    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).Ā  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 forgetĀ 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. BeyoncĆ© 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.

Plates. Glasses. Sheets. A vacuum cleaner. These are all (somewhat) registry givens, and rightfully so. Newlywed homes require some basics, and the period between your engagement and wedding is your chance to make sure all your registry bases are covered. Use this time to decide which essentials need upgrading, which need tossing, and which need a nod on your wedding wish list.

Once you’re done talking bath towels and pasta bowls, the real fun begins. We are firm believers in making your registry truly reflect you as a couple. Are you drawn to experiences, electronics, or perhaps some funky décor? Are you planning an adventurous honeymoon that begs for new luggage? Maybe you want a cash fund for dinner at your favorite local restaurant.

Our philosophy is this: if you’re adding personal details to your big day, add wedding gifts that represent your collective taste and interests. That’s where these super unique gifts come in that we swear will blow your guests away.

From a miniature drone and 3D pancake-printing robot to a foosball table and fish hotel, here are some memorable recommendations to get you started. Add a few of these gifts to your registry, and they’ll be sure to get newlywed life off to an even greater start.
