    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

Most 19-year-olds are more concerned with class schedules than couture. But Hailee Steinfeld isn’t your average teen.

After her breakout role and subsequent Oscar nom for 2010’s True Grit, Steinfeld followed up her big screen debut with turns in cult classics like Romeo & Juliet and Pitch Perfect 2. Then this summer, she seamlessly transitioned into pop star territory with her first album, Haiz, gifting us with the delightful ear worm that is “Love Myself.” And did we mention she’s also a founding member of Taylor Swift’s squad?

Next up, she’s turning back the clock only slightly to portray a hoodie-wearing high school student in the coming-of-age dramedy, TheEdge of Seventeen. While her character struggles with the cringeworthy ups and downs of adolescence in the film, in real life, it seems that Steinfeld somehow managed to skip over all of those awkward years—at least in the style department.

Need proof? Keep scrolling to see the star put the Steinfeld spin on everything from Michael Kors to Monse. And check out The Edge of Seventeen in theaters Nov. 18.

She may have launched a million squad goals hanging with Gigi, Karlie, and Taylor at the MTV VMAs, but we think her minimalist Stella McCartney jumpsuit is pretty epic all on its own. "I'm always looking to try something new," she said. "I loved it, so I went with it." A Jennifer Fisher choker and Jill Milan clutch also shine bright.

It took a little over a month for Prabal Gurung to create the graphic silk ball gown Steinfeld wore to the Met Gala, and the actress was involved from the first sketch to the final fitting. "She is a longtime friend, so we work really well together," says the designer.

"I love unexpected combinations on the red carpet," says Sally LaPointe, who designed this sequined sapphire dress with an airy organza skirt that Steinfeld chose for the Streamy Awards. "Hailee is the perfect mix of classic and bold."
