    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

Confession: Our jobs made us addicted to shopping (or maybe our shopping addictions got us our jobs—chicken or the egg, anybody?). Who can blame us though? When you’re spending at least 40 hours a week scouring the market for the best products to promote, you can’t help but be tempted. So of course, that makes us experts on what’s worth forking over your hard earned cash for.

We asked InStyle editors to share what goodies they bought this month, and boy, is the list long (but yet oh so good). From ultra-flattering jeans to seriously magical eye cream, see what we couldn’t get enough of this March.

"I love tennis shoes so dang much. Only thing is, I’m short—just north of 5 feet—so I need a pair with a substantial rubber sole (but not a platform, because I’m not a Spice Girl) to keep me feeling fresh to death and like a grown up. These kicks are hand made by master Colombian artisans, and the pink hue and rose gold accents are a breath of fresh air in my ever expanding arsenal of black shoes." —Courtney Higgs, Editorial Assistant

TOPSHOP MOTO JEANS

"In discovering Topshop jeans, I died and went to short-girl heaven. I'm an athletic 5'0 build which, when it comes to jeans shopping, is synonymous with hours in the dressing room and hefty guilt for handing 15+ "nos" back to the salesperson. Topshop jeans are MAGIC. Multiple petite lengths are offered specifically to suit girls 5'3 and under. The stretch makes them great for chic travel and the high waist makes me look my best at a price that doesn't terrify me. Winning!" —Colleen Lowery, Designer

I finally splurged for a fine french press coffee maker, and the Bodum model is by far the best. It creates the best cup of coffee for me before I dart into the office." —Aaron Valentic, International Assistant
