    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).  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

Despite what you're told growing up, you don't have to settle for just one career. Doctors can be bloggers, actors can be singers, and athletes can design some pretty cool pieces of clothing.

Take Naomi Osaka, for example. While the tennis star has made quite the name for herself on the court, she recently added the title of designer to her resume. During New York Fashion Week, Osaka showed off her collaboration with the brand Adeam and even attended a few fashion shows for the first time. 

Luckily, Osaka was able to take InStyle along for the ride to get an inside look into her fashion week adventures. She revealed her getting ready process, why she chose the outfits she did and shared some highlights from her week.

What was the vibe like when getting ready?

Credit: Samantha Brown for Naomi Osaka

"Vincent Oquendo, who does my makeup, was the resident DJ, and we played a mix of soul and R&B while getting ready. Since getting glammed up isn't part of my everyday job, we like to take days like this lightly and have a ton of fun together. For hair, Sacha Breuer, and I wanted to play with different looks you don't normally see on me. From braids to wavy, to straight and long, we really wanted to complement each look with a different hair look. You don't get to attend NYFW every day, so for us, it was about really exploring different sides."

What were you snacking on?

Credit: Samantha Brown for Naomi Osaka

"I started my NYFW journey with my own Adeam collection and started that day with smoked salmon on a bagel, so that trend continued for day 2. I love smoked salmon its one of my favorite morning meals. In Japan, fish for breakfast is a staple, so its something I am used to and starts my day off. Hats off to the Langham Hotel — loved the room service."

What types of outfits did you wear?

Credit: Samantha Brown for Naomi Osaka

"I worked with Law Roach for this NYFW, and we had a blast choosing outfits. There were amazing styles and some really cool jumpsuits and shapes, but I ended up with a Coach trench as I loved the red color and felt it was perfect for the rainy weather in NYC. We paired snake boots with it for the Coach show, which added another element of fun to the look and something a bit unexpected.""For the Prabal Gurung show, I choose a pantsuit, and I absolutely loved the geometric aspect. When I look at fashion, I like to look at the pieces in terms of art, and the lines on the suit jacket were amazing. We added some really special jewelry and necklaces, paired with earrings designed by Tasaka. I think for me, it was fun putting together a full look with Law, Vincent, and Sacha so that the outfits, accessories, and glam all made sense and were all different."

Do you wear a lot of color normally?

Credit: Samantha Brown for Noami Osaka

"I love color, and I don't wear it as often as I should. But I do play around with it. Even if it's an accent on a Nike sneaker, a pop of color is fun and something I love both on and off the court. For Coach, Law and I chose a big pop of color not only with the trench but also with the bag. We also added color in the makeup looks; Vincent Oquendo and I discussed using a bareMinerals Hydrasmoothing Lipstick in a bold color to match the trench. We had a lot of fun."

Where did you find inspiration for your own collection with Adeam?

Credit: Samantha Brown for Naomi Osaka

"I love all types of art. Since both Hanako [Maeda] and I share our interest in art and a connection to Japanese culture, we wanted to incorporate these elements into the collection. My collection fuses traditional and modern Japanese elements, and what we hoped to create was wearable art. We tried to add in traditional Japanese elements like the origami-like drapes and the architectural seams of the shirting tops and dresses. I really wanted to create a more modern, Harajuku girl 'kawaii' aesthetic."
