    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

So much thought must go into planning the perfect date—venue, budget, atmosphere. But for us, the most critical task is, of course, putting together a killer outfit. We couldn’t think of a better example of someone who has mastered date-night dressing than supermodel Ashley Graham. She mixes sleek separates, rocks sexy body-con silhouettes, and experiments with bold color to achieve a polished look that’s never complicated but always a showstopper.

VIDEO: Date Night Looks Inspired by Ashley Graham

Read on to see seven of her top hits—plus snag ideas for creating your own shopping list.

Long-Sleeve T and Pencil Skirt

Pairing a slim-fit T-shirt with a faux-leather pencil skirt is genius! It’s not as expected as a dress, and it still skims your frame, giving you a smart yet more relaxed look.

Modern LBD

An off-the-shoulder style draws attention to your face and collarbone, while the low cut shows off your décolletage. If you’d like to cinch your waist, try adding a belt, as Graham does here.

Shoulder Cut-Out

The cut-out trend shows no signs of slowing down. Go for a dress that shows a sliver of your shoulders. It's a great way to test out the look without exposing too much.

Attached Choker

Credit: Brent N. Clarke/FilmMagic

Chokers are of the moment, but when it comes to the hottest trends, the attached choker is the leader of the pack, appearing on bodysuits, tanks, and dresses alike. The neckline on this dress is nearly off the shoulder as well, proving once again that exposing the collarbone is just as sexy as showing a little leg.

Spaghetti-Strap Slip Dress

A cami dress is a smart investment piece. You can wear it alone when it’s warm, and when the temperature drops, you can layer a blazer on top or a blouse or thin turtleneck underneath.

LRD (Little Red Dress)

Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo

Warning: Do not wear this dress if you don’t want to look smoking hot! A red body-con will draw attention to those sexy curves, but be sure to wear proper undergarments, as panty and bra lines will drag the look down.

Body-Con and Blazer

Nothing says chic quite like a crisp white blazer. Any basic dress is elevated when you drape one over your shoulders as a cape.
