    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. BeyoncĆ© 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.

Best Gifts for Husband: Mac Knife Professional Hollow Edge Chef's Knife

Credit: Courtesy
$145
SHOP IT

This excellent kitchen tool has been dubbed the “Best Overall Chef’s Knife” by Food & Wine, and what better way to encourage a new, bonding activity like cooking than with a shiny new toy? If you’re at all superstitious, make sure to collect a penny from your husband when you give him this gift — that way, he’s technically ‘paying’ you for it, and you won’t ‘cut’ the relationship off.

Best Gifts for Husband: Linjer The Classic Watch

Credit: Courtesy
$249
SHOP IT

The makers behind the bag with a 3,000 person waitlist are actually better known for their watches. These classic, understated timepieces have the same Everlane-meets-Mansur Gavriel minimalist quality, so we obviously love them for him.

Best Gifts for Boyfriend: Everlane The Chore Jacket

$88
SHOP IT

It’s kind of impossible to go wrong with Everlane. Its Twill Weekender Bag ($98; everlane.com) has been a go-to men’s gift of ours for years, as have their reliable gift cards ($25-$200; everlane.com). This newly released jacket, though, is an instant favorite for its year-round wearability, style, and great value.

Best Gifts for Boyfriend: Krewe Breton Polarized Aviator Sunglasses

Credit: Courtesy
$295
SHOP IT

The sunglass market is predominantly filled with frames made by optics giants like Luxottica and Marcolin, so when you see a totally independent brand emerge making frames by hand — each pair can take up to two weeks to finish — in unique styles, it’s worth paying attention. Plus, many of Krewe’s frames (including these) are unisex, so when you forget your own pair at home, just steal his gift back for the afternoon, and you’ll look just as polished.

Best Gifts for Dad: Patagonia 'Better Sweater' Quarter Zip Pullover

Credit: Courtesy
$99
SHOP IT

If we know dads, we’re guessing yours doesn’t want to be flashy, but still cares about style (even if he won’t admit it.) This super comfortable layer will become the piece he reaches for all of the time, whether dressing it up with some nice slacks, or dressing down with an old pair of jeans.

Best Gifts for Dad: 23andMe DNA Test

$99
SHOP IT

It’s natural when you get older to invest more in your heritage and past. More than any other time before, we have tools available to us to learn about our ancestry. It doesn’t require a crystal ball or a pilgrimage to the Old Country (wherever that may be for you), just a simple, one-time kit that can tell you things you’d have no way of knowing otherwise.

These sneakers speak a language everyone can understand. The retro colorway adds flair to an otherwise simple outfit, and whether your brother cares about style, and comfort is the added benefit, or he’s into comfort, and style is just a bonus, it’s a double win all around.

Compared to all of the offerings on the market for women, men have surprisingly few grooming products to work with. A quality beard oil though, is something every facial hair-having man should keep in his medicine cabinet. This natural oil by Oars + Alps will keep his beard looking tidy and smelling great.

Best Gifts for Son: VAVA MOOV 28 Wireless Headphones

SHOP IT

Once you experience the ease and comfort of wireless headphones, there’s really no going back. The only problem with the pod models is that they can so easily fall out and get lost. This set solves that problem with a helpful connecting cord between the two sides. These are also totally affordable at under $35, and have over 1,600 five-star reviews on Amazon.
