    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.

    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

Broad City’s Style Is No Joke—Check Out 5 Fashion Risks from the Upcoming Season

With the third season of the raunchy comedy Broad City returning this week, so too will its LOL-inducing stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer and their crazy—and often misguided—outfits. But there is a method to the quirk you see onscreen, as costume designer Staci Greenbaum explained for InStyle's February issue.

“I work hard to make sure these two don’t look perfect,” Greenbaum told us. “With Abbi, she has a clear idea of who she wants to be, and she’s trying to figure out her style as she goes. Meanwhile, Ilana is so unapologetically confident that she redefines sexy. She can slip on a jersey without any pants and emanate coolness. Not everything they wear is flattering, but their outfits are certainly ballsy. That’s the point: Through Abbi and Ilana, I want to show that it’s OK to stumble. You don’t always have to get it right, but it is just so freaking fun to take some risks.”

So what risks will we see this season? Greenbaum took us on set with her in Brooklyn—and inside her wardrobe trailer—to pick out five significant items Glazer and Jacobson will wear in season three. Scroll down to see what they are and why they matter.

A Pair of Delicate Earrings for Abbi

Credit: Time Inc. Digital Studios

“Abbi gets promoted this season to a trainer at Solstice, which is a dream come true for her. She is the one who keeps a photo of Oprah on her wall. So buying these Catbird earrings signified celebrating a mini success. It’s like that feeling when you’ve been eyeing an item for a really long time and then you get them because you think you deserve them. Everyone has something like that—something they think is a good investment.”

Old-School Kicks for Ilana

“We are making these Reeboks happen for Ilana. She’s someone who looks at something and thinks, ‘That’s dope, I need it now.’ It doesn’t matter the price or if she can afford it. She’d rather buy something cool than pay her rent. Everyone knows somebody like that—the person who won’t go to get dinner because it’s too expensive, but then shows up later with a new designer bag.”

Colored Jeans for Abbi

“This pair of Current/Elliott denim is fun and colorful, and it’s a nod to how the original Abbi used to be—someone who is between being on-trend and being a little bit off. It’s like she’s effortless but also putting in so much effort.”

A Customizable Hat for Ilana

“This hat is by Brick Brick, and I customized it so the letters say different things, like Lincoln or Bad. It’s a unique piece, for sure. And it’s also not cheap. With Abbi, you can explain everything that she wears as a look that she’s trying. But with Ilana, as this hat represents, you look at her and think, ‘What are you doing?’”

Crazy Pants for Ilana

“I’m obsessed with these red pants Ilana wears from Ace and Jig. What is so great about this show, with every step forward they take, they also take three steps back. A lot of people ask questions about the evolution of their characters and how are we going to see them grow. But their growth comes in a lot of forms. Showing that is the best part.”
