    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.

L.A.-based jewelry designer Rebecca de Ravenel was raised in the Bahamas and considers the islands home, so it’s no surprise that her jewelry has a bright, sunny look to it—sure to enhance the mood of any wearers. (And earn you a ton of compliments.) Her Les Bonbons earrings have become a fashion must, and have been seen on the ears of everyone from your chicest friend to Selena Gomez. Let de Ravenel transport you to a Bahamian escape with her summery packing list detailing what she brings on a trip home—no shoes required. Scroll down for her picks and packing tips.

Where to?The Bahamas is home...sun and sanity!

How many bags?I have been using the same luggage forever, although I just got a Globe-Trotter suitcase that I am looking forward to breaking in with stickers from travels.

Over-packer or under-packer?It depends on where I am going, if I am going home (to the Bahamas) I will essentially bring myself, I live in a bathing suit and have a closet full of caftans. When I am “en route” to a city, I have never been known to travel light.

What’s in the bag?

I am always in a long dress, it is sort of my uniform. Recently I have been wearing a lot of Lisa Marie Fernandez, her linen rick rack dresses are some of my favorites. I also love Natalie Martin dresses—they travel so well, they are pretty and light and very often do not need ironing which is key. No matter where I am going I always pack a Racil Tuxedo suit, her cut is a perfect fit and beyond chic for a night out. That and a For Restless Sleepers number and you have all your bases covered. I usually go barefoot, although if I am forced to go for dinner then I will throw on some Tabitha Simmons espadrilles or a Rene Caovilla flat sandal. I’ll bring my natural raffia Lolli Basket, a Marysia one piece, a Panama Hat, and an earring a day, plus tons of sunscreen and my new pale pink L.G.RĀ glasses that have my initials.

Beauty bag

I just bought aĀ gingham Prada pouch on my trip to Japan, I am slightly obsessed with gingham at the moment. Inside you will always find a bottle of Huile de Magnolia from Leonor Greyl, a Mason Pearson hairbrush, Fresh Sugar tinted lip balm and a Nars Blush.

BEST PACKING ADVICE?

I am just about the worst person to ask as I usually am the girl checking 3 bags…but I am going to say DON’T OVERPACK because you never end up wearing half of the things you think you will—lay it out and try it on, don’t just throw it in!

WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL AIRPLANE OUTFIT?

Stella McCartney pajamas and a vintage Yves Saint Laurent jacket.

Shop it: 1.Ā Prada Gingham Cosmetic Pouch, $308;Ā buyma.us.Ā 2.Ā Huile de Magnolia from Leonor Greyl, $59;Ā nordstrom.com.Ā 3.Ā Mason Pearson Hairbrush, $68;Ā net-a-porter.com.Ā 4.Ā Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Balm, $24;Ā nordstrom.com.Ā 5.Ā Nars Blush, $30;Ā sephora.com.
