    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

18 of the Most Stylish Celebrity Dads

While fathers don’t always get credit for their sartorial savvy (just think of ill-fitting dad jeans), some of them have their fashion down pat. Need proof? Just look at Ryan Gosling, dad to Esmeralda and Amada, who didn’t lose his sense of cool when he became a father in 2014. Gosling still favors tailored separates, like the hunter green suit and crisp white oxford shirt he wore sans tie to the recent The Nice Guys premiere in London. Even off duty, the actor flexes his style muscles favoring on-trend bomber jackets, easy white tees, and skinny dark jeans.

However, Gosling isn’t the only celebrity dad who takes his fashion seriously. Brad Pitt, dad to Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, is another father who is a style star. He often plays with accessories to make his outfits his own, like colored shades and unexpected ties. Case in point: his red carpet appearance at November’s The Big Short premiere in New York City.

Clearly fashion runs in the family in the Obama household, as President Barack Obama always looks sharp in his slim suits, white shirts, and blue ties. While the President favors a more traditional look, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha might have some serious competition in the casual department come next year when the Commander-in-Chief leaves office.

Ahead, Gosling, Pitt, Obama, and 15 other super stylish dads to give your own father some inspiration this Father’s Day, June 19th.

Chris Hemsworth

Like his fictional alter ego Thor, Hemsworth is a god amongst men. The way he easily mixes contradictory colors, like chocolate brown and black, is uncanny.

Channing Tatum

Doting dad Tatum can do Old Hollywood glamour like a pro, but often times it’s when the actor eschews red carpet rules (like stepping out in a suit without a tie) that we like him best.

Bale proved that a black tux doesn’t have to be boring by pairing it was an unconventional black shirt and tie. Talk about an edgy way to do menswear.

Most men can’t pull off a blazer draped over their shoulders with a gray T-shirt and sneakers, but most men aren’t Blue Ivy’s dad.

Jude Law

A fedora, white jeans, and lace-up hiking boots are statement pieces individually, but when nonchalantly worn together you have the makings of Law’s off-duty airport attire.

Orlando Bloom

The Canadian tuxedo is still a hard look to pull off for some, but Bloom did it stylishly by bulking up: He wore his denim shirt over a black zip-up and white T-shirt, only buttoning the first of the outer layer to show depth and interest.

Robert Downey Jr.

Though Downey sticks to menswear classics, like suits, for most red carpet appearances, the actor has an eye for detail. Here, he played a patterned gray suit against a checkered blue shirt, stripe tie, graphic pocket square, two-tone brown dress shoes, and colored shades. There is a method to his sartorial madness.

Tom Brady

With a supermodel wife in Gisele Bündchen, Brady was bound to pick up some fashionable pointers. While traipsing around the streets of New York City, the quarterback upped the sophistication of a pair of sneakers by marrying them with a gray knit pullover, slim jeans, newsboy cap, and dark sunglasses.

Hardy’s style mimics his gritty acting, meaning he doesn’t favor anything too precious. At the Siren Labs Solarin launch, he offset a traditional blue blazer with distressed jeans and well-worn tawny extras.
