How can we look 10 pounds thinner in photos?

I love Oscar, Hollywood’s biggest party with the biggest stars. I am always curious why stars always look skinny in red carpet photos?

The secret is in the pose. Here are some tips:

1.       Stand like a ballet dancer.

Face front and cross one leg in front of the other one, then turn your body 45- degree angle towards camera and turn head and shoulders toward the camera. Place one foot angled in front of the other.

2.       Lean in towards the camera.

Think of having a long neck like a gazelle, and tilt your chin down just a bit to avoid the appearance of a double chin.

3.       Get a shoot from below

For long legs, point one leg into the center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body.

4.       Hold arms slightly away from your body.

This keeps upper arm flab from flattening out and therefore appearing flabbier.

5.       Just relax and give a big smile :)
