    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

Emmy Rossum Had the Best Advice at InStyle’s Elegant Dinner Celebrating Stuart Weitzman

What better way to celebrate the middle of awards season but to have InStyle’s Editor-in-Chief Laura Brown host an exclusive dinner celebrating Stuart Weitzman’s Creative Director, the talented Giovanni Morelli, at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles?

Morelli, who started with the fashion house last spring, was extremely excited to be in Tinseltown talking about—you guessed it—shoes! “All these women have a very different approach with shoes, but all love shoes because it’s part of their personality, and also part of their life. I think, for women, shoes are very important.” He also elaborated on why the brand has been popular for decades. “Because I think we’re friendly, the shoes are friendly & not too aggressive…not too over-designed. They also make the woman comfortable in every sense,” says Morelli.

InStyle’s Laura Brown agrees. “I really just love Stuart Weitzman. It’s really funny…whenever I see someone’s shoes and I go ‘cute’, they always go ‘Stuart Weitzman’. I think we have a very similar sensibility. It’s cool, it’s good-looking, and it’s not snobby. Here are cool shoes and we want everyone to wear them.”

The ambience inside the event was intimate and glamorous: a perfect mix of fashionistas and Hollywood powerhouses that included Allison Janney, Olivia Munn, Kristin Chenoweth, Emmy Rossum, Sistine, Stallone, Madeline Brewer (all donning Stuart Weitzman heels of course), alighted on a private townhouse suite with an Art Deco balcony.

Allison Janney has been a Weitzman devotee for years, telling InStyle “Even before I was a known actress, I’ve always gravitated towards Stuart Weitzman, because the shoes are comfortable. I happen to wear a size 11 and he’s always been generous to lend them in my size feet. And I’ve always found their shoes that are comfortable and stylish and that is the majority of my shoe closet. So, I’m a huge fan and to be invited to this party tonight, I just had that moment with Kristin (Chenoweth) on the set where I said ‘honey we have to go to this party together, because you’re wearing Stuart Weitzman shoes all the time and I love them, and we’re going. You’re my date’. And that was it.”

Janney’s plus-one, Kristin Chenoweth, also has a hard time finding her size—4 ½. “My fit is narrow, and I feel right on point when I wear it. It’s like they built their shoe for me. I perform in their shoes, I’m in concert in his shoes, and I wear them for nights out like tonight. I have a glittery little bootie that I just got, that I wear all the time, and people stop me on the street. I’m not being paid by him. I’m a huge fan,” says Chenoweth.

Olivia Munn was also excited to sport her SWs. “Literally, I wear Stuart Weitzman almost all the time. The Nudists are one of the best shoes ever. They are incredibly comfortable, which is really amazing considering it’s just two straps. I wear Stuart Weitzman Nudists almost with everything, jean shorts, jeans, dresses, I love them…so when it’s a Stuart Weitzman dinner it makes it super easy because you’re like, ‘ok great, because I get to wear my Nudists.’”

As the soirée happened to take place on the eve of the Women’s March in L.A., Olivia Munn and Emmy Rossum also shared some poignant words of advice for girls.

“Be your own best friend, try to believe in yourself the way the people around you do. Often I find it’s difficult to ask for what we deserve, in terms of wage equality and other things, but we need to be our advocates, our own best friends and be unapologetic about understanding our own self-worth,” says Rossum.

Adds Munn, “I think cultivate really great friendships and never be friends with a girl who says she has a hard time being friends with girls…Nurture them, value them, and just know that it’s one of the most important friendships and relationships you’ll have in your life.”
