Try these three poses and perfect the stance of a red carpet pro.
Strike: The Svelte-From-The-Side Stance
Here’s a red carpet pose cribbed straight from beauty pageant runways. Turn your body to one side, suck in your tummy, and slightly arch your back to create the illusion of a much more shapely rear. For maximum effect, cock your head down to one side and don’t forget to stand up straight! Slumped shoulders ruin this stance every time.

Pose: The Double-Handed Hip
One hand on one hip looks confident and at-ease, but when you need to bring out the big guns, consider placing both hands on your hips. A very pose-y pose, reserve this one for situations where you want your star to shine—moments when you’re looking to be the center of attention. Square off your shoulders and stand up straight—just don’t forget the coy gaze and sly smile.
