    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

There’s no shortage of good music these days, but the sheer quantity of tunes renders it challenging to figure out what really deserves a listen (or two, or seven). This week, we’re blasting two brand-new albums: Chicago alt-rock band Wilco’s tenth LP, Schmilco, and British electronic music duo AlunaGeorge’s second effort, I Remember, along with two of 2015’s greatest hits by Adele and Drake in advance of their respective headlining tours. And thanks to a certain podcast, Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s infectious single has climbed—wait for it—all the way up to the top of our commuting playlist.

25 BY ADELE

“I saw Adele perform live for the first time at Madison Square Garden last week, and now I can’t stop rolling in the deep with her entire music catalog. I’ll never get sick of listening to “Hello” or “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” from her latest album, 25, but hearing her tell the stories behind some of her early hits, like “Chasing Pavements” and "Hometown Glory” reminded me how brilliant she has been since day one. In concert, she also played her amazing cover of Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love”, which was first featured on her 2008 debut album, 19. It’s definitely one to add back into your shuffle if you’re in the mood for a power ballad.” Buy 25 for $11 on the iTunes Store. 

—Jennifer Ferrise, senior editor

“All the Way Up” by Fat Joe and Remy Ma feat. French Montana and Infrared

Credit: Courtesy

“I was listening to Buzzfeed’s Another Round podcast this week—the episode featuring film and TV director, screenwriter, and jack-of-all-trades Ava DuVernay—and she mentioned her pump-up song was Remy Ma and Fat Joe’s ‘All the Way Up.’ Ava knows what she’s talking about. I’ve had that song on rotation all week to get me ready to hit the ground running at work.” Buy “All the Way Up” feat. French Montana and Infrared for $2 on the iTunes Store.

I Remember by Aluna George

Credit: Courtesy

“I’ve been waiting for AlunaGeorge’s next album for quite some time (read: three years), so I was stoked when it finally came out Sept. 16. Whether I’m at work or the gym, going out with friends, or stuck in traffic, the duo’s sophomore album, I Remember, has been on repeat ever since I got my hands on it. I love the mix of soulful, slower tracks and poppy dance numbers, and there are some really great messages in the lyrics, too. It’s hard to choose a favorite song, but ‘I Remember’ and ‘Full Swing’ are two of my top picks.” Buy I Remember for $10 on the iTunes Store.

—Tessa Trudeau, editorial assistant

Schmilco by Wilco

Credit: Courtesy

“I’ve been a Wilco fan for quite some time, and Schmilco, the band’s new cheekily-named tenth album, is arguably their greatest since 2007’s Sky Blue Sky. The intimate sound is reminiscent of their earliest work—from guitarist Nels Cline’s off-kilter riffs to frontman Jeff Tweedy’s soothing, mellow vocals. In particular, the opening track, ‘Normal American Kids’—about the struggles of fitting in—reminds me of my favorite Wilco song of all time, ‘Misunderstood’—lyrically and sonically. But each one is beautifully understated in the best way possible.” Buy Schmilco for $10 on the iTunes Store.

What a Time To Be Alive by Drake and Future

Credit: Courtesy

“In preparation for Drake and Future’s Summer Sixteen tour two weeks from now in N.Y.C., I’ve been listening to both rappers on repeat. I even have a full Spotify playlist with the songs they’ve been performing at each concert so far, with tracks from their joint 2015 album What a Time To Be Alive. Of course, Drake’s latest venture, Views, is on there, too—but I think I’m most pumped for the medley of his OG hits, including ‘Over’ and ‘Up All Night.’” Buy What a Time To Be Alive for $10 on the iTunes Store. 

—Samantha Simon, assistant editor
