    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).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.

January Jones’s Navy Smoky Eye

Credit: ROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty

A sexy, smoky eye is a standard for a night as momentous as New Year’s Eve, and the deep navy twist January Jones added to hers is a fun way to give dark shadows a pop of color. “I wanted her whole look to have a dramatic high fashion feel to it, not passive, but of real intentional glamour,” says her makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin. “I created a powerful indigo smoky eye paired with soft berry-stained lips.”

Although it looks striking, Jones’s look is simple to recreate. Goodwin used Chanel’s Illusion D’Ombre Eye Shadow in Apparition ($36), a rich Oxford blue. “I applied the shadow on top, blending it softly into the lash line and crease, then extended it out toward the hairline in a dramatic sweep,” she said. A black liner was added to define Jones’s top and bottom lashes, then smudge, with a soft tapered brush. BUY IT

Julianne Moore’s Pink Flush

Credit: Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

There’s something to be said about a perfect, lit-from-within glow. We loved the soft pink color Julianne Moore wore at the 2012 Emmy awards, which looked natural, but still stood out against her bright lip. When pairing your blush with a bold lipstick, keep the two shades within the same color family to keep the continuity.

Moore’s makeup artist swept Dior’s Diorblush in Strawberry Sorbet ($42) across the apples of the star’s cheeks. The two shades can be swirled together for a custom blend, or worn individually. BUY IT

Amanda Peet’s Nude Lip

Credit: Jeff Vespa/WireImage

A nude lip allows more freedom when it comes to your makeup. It balances the look of a heavy eye, and still makes for an elegant statement if you opt for minimal shadow. “Inspired by her Calvin Klein dress, I created a look that was feminine and romantic, anchored with a tiny bit of edginess with black liner,” said makeup artist Amy Nadine, who created Amanda Peet’s look. Want to find your perfect nude hue? Take a look at the color on your inner lip, and then find a lipstick no more than two shades lighter or darker.

“I finished the look with Tom Ford’s Blush Nude Lipstick ($48), a super-light neutral, followed by Revlon’s Just Bitten Balm Stain in Charm ($9; drugstore.com) lightly on top,” Nadine said. Because the lipstick Peet wore was so pale, a thin layer of Revlon’s peach lip stain prevented her pout from blending in with the rest of her face.BUY IT

Rashida Jones’s Cobalt Eye Shadow

Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty

Blue eye shadow can easily be considered the beauty equivalent of walking a tightrope. When done right, the effect can be beautiful, but one wrong move sends you plummeting. Luckily, Rashida Jones’s cobalt eye falls into the former category, and although her outfit is in coordinating tones, it doesn’t look overdone.

Jamie Greenberg, who created Jones’s look, used mark. Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner amp Shadow in Surreal ($11). “I started with a primer on Rashida’s eyelids to create a strong base. Next, I applied a nude shadow to the inner areas of her lids, followed by two deep cobalt shades on the outer corners,” she said. “I lined Rashida’s eyes using the blue shade from the Eyeliner amp Shadow duo, and finished with a darker liner on her bottom lash line.” BUY IT

Claire Danes’s DoubleLiner

Credit: Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic

To give a “casual nod to old Hollywood glamour,” Claire Danes’s makeup artist Matin Maulawizada topped off the star’s metallic shadow with a thick sweep of liner on the top, then continued on the inner rim of her lower lash line. The subtle definition on the bottom adds a sexy, smoldering effect without piling on the shadows, but if your eyes are on the small side, move the line underneath your lashes instead, as dark colors on your waterline can make your eye look smaller.

Maulawizada opted for Laura Mercier’s Eye Pencil in Extreme Black ($20), a soft kohl formula. Make sure to sharpen the liner before using it on your waterline. Dull pencils tend to be uncomfortable, and can tug at your eye. BUY IT

Christina Hendricks’s True Red Lipstick

Going full bombshell for New Year’s Eve? Make like Christina Hendricks and swipe on a bright red lipstick! “I was inspired by the soft, feminine look of her dress, and its cool, neutral look against her skin,” said Hendricks’s makeup artist, Vanessa Scali. “I kept her face soft and romantic, but added contrast and strength with a bold lip color.” The classic hue is a classic for a reason-it flatters everyone, and even with the most minimal eye makeup, it creates an instantly polished look.

Zooey Deschanel’s Shimmery Shadow

Credit: Frederick M. Brown/Getty

The pale shimmer on Zooey Deschanel’s eye gives her look a delicate, wintery vibe, and is a sophisticated reminder of the glitter eye shadows of years past. When using loose pigment shadows, make sure to press the product onto your lids using a flat brush. Sweeping it across your eye will cause the shimmer to fall onto your face and stick to your foundation.

Makeup artist Jorjee Douglass used a combination of Hourglass' Vol. 6 Eye Palette ($58) and Beauty Is Life's Perfect Shine Shadow in Everest ($25; barneys.com) on the star. Starting with the palette, Douglass laid down a layer of the light, sparkly hue all over Deschanel’s lids, then used the brown and black colors to define her crease. She swirled the soft pink over the whole lid to blend all of the shades, then topped off her eye with the white shimmer. BUY IT

Michele used a combination of L’Oreal’s Infallible Eye Shadow in Liquid Diamond and Eternal Black ($8 each) to create her steely smoky eye. We recommend layering the dark color on first, then going back and adding the silver over it. Place a little extra over areas you want to stand out, like the center of your lid, and shine on! BUY IT
