    The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time

    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).  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.

Jennifer Morrison

THE STATS

As the star of the TV hit 'Once Upon a Time' and the new owner of a magical L.A. home, Jennifer Morrison is living a storybook life. "I love the romance of 1930s California homes like this one-its charming details really transport you back in time."

LIVING ROOM

Designer Christos Prevezanos paired the sofas with a minimal midcentury Paul McCobb glass coffee table and brought in a classic California feel with local vintage pottery, beautifully weathered antique rugs, and carved wooden furniture.

KITCHEN For her light-filled kitchen, Morrison had her friend Ezra Weigel craft a custom walnut and alder dining table. "I wouldn't claim to be a chef extraordinaire, but I do like to cook when I have the time," Morrison says. "I'm definitely going to have some formal dinners here."

BEDROOM "I wanted to keep the decor fairly simple in the bedroom," says Morrison, "since the beamed ceilings, balcony, and fireplace were already strong focal point."

GARDEN

At the back of the house, a Juliet balcony off the den overlooks the pool area. "It really is an evocative garden setting," says Morrison. A trio of potted plants and succulents in contrasting proportions makes an unfussy, impromptu centerpiece on an outdoor table.

POOL A built-in stone bench arrayed with comfy pillows is the perfect perch for a quick swim break. "When I was house hunting, I would see places with amazing views, but that always kind of freaked me out," she says. "I enjoy more privacy. Here, it's so enclosed, all you can see is greenery and sky."

THE STATS

With a taste for luxury, actress Denise Richards has turned her L.A. home into a glam showplace, where you'll find the most surprising things-a chandelier in the bathroom, corset-inspired chairs, and, quite possibly, Charlie Sheen. (Yes, they're really friends!)

BAR

"Using black and elements of red makes this room feel like a hip New York bar," says designer Kara Smith. It comes complete with a white onyx fireplace and two flat screens. Richards uses the space for monthly potluck dinners ("supper clubs," she calls them) with pals like Lisa Rinna and Holly Robinson Peete.

ENTRYWAY "I love texture," says Richards, who punched up the entryway with a Capiz-shell wall covering, Venetian plaster walls, and leopard-print carpeted stairs.

WINE ROOM Temperature-controlled cabinets in the wine room hold about 240 bottles of vino. Michael Berman club chairs are upholstered in a textured weave fabric from the Romo Group's Miami collection. Fresh flowers delivered every other week provide fragrance and a shot of rich color.

DINING ROOM

Vintage Dior gowns inspired the shape and swag of the custom drapes in the formal dining room and bar.

KITCHEN The centerpiece of the Tuscan-inspired kitchen is a U-shaped silver quartzite island. Richards opted for large windows instead of extra cabinets to keep the room bright.

MASTER BATHROOM

A platinum-tile tub from Italy is the focal point of the master bathroom with its white onyx floor.

CLOSET "I wanted my closet to have a boutiquey feel because this is where I do my hair and makeup before going to events," says the actress.

MASTER BEDROOM "I wanted the master bedroom to be soothing," says Richards, shown relaxing in the sitting area, with its iridescent silk carpet and light celadon sofa. Moldings were painted with a pearl-ized glaze to highlight the subtle shimmer of the wall covering.

THE STATS

'So You Think You Can Dance' host Cat Deeley doesn't just think she can decorate-she really can. Witness the delightfully eclectic style of the bubbly Brit's light-filled Beverly Hills home, a boho-chic "commune" where Champagne flows and guests can't help but linger. "I want my house to be like a diary. Your home should reflect your travels and your history."

KITCHEN

"It's all brand-new, with a double oven and a wine fridge," she says of her snow white kitchen. Open walnut shelves hold knick-knacks from her travels and cookbooks written by her chums Jamie Oliver and Sophie Dahl.

LIVING ROOM In the living room Deeley relaxes on a vintage 1970s De Sede DS-600 leather sofa purchased in Paris that can "be moved around like a caterpillar," she says. "I wanted a couch you can really hang out on."

DINING ROOM A midcentury-modern table, purchased on a trip to Palm Springs, pairs nicely with linen-covered chairs from Environment in Los Angeles. "I quite like the juxtaposition with the industrial light fixture," Deeley says.

DRESSING ROOM

Decked out with a Union Jack motif and Indian temple posts, the dressing room is also where she likes to unwind. "This is where I do yoga. It's my one hour of shutting everything else off."

MASTER BATHROOM A custom-made, walnut vanity and a Venetian mirror share space in the master bathroom with a funky macramé plant hanger. Deeley can see the pool through the window while she's soaking in the matte white tub.

