    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.

When it comes to the Oscars, the after party in just as important as the ceremony itself — and when it comes to after parties, the Vanity Fair soiree is the place to be.

As stars trickled out of the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, they made time for a quick outfit change and even switched up their hair and makeup. The Vanity Fair after party looks did not disappoint. Joining Oscar winners like Lady Gaga and Regina King, were Jennifer Lopez's violet eyeliner and Kerry Washington's freshly cut pixie. 

The stars' standout looks also forecasted some future big beauty trends, too. If this after party is any indication, sleek, straight hair is the new beachy waves, and pink is the next eye makeup color to try. 

Here, all of the must-see hair and makeup looks from the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscars after party.

"Taraji’s 2019 Vanity Fair Oscars Party hair was inspired by Donna Summers," said celebrity hairstylist Tym Wallace. He used Dyson's Supersonic Hair Dryer Professional Edition and a curling iron to dry and wave her hair. Next, he "sectioned the hair off by brushing it out into a wavy afro, paying homage to the late world-renowned singer." The actress kept the '70s vibe going with eyeshadow that's just as shimmery as a disco ball.
