Instagram is great for when it comes to spotting a trend. First we saw that Topshop dress everywhere this summer, followed by muted leopard print. And now? It's a specific pose that seems to be spreading everywhere.
So wave goodbye to 'Barbie feet' and say hello to the 'baby giraffe pose' - which looks as cute as it sounds. Coined by Head of Fashion at Instagram, Eva Chen, the idea of the pose is to with one foot forward, and the other a little raised.
Along with a photo of her doing the pose, Eva wrote,
"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 🦒"
Needless to say, since she pointed it out, we've noticed it everywhere:
Anybody fancy being our official photographer for the day so we can try this out? No?