BEDROOM "It's romantic bohemian," says Deeley of her creamy white bedroom, where her pooch, Lilly, rests at her feet. She bought her sheets at the luxurious San Ysidro Ranch in nearby Montecito: "I stayed there and loved the bed so much that I was not going home without the linens, duvet, and pillows!"

POOL

Deeley likes to curl up by the pool with a margarita and a good book, but it's also where she entertains. "I host a Fourth of July barbecue every year for all the 'So You Think You Can Dance' contestants. The pool looks like a big bowl of dancer soup!"

Kim Raver

THE STATS In Los Angeles, where Raver works, she spend most of the year in a recently renovated modernist bungalow, all sharp angles, open surfaces, glass walls, and poured concrete floors, interspersed with pops of bold color. But come summer, Raver and crew head to the east end of New York's Long Island and the comfort of a centuries' old cedar-shingle farmhouse that's decidedly not modern.

BEDROOM

A sense of history permeates the couple's upstairs bedroom. The dollhouse at the foot of the bed was passed down to Kim Raver by her grandmother.

KITCHEN The open kitchen with its beadboard paneling and wood counters is a favorite gathering spot.

LIVING ROOM The living room fireplace in the 300-year-old house is framed by deep-seated wicker chairs and an overstuffed sofa, perfect for curling up with a good book, says Raver. "I love how old the house is and to think about all the generations of different families who have gone through here."

KITCHEN

"We've always had an island in every kitchen," says the actress. "I got that idea from my mom. It's great because then people pitch in. Everyone's chopping vegetables!"

SITTING ROOM The photos that hang above the sofa in a sitting room help make a house a home, says Raver. "I love being surrounded by family memories. We've got pictures of our parents in their 20s and one of my grandmother getting married."

LIVING ROOM To soften the austere effect of the poured concrete floors, Raver brought in a colorful deep-pile rug. "The minute we put it in, we all cuddled up on it. I have two boys, and it's the perfect place for them to wrestle."

DINING ROOM

"We loved the red chairs, but people couldn't sit in them for any length of time. So we replaced most of them with super comfortable brown ones. I just kept two in the mix to add some energy to the room."

BATHROOM The master bathroom has azure-blue tiles and a poured concrete trough sink.

OFFICE The couple opted to forgo a garage in return for a hip, industrial-looking office space. The furniture is almost all mid-century from vintage stores in New York and Venice, CA.

THE STATS

LL Cool J (aka Todd Smith, as his friends and family call him) lives in his posh Tudor-style five-bedroom home with his wife Simone (third from right), son Najee (not pictured) and daughters Nina, Samaria, and Italia. The house was designed with the specific needs of his family in mind. "I put in a gym," Smith says, "and a hair salon so the girls don't have to run around; they can have their stylists come right here. And the home theater is here. You don't have to leave!"

KITCHEN "Todd and the kids would always rather have a home-cooked meal than go out to a restaurant," Simone says.

THE STATS

Her idyllic home in the country, called Cloudwalk, is sprawling landscape with a lake, hiking trails, a barn with chickens and two buildings: One is the property's original 19th-century residence, which has been renovated to house the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms for guests. The other, a former barn, is now "my home, a must for me," says von Furstenberg. "Welcome to my salon, my sanctuary, my archive, and my studio. This is my place to think and my place to dream."

DECOR The portrait left is from a Paris flea market, and DVF collects art nouveau vases "from anywhere I can find them," she says.

HALLWAY

Her treasures from around the world-like a bronze Viennese art nouveau mirror, iron "coatracks" by Saint Clair Cemin, and an armored trunk from Morocco-are proof that she "must shop everywhere."

OFFICE Big tables like this rustic wood slab by Nakashima "are my obsession, because I love spreading things out," she says. "It's a great way to zero in on the best ideas."

LIBRARY Convinced that a library "should be filled with light and comfortable furniture," von Furstenberg chose plush sofas and art deco chairs.

BEDROOM

In her bedroom is the only small table in the house, a delicate 19th-century French piece she has paired with a modern swirl-back, three-footed brass chair by Salvador Dalí.

BATHROOM There's fashion history in DVF master bathroom, and it's not made of Carrara marble. The screen was created by one of Coco Chanel's assistants, out of strips of silk that once belonged to the designer.

BEDROOM When not testing the resiliency of her mattress or adding to the rise-and-shine energy of her new bedding line, her granddaughters Talita, left, and Antonia, form a mutual adoration society. "They are so different and both so delightful," says the designer.

