A new week means a new Instagram trend, and this time around, be prepared to welcome 'Barbie Feet' onto your timelines.
We've already seen influencers across the social media platform adopt 'The Bambi' (where you kneel on your, er, knees, and lean your body backwards) and the pose which involves putting a towel on your head, but now there's a new position doing the rounds.
Coined 'Barbie Feet' by Who What Wear, the pose involves pointing your foot as if you're wearing high heels to make you look taller, even if you haven't got any shoes on. Cleeeever.
They write, "While Barbie's plastic feet are permanently moulded into a pointed position, Instagram pros are whipping out the pose when they want to elongate their legs in photographs."
Yep, it's already a trend going global:
Happy posing!
