    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.

Saffron Rice Cake with Shrimp

Credit: Mark Peterson/Redux

Serves 8

6 cups chicken broth
½ tsp. saffron
6 tbs. plus 1 cup olive oil, divided
½ cup finely chopped Spanish onion
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
½ cup white wine
Salt and pepper to taste
4 whole chile de arbol, stemmed and coarsely chopped
¼ cup chopped chives
Oil for deep frying
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
24 medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and butterflied
Chopped chives for garnish

Bring chicken broth and saffron to simmer in saucepan.

Heat 2 tbs. olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice to coat, about 1 minute. Add white wine and cook until wine has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup chicken broth; stir until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding next cup, until all broth has been used and rice is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour rice into a 13"x9" baking dish. Let cool completely. Refrigerate 2 hours.

Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup olive oil in small skillet over medium-low heat. Add chile de arbol. Heat gently for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain; set aside.

Place 1/2 cup olive oil and chives in blender and blend for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Strain and set aside.

Heat oil in deep saucepan until thermometer reads 360°F. Using a 2" round cookie cutter, cut rice into circles. Dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. Deep fry rice until golden, about 3 minutes. Place on paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.

Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Working in batches, if necessary heat 2 tbs. olive oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the shrimp and cook 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

To assemble, top each rice cake with 1 shrimp. Drizzle with chive and chile oil. Garnish with chopped chives.
