    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

If you’re feeling saucy and want to buy dad a bundle of Google Home dongles, he can create an affordable multi-room audio set up using the array of speakers he probably already owns.

Weber iGrill 2 Thermometer

$67 (originally $67)
SHOP IT

When each member of the family likes their steak cooked differently, manning the grill stops being fun and becomes a highly delicate balancing act. One slip and grandma’s well-done steak is indistinguishable from the charcoal it was cooked on.

Enter the Weber iGrill 2 accessory, which accommodates four (count ‘em!) food probes, each of which are synced back to the iOS and Android app. Dad will receive a notification when each steak reaches the desired temperature.

Withings Steel HR with Heart Rate Monitoring

$150
SHOP IT

This year, the affectionate term “dad bod” made it into the online dictionary. Essentially, it means that between fatherly duties, work and maintaining a healthy beer consumption regimen, the hours once spent in the gym are now accounted for.

While smartwatches and fitness wearables might not suit dad’s style, the Withings Steel HR matches a classic timepiece design with top-notch fitness tracking tech.

It’ll track distance, calories, heart rate and sleep and automatically discern activities like running from swimming (yep, it’s waterproof) and cycling. Unlike some smartwatches and fitness trackers it boasts a whopping 25-day battery life and syncs just as easily with iPhone as it does with Android devices.

The cushy Joy-Con controllers allow for comfortable single or multiplayer play and come in black or red and blue combos. He'll be setting new high scores in no time.

Nest Learning Thermostat

$195 (originally $209)
SHOP IT

Dads fiddle with the thermostat and fret about the energy bill; it’s what they do. But with the Nest learning Thermostat from Google, reducing stress and saving money becomes easy. This Wi-Fi-connected thermostat learns your schedule and adapts the temperature to suit your comings and goings.

It automatically turns things down a notch when no-one’s around, so there’s no more ire raised by leaving the house with the heating blazing.

You can also change the temperature from anywhere using your phone. So, for example, if commuting from work on a particularly balmy summer’s day, dad can adjust the air conditioning to ensure it’s nice and cool when the family walks through the door. Although not too cool, because “have you seen this bill?!”
