The Photogenic Pose I Use in Every Photo

Earlier this summer we introduced you what be named ‘Barbie feet,” a term we coined for a pose taking over Instagram right now. From celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Bella Hadid to Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb from the Today Show, everyone is trying the pose. Since you all seem to be very interested in the topic, I decided to hop in on the conversation and share the photogenic pose I’ve used for years and it works like a charm.

The pose is similar to Barbie feet but here’s what I do: When I’m sitting, I always pop one knee and extend the other leg and point my toes (as you’ll see in photo one and three). For when I’m standing I do something similar but I put my weight on my back leg and again extend my front leg and slightly point my toes. This trick makes my legs look longer and gives the illusion of adding a few inches to my height. See the photogenic trick I use in action below and try it the next time you pose for a photo.
