The highlight of every year’s Met Gala is all about what the celebrities are wearing. We see the boldest, most extravagant looks being presented, proving there are no holds barred when it comes to dressing up for the annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year, we saw celebrities dressed to the nines in accordance to the theme – Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. Here are a few who showed us how to work a tricky Met Gala dress to their advantage with the art of simply posing strategically.
If you’re conscious about having wider hips, doing this can make them look smaller and also streamlining your silhouette. It also makes the pose look natural and relaxed, as seen on Hailee Steinfield.
This pose instantly makes your legs look longer and more toned. Also if you are petite like Alicia Vikander, doing this and subtly leaning back can make you look taller.
By doing this, you can elongate your silhouette, making your legs look longer, just like Bella Hadid who rocked up in thigh high booties. Putting one hand on your hip will also define your waistline.
This pose is all about showing off your well toned booty. If you’ve got it, don’t be afraid to flaunt it just like Beyonce!
If you’re in a volumnious dress like Zoe Saldana’s, try to create movement while being photographed. By doing so, you won’t get swallowed up by the dress, and a side angle will show off your frame plus the gorgeous details of the dress.
