    The 39 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

10 Rom-Com Couples We Keep Falling In Love With

Everyone has those certain movies they watch again and again. For us, we're a sucker for romance. Whether it's a rom-com or a rom-dram, there are a few movies that stir something inside of us—be it nostalgia, happiness, or melancholy—and we just have to watch every time they're on TV.

Many times, our movie obsession comes down to the power of the onscreen couple. What would Titanic have been without the spark of Jack and Rose? Would we have cried quite so much if we, too, hadn't fallen in love with Noah and Allie from The Notebook? This week sees the release of Passengers, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, and if their adorable press tour is any indication, these two may be heading to the onscreen couple hall of fame, too. Ahead of its release, we rounded up our favorite movie couples of all time.

RYAN GOSLING AND RACHEL MCADAMS IN THE NOTEBOOK

Credit: New Line Cinema/Courtesy of The Everett Collection

Arguably one of the most beloved and tear-inducing romantic films of all time, ​​​​​​The Notebook is naturally at the top of our list. In the Nicholas Sparks adaptation, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams star as two lovebirds who against all odds (including war and disapproving parents) find their way back to each other. This one is widely known to make even grown men cry. Hashtag if you're a bird, I'm a bird.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO AND KATE WINSLET IN TITANIC

It's been 19 years, and we can still recite every line of Titanic. The film, which sees Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as star-crossed lovers aboard the doomed ocean liner, won countless awards and broke numerous records (it was the highest-grossing film of all time for over a decade). One thing is for sure with this movie: We'll never let go.

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone's onscreen chemistry in Crazy, Stupid, Love was so good, Hollywood keeps pairing them up. The fan-favorite duo has gone on to star in two other movies together: Gangster Squad in 2013 and La La Land, which you can catch in theaters right now. Hey, if it ain't broke ...

RICHARD GERE AND JULIA ROBERTS IN PRETTY WOMAN

Pretty Woman is one of those classic feel-good love stories that we return to time and time again. After all, the movie turned Julia Roberts into America's Sweetheart (and a young and dashing Richard Gere ain't bad to look at either).

HEATH LEDGER AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL IN BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

Bring on the Kleenex. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal star in this heartbreaking tale of two sheep herders who fall in love at a time and place in history when their relationship could cost them everything. The film was a huge success, winning three of its eight Oscar nominations (the most nominations of any film in 2006).

PATRICK SWAYZE AND JENNIFER GREY IN DIRTY DANCING

Dirty Dancing is another one of those classics we all know and love. We can't decide what's more fun to watch: Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey's budding-yet-forbidden romance, or the fun dance numbers and '80s fashion. Let's call it a tie.

PATRICK SWAYZE AND DEMI MOORE IN GHOST

The first thing that comes to mind when we think of this movie? The iconic pottery wheel scene. Has there ever been a more romantic moment in a film?! We dare you to find one. Ghost, starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, is currently available on HBO.

If you're like us, you've seen How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days no less than a few dozen times, thanks to frequent television broadcasts. Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson are hilarious together, and we will never listen to the song "You're So Vain" again without thinking of this movie. Catch it on Netflix now!

BILLY CRYSTAL AND MEG RYAN IN WHEN HARRY MET SALLY

When Harry Met Sally  is the rom-com to end all rom-coms. There's the magnetic chemistry between Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, references to Casablanca, and one very iconic scene (ahem, the diner). If you've somehow missed this timeless film, we think you should make it a priority.

RYAN REYNOLDS AND SANDRA BULLOCK IN THE PROPOSAL

Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock (who received a Golden Globe Award nomination for her role in the film) were hilarious together and quite honestly adorable in this 2009 comedy. Audiences loved the pair so much so that rumors swirled for some time after the film came out that they might be dating in real life.
