    The 35 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.

Let Hair Dry Naturally

Credit: Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

Between the natural elements and chlorine, summer can take its toll on your hair. With a few simple steps, you can protect your locks into the fall.
Why add more heat to hair by blow-drying it? Celebrity colorist Nelson Chan of Nelson J Salon in Beverly Hills, who works with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Heather Graham and Alicia Silverstone, offers these tips for air-drying: "If you have long hair, apply a light hold gel, comb through hair and twist it with your finger tips to get a soft curl. For short hair, comb a texturizing paste through wet hair to give body, texture and hold." To get curlier tresses, he suggests braiding sections of hair, letting air-dry, then remove the braids. "Smaller braids produce more curl, while larger braids produce bigger waves."

Cover Up

"Sun damage is caused by ultraviolet light, which breaks apart the melanin pigment in your hair, so whether you use a hat, scarf or big umbrella, cover it," says stylist Stuart Gavert of Beverly Hills salon Gavert Atelier (who has worked with Christina Applegate, Lisa Kudrow, and Emily Blunt). "Also, if you're going to be in the sun for any length of time and don't want to cover it, put conditioner on it. It's a great look when you slick your hair back and wear huge sunglasses!" Another of Gavert's tips is to apply sunscreen to a Q-tip and run it along your part to avoid a scalp burn.

Treat Hair at Night

Stylist Rachel Lindy, owner of M. Murphy salon in Venice Beach, says that using treatment products religiously through the summer will prevent sun abuse, which causes dull color and dry, brittle hair. But you shouldn't treat your hair only when you're in the sun. Lindy recommends slathering Ojon balm on before bed. "Put it on dry hair and sleep with it on, then wash the hair in the morning and your hair will get so moist and shiny," says Lindy. If you're concerned about dirtying your pillowcase, wear a shower cap.

Protect with a Ponytail

Credit: Mark Sullivan/WireImage

"Wear the hair in a ponytail with no part to prevent the scalp being exposed," says Guy Riggio, senior stylist at Serge Normant at John Frieda salon in L.A. An easy way to style the hair into a style like Emmy Rossum's, is to add leave-in conditioner to your locks, comb through and pull hair into a ponytail. Make sure to apply sunblock along the hairline once your hair is pulled back.

Use a Mild Shampoo

"Use a shampoo that is more mild than harsh, such as a sulfate-free shampoo, to prevent dryness," says Nelson Chan. Also, lay off the washing. "Women tend to over-shampoo hair in the summer, stripping it of moisture, so rinsing every other day, rather than shampooing, may be healthier."

Lighten with Tea

Hydrate the Hair

Hairstylist Campbell McAuley, who has worked with Cameron Diaz, Rachel Bilson and Kate Bosworth, offers these three tips for hydrating the hair: "Drink lots of water. Do a last one-minute cold water rinse after you've washed your hair. Use a product to nourish the scalp and hair with Omega-3 oils and cool it with aloe and lavender." He recommends the CTONICS Tranquility to achieve the cooling process.

Prepare Your Hair

Stylist Oscar Blandi says the first thing to do to prep hair for summer is get a trim. "Even if you want to keep your hair long, trims every two to three months will really keep your hair healthy." He also recommends at-home treatments once a week. "Fango Mud Treatment will get the hair healthy and ready for the abuse the sun causes."

Wear a Swim Cap

There's something fun and retro about a swim cap, but most importantly, they keep pool chemicals at bay. "Chlorine is destructive to hair, especially if it's chemically treated," says Oscar Blandi. "It dries it out and strips all the natural particles from your hair."
