Hollywood stars have dozens of professionals working on their looks. That’s why they know how to look younger in pictures, hide “unnecessary” details and emphasize the advantages – just choose the right pose.
To make your pictures worthy of the red carpet, we have collected the most striking poses that make you look flawless.
Teapot
A classic and very feminine pose: one shoulder is raised and the opposite hand is on the hip. This position helps to “make” the waist, emphasize the collarbones and correct the figure in those places where it is not all right. This is one of the most successful poses.
Do not use: if the shoulders are too thin.
Hourglass
Half-turn pose, with one arm at the waist and the other lowered and legs slightly crossed. Allows you to create curves, elongate the legs and hide flaws. This pose is versatile and suitable for almost any outfit.
Do not use: there are no contraindications. The main thing is to keep your back straight.
Step to the side
Although this is one of the most unnatural poses, it adds dynamics and creates the feeling that the person is right on the spot and trying to constantly slip away. In addition, the “step to the side” visually lengthens the legs.
Do not use: if you are wearing a floor-length skirt. If your legs are not visible, the effect will be quite the opposite.
Angelina
This pose was named after Angelina Jolie back in 2012. The pose became so popular that the unnaturally exposed leg of the actress had a personal Twitter account. Laugh out loud, but this pose is often used on the red carpet, because it perfectly shows off the outfit and visually elongates the legs.
Do not use: if the dress is a non-uniform color or you have a small stature.
Double arm
This pose demonstrates 100% confidence in yourself and your appearance. Your arms are at your waist and your shoulders are slightly raised. It helps to emphasize the beautiful collarbones, draws attention to the curves, reduces the waist and shows the outfit in all its details.
Do not use: there are no contraindications. The pose is easy to perform and suits almost everyone.
Step Up
Victoria Beckham’s signature pose. The position is half-turned to the camera, leaning on the right leg, the left one is set forward. This is an incredibly seductive pose, which looks great from either side. Visually reduces the hips and helps you appear slimmer.
Do not use: if you have a type of figure “pear” (wide hips and narrow shoulders).
The royal look back
A majestic and elegant pose that looks like it was made for dresses with a chic train. Make it look like you’re leaving and then just look back a bit. The pose accentuates the waist and creates an “elusive” look.
Do not use: if you don’t have a puffy dress with a neckline. Or if you’re not ready to look back all the time.
Folded arms
Seemingly very modest pose, but it allows you to demonstrate a fashionable clutch or manicure. And if you have a moderately short dress, your legs will seem slimmer and longer.
Do not use: if your skirt is too short. In this pose and short skirt you will look shy and uptight.
Side accent
Feet shoulder width apart and body slightly tilted to the side. This pose is suitable for short and business outfits. It emphasizes the slimness of the legs.
Do not use: if you are wearing too short or tight skirt.
Over the shoulder
Looking over the shoulder is a pose of the highest level. It was popular back in the 20s – the same time when dresses with an open back appeared. It perfectly emphasizes the hips and the curve of the back. A girl in an open-back outfit taking this pose can literally kill with her eyes.
Do not use: if you do not have an ideal figure.
Slim curve
Turning in profile is suitable for those who want to boast about the smooth curves of the body. The pose accentuates the back, buttocks and shoes.
Do not use: if the butt is not the most prominent part of the body.
Lowered arms
A seemingly simple pose that does not draw attention to the persona. However, it is well suited to show off the outfit without distracting attention from it with unnecessary gestures. By the way, it is also excellent for austere outfits.
Do not use: with short skirts and low height.
