    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.

Credit: Courtesy Proenza Schouler; Courtesy Altuzarra; Fernanda Calfat/WireImage; Courtesy Valentino

1. Take a break from body-con and select a loose silhouette that's got graceful movement. Runway inspiration: Proenza Schouler (far left)

3. Opt for a semi-sheer blouse and pleated skirt to achieve lady-and-the-vamp status. Runway inspiration: Gucci (second from right)

I Resolve to: Break My Neutrals-Only Habit

Fashion's new crop of left-of-center shades—think pistachio green or over-the-top Barbie pink—provides a dash of intrigue and irony with their vibrance. Style with plenty of slouch and an insouciant attitude for an eye-catching statement that doesn't appear inordinately eager. Runway inspiration (from left): Altuzarra, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, Edun, Dior

I Resolve to: Adopt a Work Uniform That'll Get Me a Promotion

Wear red. The heat-seeking hue conjures qualities people admire in a leader, namely strength, passion, and power. Stick to streamlined silhouettes, like a sheath dress, to keep the tone office-appropriate, or inject a shot of the color via a crimson bag. Runway inspiration: Boss
