Our Top Tips on Posing for Prom Pictures
It's prom night! You've been stressing about prom pics and TikToks ALL week! Well now you don't have to worry, its time! We already know you will slay with your pics and vids on the gram! Camille La Vie wanted to give you some tips on posing because we know you will be taking HUNDREDS of pictures!
Try the Tongue Trick
I bet we have all heard about this trick but you might as well try it! Gently press your tongue to the roof of your mouth as you grin. This trick helps lengthen your neck and jawline and (ta da!) eliminates a double chin. Sign. Us. Up. You know you have to look "SNATCHED" during these pics, especially if you are going to make it Instagram official!
Check Your Posture
Repeat after us: Do. Not. Slouch. Rather than over-arching your back, pretend an invisible string is pulling you up from the crown of your head. Think of lengthening versus bending your spine back (because…ouch).
Turn to the Side
Fact: no one looks flattering facing the camera head-on. Whether you’re in a group photo or posing solo, angle your body about 45 degrees to the side (i.e. midway between facing the camera and totally sideways) Make sure you pick your fave side (everyone has their favorite face side... right?). Don’t forget to tilt your face slightly as well, and if one arm is free, place it on your hip for a super slender effect.
Don’t Forget Your Legs
Looking fab in photos is truly a head-to-toe effort! Make your legs look long, lean, and model-esque by crossing one foot behind the other. It doesn't matter too much if you have a ballgown or tiered dress. However, if you ladies are wearing a side slit dress, SHOW OFF THOSE LEGS! Bonus: this tip also works if you’re sitting down!
Do Your Own Thing
This one only applies to group shots. Whether you’re posing with one or three of your besties, have everyone casually do their own thing for a natural, non-stiff look. Pop one leg, blow a kiss, or giggle while looking at the gal next to you for an adorable, we’re-totally-being-spontaneous shot. The best tip for a flawless photo? A standout prom dress!
