    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

Just as we near the peak of summer ( yay, summertime fun! But also yikes, summertime heat), we can’t help but to keep a list of all the tried-and-true summer products we swear by. And by that, we mean the stuff that never fails, the repeat items we stock up on every summer, and the products we cannot live without for a single day of the sunny season (or at least, like, our quality of life would be stunted without them).

We went around the office and asked what InStyle editors deem a summer must-have. From a luxurious (and yet hyper-affordable) self-tan towelette to an SPF-infused day cream, shop the under-$100 summer buys InStyle editors can’t get enough of.

DAY CREAM

"To keep my skin hydrated—and give my face a base layer of SPF—I always reach for Shiseido's day cream in the warmer months. It's light, absorbs quickly, and protects all day long!" -Leigh Belz Ray, Features and News Director

SELF-TAN TOWELETTE

$29
SHOP IT

"I'm a redhead with a lot of freckles, so I try to stay out of the sun as much as possible. TanTowels give me a healthy glow without risking skin damage. I suggest trying the classic towels first and then upgrade to the plus towels if you want a little more color." -Lauren Kane, Site Producer

ONE-PIECE SWIMSUIT

"I already own this suit in black (it's a classic for a reason!), but this summer I am going for a bold statement with the cherry red color way! I also love that they offer monogramming to make it more personal." -Kristina Rutkowski, Market Editor

CROPPED JEANS

SHOP IT

"These jeans are more comfortable than most pajamas, and the cropped length is perfect for showing off my favorite ankle-wrap wedges. The fact that they're available in an incredible range of sizes—6 through 32—is icing on the cake." -Dianna Mazzone, Beauty Editor

PASHMINA SCARF

$99
SHOP IT

"There is nothing more essential to me in the summer than my navy pashmina. I know it's weird to obsess over a scarf in the hottest season of the year, but hear me out. It's the right lightweight warmth for a breezy beach day, but it's elegant enough to double as a wrap at an evening wedding. It's also a godsend in an overly air-conditioned office or flight. I don't travel without it." -Emily Shornick, Sr. Multimedia Editor

SLIP DRESS

"A slip dress is my summer must-have because it's simple yet elegant. Easy and carefree when you're in a rush and need to run errands, yet chic and polished enough to wear out to drinks with friends." -Jenna Pizzuta, Fashion Assistant

NET BAG

SHOP IT

"Haven’t you heard? Netted totes are the new regular totes, but cheaper (most cost less than my daily caffeine consumption) and more French. A pro tip from the superbly chic SoHo shop girl who sold me mine: Layer a canvas bag of a similar size inside for a cool mix of textures—and insurance against your lip balms and breath mints falling out!" -Alison Syrett, Fashion Writer
