    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).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. 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.

20s: The Bare Minimum

Step away from your high school nuclear-grade zit cream—you want to keep your complexion balanced, not under siege. “A gentle cleanser and a lightweight hydrator with SPF 15 or higher will restore your skin’s natural oil-production cycle and minimize flareups,” says N.Y.C. dermatologist Joshua Zeichner. To avoid breakouts, smooth on an oil-free moisturizer infused with salicylic acid before bed.

A.M. ROUTINE
Olay Fresh Effects Shine Minimizing Cleanser, $6; target.com.
Simple Protecting Light Moisturizer SPF 15, $12; drugstore.com.

You wouldn’t leave your iPad screen smudged with fingerprints,so why would you let complexion-dimmingdead cells linger on your skin? Slough them away with a sonic cleansing brush and a dollop of an anti-redness cleanser, advises N.Y.C. dermatologist Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas. A sunscreen with antioxidants will keep sunspots at bay; a night cream with peptides promotes the production of new, undamaged cells.

If you want to check your bags, look for a caffeinespiked gel, which temporarily constricts blood vessels to diminish inky pools. (A rollerball applicator helps redistribute fluids too.) To fade melasma and other discoloration, treat with a brightening serum. Natural lighteners, such as yeast, are the least irritating.

Load on the moisturizers. “Creams and washes with basic hydrators like glycerin, ceramides, and cholesterol can actually plump furrows and grooves,” says N.Y.C. dermatologist Frederic Brandt. Older cells are even more vulnerable to damaging UV rays, so diligent sunscreen use is an absolute must. At night, break out the big guns: A vitamin A–based retinol speeds cell turnover and improves skin rejuvenation.

Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, $12; drugstore.com.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid sunscreen SPF 70, $12; neutrogena.com.

Vitamins, applied topically, are key. Try a nutrient- and anti-ager-packed cleanser to remove the bad (dirt, makeup) and leave behind the good (like niacinamide, a component of B3 that builds strong new skin cells). Follow it with a vitamin C–enhanced sunscreen to scrounge up sag-inducing free radicals. Used nightly, aproduct with peptides increases collagen and repairs skin.

Oil used to be your complexion’s archenemy. Now it’s your BFF. Try a cleansing oil followed by a powerful UV blocker, as sun parches cells even further. “Your skin is producing less oil, so it’s very important to retain and give back moisture,” says N.Y.C. dermatologist Roy Geronemus. At night, use a hydrating retinol (the onebelow has shea butter) and an eye cream with growth factors to refine tone and texture.
