    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 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.

Oprah Buys $14 Million Telluride Ski Mansion—Take a Look Inside!

Whatever Oprah Winfrey does, she does it big—and that includes her living quarters. News just broke that the media mogul dropped $14 million on a giant, high-tech Telluride, Colorado mansion that comes complete with a "wine mine," because this place is an actual fort slash castle.

For those of you who aren't familiar with what a "wine mine" is, basically, it's an underground space in which Oprah has access to a 56-foot-long storage space that holds up to 1,600 bottles of wine in a cellar designed to look—and sound like—like a mining tunnel. Yes, you heard that right. The steel cart in the cellar actually rides on old mine rails in a chilled room that, according to the listing agent T.D. Smith, has "sound effects like you're moving through a mine shaft and lights that are computerized to flicker like a lantern would in a mine."

Not only that, but the home comes complete with all the skiing essentials, including a mud room, seven-person hot tub, and even a faux mining car that connects the mansion with a nearby ski trail for easy access.

After a long day hitting the slopes, you can bet Oprah will be coming home to the most luxurious living experience. Boasting 8,700-square-feet, the mansion has 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a sauna, a guesthouse, and an office.

Located on the slope side of Mountain Village, Oprah's guaranteed the best living experience in her new home—whether she's out on the slopes or inside her top-of-the-line mansion.
