    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 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

Wait a second ... Buffy is that you? At one point, Sarah Michelle Gellar was best known for slaying vampires. Nowadays, her focus is on her family and her culinary lifestyle company, Foodstirs, which she co-founded with Galit Laibow and Greg Fleishman in 2015. Foodstirs offers organic and GMO-free baking mixes and kits featuring premium ingredients, with the intent of bringing families together in the kitchen.

From actress to entrepreneur to author to wife to mom, Gellar has it all on her resume. She is a Golden Globe nominee and Emmy-winning actress, played unforgettable roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, All My Children, The Crazy Ones, and Cruel Intentions, to name a few. In addition, Gellar gives her time and support to child and hunger organizations as an advocate and activist. She works closely with the No Kid Hungry and Good + Foundation, as well as the nonprofit organization, CARE. To top off that mind-blowing list of accomplishments, she just released her first cookbook, Stirring Up Fun with Food, which is filled with over 115 creative recipes and food-crafting ideas. This Mother’s Day, get some gifting inspiration from SMG. Scroll down for her picks!

All Dad has to do is gather all loose art work and put in the already labeled box and ship and they will send you the most beautiful coffee table book of your little Picasso's art, " says Gellar who is mother to daughter Charlotte and son Rocky with husband Freddie Prinze Jr.
