    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

Long and Blunt Ends

Credit: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images

What to Ask For: This haircut is less about lots of layers and angling, and more about a blunt cut at the ends. It's simple in nature, but demands attention. The bonus? You can easily take it from straight to wavy by adding romantic curls or undone waves.

Front Layers

What to Ask For: Lady Gaga's cut features heavy layers around her face and tapered ends. Bonus: It's an easy wash and go style, but looks even better styled in loose waves.

Long Layers

What to Ask For: Face-framing layers, but they shouldn't be choppy! Ciara's angled hairstyle demonstrates the look perfectly.

Layered Curly Bob

What to ask for: A bob with fluid and soft layers. This cut will level-up already gorgeous curls, and can be transformed into an entirely different look by simply switching up your part. Case in point: Taraji P. Henson's deep side-parted bob with voluminous curls.

Shag and Bangs

What to Ask For: Shag haircuts, as seen on celebrities like Taylor Swift, are still trending for spring, but you can completely customize the layered cut by adding a set of soft, piecey bangs. Ask for: textured full bangs with some weight taken out. This will keep the bangs from looking too thick and heavy on your forehead.

Curtain Bangs

What to Ask For: Use this bangs style as your in-between look while growing out your fringe, or as a way to ease into styling bangs if you're chopping them for the first time. Ask your pro for long fringe with enough weight so that they can be parted in the center — like Camila Cabello — or swept to the side.

Long, Layered Pixie

If you want to go short, but don't want to lose styling options, this versatile haircut is for you. What to Ask For: Be sure to ask for significant length and body on top — enough to be able to pull up into a mini ponytail.

Gradual Layers 

Credit: Steve Granitz/Getty Images

What to ask for: Layers that subtly slide from short to long. While these layers work on any length, they add bulk and weight to fine hair.

Choppy Pixie Cut

If you want to go short, this is a versatile haircut that eliminates length and still looks amazing across all hair types. What to ask for: a cropped cut with short, choppy layers for added movement.

Asymmetrical Lob

Credit: Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images

What to Ask For: A lob traditionally hits right below or above the collarbone. Ask for this length, but tell your stylist you want it a little longer in the front and shorter in the back. The beauty of this popular cut is that you can wear it wavy or sleek and straight like Jennifer Lopez.