Ashley Tisdale

THE STATS

Ashley's contractor father, Michael Tisdale, built her 3,500-square-foot home. "I definitely got my dad's 'construction' gene," she says. "When I was younger, I had my own tool belt. I can build anything from Ikea!" Her quiet neighborhood is close to Hollywood, but just far enough away to provide privacy. Neighbors include Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli, Brooke Burns, Hilary Duff, and George Lopez.

WHY SHE LOVES IT The house's décor reflects what she describes as a Santa Barbara-like aesthetic, with beachy white interiors and Spanish-style motifs. "The colors throughout are neutral and pastel," she says. "It's almost spa-like."

KITCHEN

Tisdale says she enjoys cooking in her yellow-and-white marble-appointed kitchen, but typically when friends come over, "we hang out, watch movies, and eat takeout!"

BEDROOM In the bedroom a gray satin headboard and mirrored bedside cabinets provide that Hollywood glam feel. A modern touch: The flat-screen TV pops up from a console at the foot of the bed!

BACKYARD The pool area and backyard are modeled loosely on Las Ventanas in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, one of Tisdale's favorite hotels.

WHY THEY LOVE IT Julieand her husband, software developer Scott Phillips, spent more than a year gutting and remodeling the house, creating an open floor plan with a light-filled living room where everything happens: play dates, story time with the children, and cocktail parties with friends.

THE STATS

Giorgio Armani's home is like a fortress: gates, massive front courtyard and all. Not only does this cluster of buildings house his home, but it also encompasses Armani's design, communications, and marketing offices; the sizable underground theater where he used to present his collections; an indoor pool-plus a garden for good measure.

WHY HE LOVES IT Each room is full of art and artifacts, antique rugs and elephant tusks, ceremonial costumes, books, and family portraits. "This is where I put all of the gifts that people have so generously given me. These rooms are where I collect many of the treasures from my lifetime of travel."

DRESSING AREA

The mirrored doors of the dressing area open to reveal a wardrobe that is almost entirely white, black, gray, and navy. "That is my uniform. You will never see me in red or orange."

BATHROOM Photos of him in his youth are interspersed with sketches in his bathroom. "It's humbling to see yourself when you are young because I don't really feel myself getting older."

MASTER BEDROOM The master bedroom is the sparest space in the house. "I hate pretentious bedrooms, and I hate to sleep. Lying still feels a little too definite. So I don't want anything to tempt me to lie in bed. I get up, and I get out."

The narrow, densely packed library contains nearly 3,000 books on fashion, art, film, and design.

SITTING ROOM This sitting area highlights his obsession with lighting. "I think lamps are the most important element of my Armani Casa line."

DINING ROOM A checkerboard marks the spot for the rarely used dining room set. "When I have friends over, I don't like things formal. We tend to spread out around the room wherever it's most comfortable."

The songwriter and 'American Idol' judge lives in a three-bedroom, Spanish-style abode she shares with her husband, Mike McCuddy, a home builder and artist whose abstract oil paintings hang throughout their house.

WHY SHE LOVES IT "I liked that the house felt so secluded," said the native New Yorker. Inside, it was the beamed ceilings and open floor plan that connects the kitchen, dining room, and den that sealed the deal. "I didn't even need to see the upstairs," she said. "This was my place. I just knew it in my gut."

BEDROOM "My husband and I love to crawl into bed and watch movies," said DioGuardi, who plays with Tyree, a friend's Chihuahua, while her own doggie, Tiki, looks on.

WOOD SAUNA "I want my house to feel soothing and homey, like a spa, so I can just relax and be calm," DioGuardi said. To ensure that vibe, she put in an outdoor cedar sauna nestled in the trees on the nearby hillside.

KITCHEN AND LIVING ROOM "Katy Perry and I wrote 'I Do Not Hook Up' in the kitchen," DioGuardi said of Kelly Clarkson's top 10 hit. "And I worked with Michelle Branch on 'I'm Feeling You' while sitting on that couch. I feel inspired in this house."

DINING ROOM

"I feel so honored to have one of April Gornik's paintings," said Brinkley, referring to the enormous seascape in the dining room. "It is such a serene spot." She used different fabrics on each of the chairs: "Mixing and matching fabrics looks much more interesting."

ART STUDIO Brinkley loves spending time at her private art studio, a mecca of paints, sketch pads, glue guns, and shells. "When I go into my art studio to paint, I lose all sense of time," said Brinkley. "If I could stay in there for days and nights on end, I would."

MASTER BEDROOM "I love the look of art school paintings," said Brinkley of the flea market nudes in her bedroom.
