    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).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.

We hate to point out the obvious, but it's January. It's the first month of the year. It's 2017. And depending on where you live, it's very cold outside. Guess what—all of that is making an impact on what we're planning to buy in the new few weeks. Some of us are investing in cool new workout clothes (new year, new fitness goals!), a couple are trying to meet New Year's fashion resolutions (new year, new style!), while others are merely trying to stay warm (new year, new ways to battle the cold!). Scroll through to see what you should be shopping for, because 1) we definitely are, and 2) new year, new you! (How hackneyed does that expression sound now?)

A Sweater Dress

Credit: Courtesy
$316 (originally $451)
SHOP IT
farfetch.com

"I’m not quite sure why I haven’t bought this sweater dress yet. We first met one sticky fall day when I wandered into The Line’s SoHo outpost looking for jeans and wound up trying it on instead. Deterred by the nearly $600 price tagĀ  (which would actually be much more if you factor in tax) and Indian Summer weather, I held off but kept checking up on it online as the season progressed. Once it hit the $300-something mark on sale I added it to my shopping cart and took it out, and added it again, and eventually put it to my (admittedly rather lengthy) Christmas wish list hoping someone else would foot the bill. December 25 came and went, and while it wasn’t under the tree, the price was slashed to $236 and—you guessed it—I still didn’t pull the trigger. This morning, however, after taking my shower and slipping into a pair of cropped straight leg jeans, I wandered into my closet looking for my long forest green MMM tunic to wear on top. You know, the one I don’t actually own! Guess it's time to change that." —Alison Syrett, fashion writer

I love the feminine flower appliqué at the toe, making the shoe a modern and playful take on the classic Manolo Blahnik style. They are sure to dress up even my laziest of outfits this winter!"Ā —Kristina Rutkowski, market editor
