    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

Tour Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman's Colorful Hollywood Hideaway

Were it not for his wife, Nick Offerman's home wouldn't look anything like this. “I basically have terrible taste,” says the actor, known for his hilariously deadpan seven-year run as scotch-and-steak-loving Ron Swanson on NBC's Parks and Recreation. “If I had to do a house, it would be all wood and dogs and the skeletons of the animals that I just carved up to put on the barbecue. And I understand that's not appropriate.

“Happily,” he adds, “I am married to a design genius.” Though his spouse, Megan Mullally, is also acknowledged as a comedic virtuoso for characters like Will & Grace's spoiled socialite, Karen Walker, and Swanson's conniving ex-wife, Tammy, she doesn't fool around when it comes to home design. “We would literally be living in a log cabin if it were up to Nick,” says the actress, who spent nearly three years renovating and perfecting their new residence in Los Angeles along with her longtime interior designer, Ames Ingham, and the L.A. architecture firm iDGroup.

The 6,500-square-foot, two-story modern house, tucked in L.A.'s hills, is a lesson in balancing calm expanses with strategic blasts of color. “Megan and I are both drawn to big white gallery spaces where you can have lots of different textures and contrasts but still keep it very clean,” says Ingham. Here, hot hues like magenta and yellow on chairs and couches energize but don't overwhelm.

When they're home together, they usually spend most of their time upstairs, reading, doing jigsaw puzzles that they post on Twitter, and practicing songs from their upcoming show. “Since it's a two-story house, we kind of kitted it out to have its own little self-contained unit upstairs,” says Mullally. There's a kitchenette with a mini fridge and a TV room where Offerman, a longtime woodworker (his third book, Good Clean Fun, comes out this fall), has contributed to the décor by building a two-person desk. He also fabricated their slab dining table and four-poster bed.

His rugged touches offer a counterweight to Mullally's hand-tufted rugs and Christian Lacroix wallpaper—kind of like their relationship. “I'm more of the donkey in our marriage, and I'm happy,” he says. “I'll carry the luggage, and Megan can tell everybody that I'm gassy. As long as she lets me sleep in the bed, I'm down with it.”

"It's so quiet, and there are deer and lots of birds. It's almost like this is our vacation house," says Mullally. The living room features vintage '70s ergonomic armchairs by Norwegian designer Terje Ekstrøm, a hot pink rug from ABC Carpet & Home, and a bronze and glass table by Fran Taubman.

After doing a play in London, Mullally was inspired to wallpaper her bathrooms. "I love the style and the mix of color and pattern in London," she says. She found this Christian Lacroix Mariposa design at L.A.'s Walnut Wallpaper.
