    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

Zac Posen's David's Bridal Fall 2014 Collection Embodies Old Hollywood Glamour

There's a reason why celebrities select Zac Posen's creations for major red carpet appearances and prestigious awards shows. His designs never fail to deliver beautifully sculpted fantasy-level gowns, each capturing that timeless Old Hollywood glamour aesthetic. And his bridal collection for David's Bridal is no different. Posen's Truly Zac Posen fall 2014 collection marks his second capsule for the mass bridal retailer. The first one, which launched earlier this year, has been met with resounding success—to Posen's delight.

"We've sold out of styles—they're selling out right now in stores," he tells us, excitedly. "The collection is an ongoing license, so I’ve designed into 2015 already, but it’s so exciting to see the pieces and see all the work and all the fittings and all the techniques come to life."

For fall, Posen has introduced designs that boast more embroidery, a slight departure from the initial collection with its architectural shapes and cleaner lines, but the core value remains the same: "Each dress should be iconic in itself—glamorous, feminine, empowering, and regal for that one amazing day."

[wrn_tweet title="Truly Zac Posen"] "Each dress should be iconic in itself—glamorous & regal for that one amazing day." —@Zac_Posen." [/wrn_tweet]

The partnership between the two brands has given Posen access to David's Bridal's mass production capabilities and sourcing, while Posen has lent his techniques and talent. The end result: A ridiculously affordable and beautiful bridal collection, priced between $650 and $1,650. It may be a fraction of the price of a Zac Posen original, the designer didn't let it compromise the integrity or quality of his work, spending every week with the David's Bridal team redrawing, re-cutting, re-draping everything to perfection.

With the new collection comes a new silhouette (a shorter length alternative to a gown, pictured above), a bias-cut gown (also pictured above) that's nostalgic of one of Posen's iconic pieces, and a four-piece shoe launch that took a year to make. "I was obsessed with the interior, padding, and balance," Posen explains. "A great shoe, even an expensive one, should not have more than a five second wobble. I was tugging on heels, doing crazy stuff, like imagining my dogs attacking them, to see if they would last."

Click ahead to take in the five Truly Zac Posen bridal looks, which, along with the special occasion dresses and accessories, will land in David's Bridal stores and davidsbridal.com in July.
