    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 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

Do blondes really have more fun? If the age-old saying holds any truth, a whole slew of celebrities are about to have their biggest and brightest summers yet. Throughout the spring season, we’ve noticed a major hair trend sweeping Hollywood: platinum blonde. A number of our favorite stars have made a visit to their colorists’ chairs to either take their already flaxen strands lighter, or do a complete 180 from the dark side to become initiated into Hollywood’s platinum blonde club. Despite each celebrity’s drastically different take on the trend, there’s one thing they all have in common: Their new shades are the perfect accessories the season’s lighter layers and hot temperatures. We’ve rounded up our favorite celebrities who are fulfilling their platinum blonde ambitions.

Emma Stone

Emma Stone’s uncanny ability to pull off any hair color makes it easy to forget she was born a blonde. But sometimes it’s satisfying to return to your blonde roots—even if it’s only for a hot minute. A few weeks after stepping out with brighter, lighter locks in May, Stone dyed her mane back to her signature russet shade.

Although she's never one to shy away from a hair risk, Rooney Mara is the most unexpected new member of the platinum blonde club. Mara took her raven strands lighter in May and we can't wait to see that she pairs her new 'do with on the red carpet.

The only way to kick off a world tour: A #flawless new shade of platinum blonde. Beyoncé celebrated the start of her Formation Tour in May by lightening her caramel strands. "I love her blonde. It's sexy, and on stage, it really stands out," Bey's longtime colorist Rita Hazan told InStyle exclusively. "It's a classic Beyonce look, and while she's whipping her hair around and dancing, you can see the multi-dimensional blonde colors." The new 'do is just another reason to join us in formation as we bow down to Queen Bey.

Taylor Swift's haircuts and styles may have have changed over the years, but her color has always remained consistant. Now, the singer can write "platinum blonde" in the blank space on her list of hair looks thanks to the edgy shade she's been rocking since Coachella in April.

Kristen Stewart

Talk about the epitome blonde ambition: Aside from her brief stint with orange strands, Kristen Stewart has been a loyal brunette until she went platinum blonde, a shade she debuted just in time for the 2016 Cannes Film Festival red carpet. There’s no doubt about it, the hue perfectly matches her too-cool-for-school aesthetic and attitude.
