    The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    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 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.

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

Best Dry Hair Products - Lead

Brittle ends, dullness, and overall dryness — my hair is so badly desperate for hydrating hair products. You could describe it as a thirst trap. Luckily, there are plenty of products to choose from to help you lock in the moisture that your hair deserves.

"Moisture evaporates from the hair throughout the day into the environment, so those with dry hair need to focus on retaining moisture," says Antoinette Beenders, Global Creative Director of Aveda. To keep hair at its optimal hydration level, Beenders says to only wash your hair a few times a week to preserve moisture, and when you do shampoo it, avoid using clarifying or detoxifying formulas, as they can strip hair of its essential oils.

When it comes time to shop for hair finishing products, Beenders says you should avoid anything that's alcohol-based, as it will only dry out your hair even more. Instead, look for products that are oil-based.

"On dry hair, dullness is a common struggle. To add shine, I recommend using an oil-based shine spray as a finishing product on dry hair, or pulling a few drops of oil through the mid-length to the ends," she says. "Oil is going to give you a natural, shiny finish, and nourish your hair.

To get the complete low-down on what products you should have in your haircare routine, keep scrolling for 10 products made to hydrate dry hair.

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo

Sure, using dry shampoo will make your hair look less dirty when you're too lazy to wash it, but it absorbs all of the oils from your roots which is bad news for already-dry hair. Instead, use a hydrating dry shampoo like this Moroccanoil one that comes in two different shades for light and dark hair. It's infused with nourishing argan oil which will also boost shine.

While oils can be hydrating, they can be too dense to use on fine hair. Instead, use a few drops of a lightweight oil-infused serum on your mid-lengths to minimize frizz and add shine. Kérastase's serum also contains polymers that detangles hair, too.

When no conditioner seems to cut it, an extra-nourishing mask is what you need. Leynor Greyl's mask is formulated for extra damaged, dry hair. It contains cupuaçu and manketti oils, which are very good at reviving super brittle hair. Yes, the mask is expensive — but a little bit goes a long way. Use dime sized amount on your hair as a treatment before showering, or after shampooing on wet hair.
