There's This Thing Called "Baby Giraffe Pose" and Honestly, It Looks Pretty Good

If you follow Eva Chen (@evachen212) on Instagram, then you’d know that she likes posting OOTDs, aside from her signature #evachenpose.

LOLing because two colleagues walked up the stairs behind me, saw me taking this picture, and backed away slowly 😂

But lately, we’ve been seeing a new type of OOTD from this style star and director of fashion partnerships at Instagram. 

This dress is one size too big but I love the rosebud print so I got it anyway. Needless to say I spent all morning clutching my chest because I kept flashing my teammates 😵

Chen, a mother of two adorable toddlers seems to have a thing for feet when it comes to posing for photographs.

The pose that she is doing now involves tilting one leg forward and the other leg back, “like I'm a baby giraffe walking.”

it’s my TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY with @sxmco and for our anniversary my gift to him was that he got to take this #OOTD of me Ahahahaha

This stance makes you look taller and your legs look longer, even when you’re standing next to taller people.

Okay, yesterday I decided that my signature #igselfiemirror pose is called #babygiraffepose (one leg back, one leg forward, bum stuck out). VS supermodel @marthahunt said hers is called the Cowgirl (hands in pockets, one hip out). She also said that @hoskelsa does a similar move to the Baby Giraffe, but with a bit of a back arch 😂😂. Does that make me a honorary VS angel?!

Baby giraffe pose, explained: one foot forward, back foot slightly on tippy toes (like you’re coming off a step! This is how I discovered it, thanks to the steps in front of the #igselfiemirror). Hold the phone at a straight on angle. Ignore wonky hair from being slept on. Done! #babygiraffepose 🦒

We looked through the #babygiraffepose hashtag on Instagram and found some amazing shots.

I tried doing Eva Chen’s baby giraffe pose 😂. As per #evachen you have to stick your bum out, one foot back and the other forward. I think maybe I did my feet backwards. But hey, fun fact! my hubby who actually studied art said this is called a CONTRAPPOSTO! (it’s a human figure standing while putting most weight on one foot!) lol! _ anyway, this shirt is on amazon and it says “happiness magnet” on it because that’s me today 😎❤️🕉 _ #happinessmagnet #babygiraffe #babygiraffepose #contrapposto #counterpoise #fortlauderdale #coolmom #florida #southflorida #soflo #radiatepositivity #lawofpositivity #positivieenergy #zen #pinklady #filipina

Remember, you need to stick your bum put while doing it and the foot at the back should be slightly on tippy toes.
