More than the dash of glamour and the giddiness of taking home the golden trophy home, it’s the signature red carpet poses that make celebs stand out. Whether it’s the hands-on-the-hips look, the pouty picture or simply flashing their dazzling smiles, Hollywood beauties have done it all.
More than the dash of glamour and the giddiness of taking home the golden trophy home, it’s the signature red carpet poses that make celebs stand out. Whether it’s the hands-on-the-hips look, the pouty picture or simply flashing their dazzling smiles, Hollywood beauties have done it all.
But as we gear up for the next edition of the awards, here are some of the poses on the red carpet that we do not want to see. We do hope that actresses will pay heed and be more ‘spontaneous’ this time around. Read on:
Sticking the collar bone out: (Pic: Two)
One of the easiest ways to look ‘hotter’ and ‘thinner’ is to stick your collar bone out with a slightly parted lips of pout. This way, one side of your body (the one jutting out) will overshadow your flaws like big belly, tiny twins or even a broad shoulder. But this is one look we don’t to see as it’s too ‘wannabe’. C’mon, it’s the Oscars! Why should ladies opt for something as Page 3 as this? And if you must go this route, at least don’t wear an halter neck top. Cover your collar bone with a high-neck gown so you won’t look, well, horrible.
Hands on the hips: (Pic: Five)
The classic camera pose, preferred by most ladies will not go out of fashion. Although there’s nothing really wrong with this pose, it’s just not Oscar night enough for us. It’s something every beginner does and will not earn you brownie points. It should be done only when the actress is pregnant so that her hands can balance her belly and make her posture right. If you’re not pregnant and have been in the industry for more than two decades, DO NOT go down this route.
Showing off the booty: (Pic: Four)
Unless you’re JLO or Kim Kardashian or wearing a really sexy backless gown, you should not pose this way. It’s not just too ‘meh’, but also extremely desperate. Showing off only the booty also has disadvantages in terms of your gown. If your gown is rather pretty, why not flaunt it than just giving your backside all the attention? And if you’re hell bent on posing this way, please do not part your lips in the ‘oh-I-am-so-sexy’ way. It will make you look like a hooker and not a sexy star.
Pre-blowing of the kiss: (Pic: One)
Oh.Dear.Lord…this is one of the most childish of all poses…ever. When you have your fingers on your lips, all set to blow a kiss when the cameras start snapping away…know that pose? If not, think of Eva Mendes, she is always indulging in this cringe-worthy pose. It takes away everything from your outfit as people are only going to be looking at your face. Also, a non-manicured, chipped fingernails and wrong shade of lipstick will look more glaring when your strike this pose. Still want to go this way?
The head tilt: (Pic: Three)
Even if your head is aching to high hell or you have got water stuck in your ears, skip this pose. It makes the person look rather old, weak and also boring. The head tilt is usually preferred by those who like their one profile better than the other. So tilting their head in that direction draws the attention away from the flawed side. But this can get a tad ‘meh’, as there’s no way one can make the tilt look sexy or cute. It comes out blah. ALWAYS.
Let’s hope that 2014 changes it all and our lovely ladies strike sexy poses without any of the above mentioned ones. We want more innovation and glamour this time. Isn’t it?
