    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

If Lauren Conrad has ever had a bad hair day, it’s never been documented. We’ve envied her thick, shiny, highlighted strands since the day we got the lowdown on a little California town named Laguna Beach, and obviously way before the Speidi drama. But her perfectly messy blonde waves and voluminous ballerina buns shouldn’t come of a surprise—the celebrity is something of a beauty guru herself, in addition to curating the prettiest Instagram feed in existence. Back in 2012, she published Lauren Conrad Beauty, a guide to mastering not only her signature cat-eyes and braids, but developing your very own routine.

The best part about Lauren Conrad’s hairstyles, though? While they’re incredibly chic, they’re also relatively simple to recreate without a celebrity glam squad at your disposal—because let’s face it, not many of us do. Here, we rounded up a few that you can totally master at home, with the help of a blow-dryer, a curling iron, some bobby pins, and maybe a three-strand braid.

Wavy Ponytail

Credit: Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic

Sweep freshly curled (and separated) hair into a mid-ponytail, letting any shorter face-framing angles fall. A few spritzes of Kevin Murphy Bedroom Hairspray will give your hair a matte finish, a slight hold, and also amp up the volume in the lengths of the pony.

Loose Waves

These ultra-loose waves complemented her multidimensional bronde hair color. Instead of relying on texturizing products or a curling iron, use a large round brush like Raincry's Smooth 2.0 Brush ($70; nordstrom.com) and the heat of a blow-dryer to create this subtle bends.

Blunt Bangs

Spray in OUAI Memory Mist ($28; nordstrom.com) to your damp hair before blowing it out to ensure the blowout lasts for more than one night. After you’ve created the texture you like, take two small sections on either side of your hair and pin them in the back. The blunt fringe give this hairstyle and entirely new vibe.

Formal Updo

For maximum shine, an essential in a loose updo like LC’s, prep your damp hair with a shine-enhancing and heat protectant blowout balm like R+Co’s Park Ave Blowout Balm ($16; nordstrom.com).

Braided Half-Up Half-Down Hairstyle

Credit: Dave Kotinsky/Getty

To recreate this romantic wavy hairstyle, first part your hair in the center, and then separate two small sections on either side. Loosely braid each section and connect them with a pin in the back of your head. We find it easier to create the waves before braiding, but you can add in more bends with a curling iron after you’ve secured the plaits, too.

Air-Dried Lob

Yes, Lauren Conrad lived that lob life, too. Master her air-dried texture with a product like Shu Uemura Air-Dry, Blow-Dry Multi-Tasking Primer ($33; barneys.com). It conditions your hair, detangling knots and preventing frizz, while enhancing your natural texture that shows through when you let your hair dry without the help of heat tools.

Messy Bob

Confirmation that LC looks amazing with any hair length. You’ll need a small-barreled curling wand to create those undone waves that she wears so well, and add in extra body with the help of a texturizing spray like Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray ($22; nordstrom.com).

Precise Side Part

Prep is one of the most important and underrated steps of any great hairstyle. Create a healthy base to this wavy side-parted look with a moisturizing shampoo like Kristin Ess The One Signature Shampoo ($10; target.com).

Accessorize a shiny and smooth blowout with a diamond-encrusted barrette like the Cara Crystal Oval Barrette ($10; nordstrom.com).

Voluminous Ballerina Bun

Lauren Conrad’s topknots veer more on the ballerina bun spectrum—voluminous and always perfectly placed. You’ll need plenty of bobby pins in order to keep your fanned-out-bun secured, plus a setting spray like TRESemmé Flexible Finish Hairspray ($19; jet.com), a formula that won’t leave your hair looking shiny or stiff and will be easy to brush through later in the evening.

Deconstructed ‘20s Updo

So you don’t have your crimping iron anymore? You can use a small flatiron like ghd Classic Styler ($149; sephora.com) to create small bends in the hair for this 1920s-inspired textured updo.
