wants to look and feel fantastic, but she's there to report for Access Hollywood and has no desire to shine brighter than any of the nominees." Even though the evening will be more work than play, Maria set out to find an elegant dress that will keep her looking lovely through the long night. "Maria started the fitting with a clear favorite, but after trying on the three gowns, she was legitimately perplexed," says Szish. "She needs the InStyle.com voters' help!"

Look #1

This strapless gown from Monique Lhuillier's Spring 2008 collection is simply chic. A fitted bodice and subtle layers of draped chiffon show off Maria's camera-ready figure. "The corset effect was va-va-va voom, but not over the top," says Szish. "With this gown she would wear her hair down and keep her make-up natural to balance out the sex appeal — anything else would be too much."

Look #2

This flowing turquiose one-shoulder gown from Max Azria Atelier would provide a pop of color against the red carpet. "Maria looked-and felt-like a Greek goddess in this dress," says Szish. "I love the asymmetrical trend, so the silhouette of this dress particularly appealed to me. Maria thought she might wear her hair up and off to one side in order to offset the neckline if this was her final choice."

Look #3

This empire waist chiffon gown from Monique Lhuillier features a jeweled neckline that accentuates Maria's decollete. "Maria and I agreed she would keep her accessories light with this dress. As she said, she wouldn't have to be stressed about wearing loads of diamonds and worrying about losing them!" Szish explains. "For shoes, she usually sticks with metallic strappy sandals since they work with almost everything."

At the 2007 Golden Globes Maria sizzled in a curve-hugging gown by Herve Leger. "Each of the dresses that Maria is considering for this year's Globes has such a different effect, but they are all very feminine and elegant," Szish explains. "She said she went for the vampy look last year, so she wanted to go in a different direction. She enjoys creating different red carpet personas for each event rather than playing it safe."

“I wore this dress to a party on amp#91;multi-billionaireamp#93; Paul Allen’s yacht in Cannes,” admitted Menounous, who liked her gold Dolce amp Gabbana corseted frock so much, she broke the rules and wore it a second time to host the CineVegas awards in June 2007. “I didn’t get photographed in it then, so I figured it was OK to wear it twice!”
