    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

While many of us are using the start of a new year as a chance to get healthy, the “Dry January” challenge—completely eliminating booze—may be too severe for some. The happy medium? Low-cal cocktails from Trisha Antonsen, Chief Cocktail Officer of alcohol delivery service Drizly. “I love these three recipes because they’re easy, really good, and weigh in at around 120 calories,” says Antonsen. “Opt for fresh ingredients whenever possible and ditch the artificial sweeteners. Spoiler alert: They aren’t just better for you, they taste better too.” Try the recipes below!

Winter Citrus Swizzle

“If you use a vodka such as Deep Eddy's Red Grapefruit, the ombre effect in the drink between the pink vodka and soda water before you stir is absolutely beautiful,” says Antonsen.

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1 ½ oz ruby red vodka ($18; budgetbottle.com)
3 oz Perrier L'Orange ($25/case of 24; jet.com)
½ oz rosemary simple syrup 
Fresh rosemary 

Rosemary simple syrup
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup water
1 large rosemary sprig

Directions:

1. To make the rosemary simple syrup: In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil, and stir until sugar completely dissolves. Remove from the heat and add fresh rosemary sprig. Steep the sprig in the sugar mixture for 2 to 3 hours. Strain and store in the fridge. 

2. To assemble the cocktail: In a Collins glass with ice, pour vodka down the bottom and top with Perrier L’Orange sparkling water. Add rosemary simple syrup and slide a tall sprig of rosemary down the side of the glass. Stir gently with rosemary before enjoying.

"This easy take on a margarita combines one of the most popular cleanse juices with tequila for a drink just under 120 calories,” Antonsen explains. “The spicy cayenne and tart lemon complement the bite in tequila for a balanced beverage you can enjoy almost guilt-free." 

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1½ oz tequila 
2 oz lemon juice 
1 oz water
1 tsp agave syrup 
Cayenne pepper
Salt
Lemon 

Directions:

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lemon, water, agave syrup, and a small pinch of cayenne pepper with ice. Shake vigorously until cold. Pour into a rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon wedge dusted with salt and cayenne pepper. 

Alternative preparation: Use a store-bought lemon cayenne agave juice such as the BluePrint cleanse option, pour 3 to 4 oz in a shaker with ice, combine with tequila, and shake until cold.

“This is a funky alternative to the brunch bloody,” says Antonsen. “The bright orange color and refreshing vodka flavors make for a drink that's a definite departure from your typical Sunday brunch order.”

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
1½ oz spa-infused vodka 
2 oz carrot ginger orange juice (made in a juicer, or store-bought)
Carrot 
Cucumber

Spa-infused vodka
4 oz to 8 oz vodka 
Lemon peels
Fresh mint 
Cucumber 

Directions:

1. To make the spa-infused vodka: In a clean glass jar, pile lemon peels, fresh mint leaves, and cucumber slices (cut in half and remove seeds from slides) about ⅓ of the way up. Add plain vodka. Seal with lid and let sit on the counter for 2 to 3 days. Lightly turn and shake the bottle a couple times a day, then strain vodka to remove pieces and store in the fridge

2. To assemble the cocktail: Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake until cold and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with carrot and cucumber.
