   The 39 Most Naked Dresses of All Time
   
   
   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.

Hairstyles That’ll Take Years Off Your Face

Credit: Getty Images

Finding the perfect, most flattering haircut is a challenge for all ages. Each
of us want a style that is going to make us feel our most confident and give us
that youthful appearance we're all looking to achieve. 

RELATED: The 8 Breakout Hair Trends of 2021

"When we age, we want to have a more glowing effect with our skin and our hair,"
says Natascha Hemple, salon field trainer for The Salon by InStyle Inside
JCPenney. "When I have clients that want to change their look to appear more
youthful, I ask them what they dislike about their look now. Then, I focus on
their face shape and the areas that seem to make them look older."

But going back to the cut you had when you felt your youngest probably isn't the
best route to go. So instead, test out these ageless styles below — from pixies
to hair that hits below the collarbone, we chatted with the pros to learn about
a few hairstyles that'll take years off your face. Get ready to get ID'd.

Try a stacked bob that is shorter in the back and longer in the front like
Cameron Diaz's cut here. Hemple says that the asymmetric cut will complement
practically any face shape. Plus you can wear it straight, curly, or tousled.

PIXIE CUT

Short Hair

"A lived-in pixie that has a little length around the face is a flattering style
for short hair. It's particularly youthful because it's a no fuss hairstyle,"
says Brian Zinno, education director at the Antonio Prieto Salon in New York
City. He adds it works on many face shapes, and is particularly low-maintenance,
which means you don't have to stress on styling it every single day. When
looking for a celeb picture to bring to the salon, we think Kris Jenner is a
no-fail option.

TOUSLED BOB CUT

Short Hair

If you're most comfortable with bob-length hair, go for a chin-grazing style
that incorporates layers. "It's youthful because while it's a bob length, the
layers around the face keep it soft and flowing without the usual angular lines
of a bob, and the layers in the crown or around the perimeter give lift and
movement." We love Viola Davis's soft, layered, and tousled bob, while Zinno
says that Helen Mirren is another example of this gorgeous look.

SHOULDER-LENGTH CUT WITH LAYERS

"Jennifer Aniston has had this length, and what makes is look youthful is when
the ends are shattered to keep it from looking blunt and heavy around the
perimeter," says Zinno. He suggests longer angles around the face and below the
jawline to keep the look flowing and soft.

MEDIUM-LENGTH CUT WITH LONG LAYERS

Eva Longoria has also demonstrated soft, shattered angles in the past, which she
seamlessly wore between sleek and straight styles and in effortless, loose
waves. Hemple says long layers always give off a youthful appearance. She adds
that off-center or side parts that "falls naturally in place can make the eyes
seem wider to give you a more youthful appearance. "

MEDIUM-LENGTH CUT WITH SIDE FRINGE

Long Hair

"A favorite timeless hairstyle for long hair is cascading layers flowing from a
shorter length around the face — a long fringe or side bang — to longer to the
back," says Zinno. "This creates movement in the style and opens up the face."
He suggests this cut styled in soft waves just like Julia Roberts.

LONG CUT WITH WAVES

As far as how long is too long? Zinno suggests keeping your length around the
breast bone area. And Hemple adds that waves or bouncy style, like Christie
Brinkley's here, "open all facial features to compliment a bright open look that
makes you look rested."

Updos

Zinno says that youthful-looking updos should be kept slightly undone and casual
and never too tight or polished. We love this low coif seen on Keri Russell.
