    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

Nate Berkus Is Selling His Stuff on eBay—Find Out How to Score Some of His Pieces

Spring cleaning: You either love it or hate it.

If you love it, you’ve probably never felt like the occasion is a long, laborious—maybe even painful—chore. Unfortunately, most of us are not wired that way, and the inner hoarder within us needs all the help we can get when it comes to pitching unnecessary belongings, no matter the little joy they spark. (Thanks, Marie Kondo!) To get some inspiration (and moral support) we turned to someone who is well versed in the art of the home edit: decorator Nate Berkus.

As a self-proclaimed perpetual purger, Berkus doesn’t find spring cleaning stressful, as he is constantly chipping away at his stuff throughout the year. Still, he empathizes with the rest of us. “I understand why people feel the inclination to do it at spring time,” says Berkus. “You’re throwing open the windows, letting the fresh air in, and trying to create more space in your home, which then allows you to bring in a few select things that will change the way you live in it,” he tells InStyle.

RELATED: Take a Look Inside Nate Berkus's $10-Million N.Y.C. Apartment

This season Berkus has teamed up with eBay on its “Hello Spring” campaign, which highlights the site’s Valet service, designed to make the whole task to “sell your stuff” pretty effortless. “With eBay Valet you don’t have to photograph your items, or do anything,” Berkus explains. “Just put your stuff in any box, attach a pre-paid label and eBay will post, price, and sell the items for you.” It’s also an easy way to score some extra pocket money, too. “Buy some new things for spring, get a new look, take a vacation, or take your kids somewhere wonderful,” he suggests.

Or, if you’re like Berkus, your proceeds are going straight to charity. Starting tonight at 7 p.m. EST, 60 pieces from his own home will be up to bid on, and all the funds from his sales will be donated to The American Brain Tumor Association, which is an extremely meaningful foundation to the philanthropic decorator, as he lost his father to a brain tumor last year.

To score some great finds—and to support a worthy cause—head over to Berkus’s sale now through April 10, where you’ll find the below, plus tons more.
