Strike a pose: celebrity’s favourite poses on the red carpet

They may not look natural, but these stars clearly think they’ve hit a winner with these poses.

Depending on whether they want to maximise or minimise, slim or accentuate, celebrities have particular red carpet poses that they return to again and again.

The leg-out pose is probably the most common, and Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez take it to its full potential while Lea Michele relies on it more often but less exaggeratedly.

Beyoncé puts her hands on her hips to accentuate her curves, while Anna Kendrick uses a variation of the pose to make her arms appear slimmer.

As facial expressions go, Keira Knightley is in a constant pout while Megan Fox keeps her lips slightly apart as if she’s on the cover of a men’s magazine.

Plenty of stars like to look over a shoulder and Renée Zellweger is no exception. Scarlett Johnanson crosses her ankles or knees to show off her hour-glass figure. And Victoria Beckham is constantly bending her back like, well, Beckham.
