A celebrity can wear the most gorgeous outfit, designer jewelry, and eye-catching shoes on the red carpet—but it could all fall apart without the right power pose. Knowing your angles is truly an art form—one that these stars have perfected over the years. From Kim Kardashian to Zendaya to Beyoncé, we've compiled the signature stances of Hollywood's biggest names.

While some are more obvious (we've all seen Taylor Swift's side glances), you've probably never noticed most of them. You might even pick up a few tips along the way, like how to do “The Beckham,” which is very different from “The Britney.” No matter which pose you find inspiration from, these stars are absolute pros, so you can't go wrong. Without further ado, here are a bunch of celebrities who always pose the exact same way on the red carpet.

1

Kim Kardashian

Kardashian stands with her hands by her sides, with one foot placed slightly in front of the other. If you want to show off your killer curves, this is the way to do it.

Taylor Swift

When there's a red carpet, you can count on Swift arriving with one hand on her hip. Don't forget that classic side-eye glancing up and to the left.

Zendaya

It's no secret that Zendaya can pull off any look, but the actress's signature stance makes her even cooler. Placing her hands near her center draws attention to her many midriff-baring styles.

Selena Gomez

In recent years, Gomez has adopted a similar pose. Instead of keeping one leg bent like Zendaya, she stands with both legs straight. This pose is sophisticated and helps her show off her beautiful statement rings.

Britney Spears

Spears is known for standing straight while clasping her arms behind her back. She lets her gorgeous outfits speak for themselves, without any distractions.

Sofia Vergara

The ultimate power pose ensures Vergara always makes a statement on the red carpet. She places both of her hands on her hips and stands with one knee slightly bent to show off her famous hourglass silhouette.

Lady Gaga

While the pop singer's pose closely resembles Vergara's, her hand placement is a little different. She positions her hands a bit higher, drawing the focus to her waist, rather than her hips.

Ariana Grande

The singer wears a lot of strapless looks, which works well with her go-to over-the-shoulder pose. She tends to look over her left shoulder, showing off that trademark ponytail.

Victoria Beckham

Beckham loves a good hand-in-pocket moment, especially while extending her left leg. The pose elongates her frame and makes her look relaxed in front of the camera.

Viola Davis

As an EGOT winner, Davis knows her way around a red carpet. She keeps things simple and often lets her clutch be the star of the show, displaying her statement bag with her hands by her sides.

Chrissy Teigen

Similar to Davis, Teigen is known for carrying a sweet clutch every now and again. The difference, however, is that she holds her bag with both hands directly in front of her.

12

Nicki Minaj

The rapper crosses her left leg over her right while keeping her hands by her sides. Not only does the confident pose show off Minaj's amazing figure, but it also helps photographers capture every detail of her outfit—right down to her shoes.

Kendall Jenner

While Jenner has a variety of poses in her repertoire (she is a model, after all), this seems to be her red carpet go-to. With her hands to the sides and her right leg pointed outward, she's able to show off those long legs every designer can't get enough of.

Emmy Rossum

Rossum wears a lot of backless looks and skin-baring straps, so this elegant over-the-shoulder pose is perfect for her.

Michael B. Jordan is one of the most handsome stars out there. So it makes sense why simply and effortlessly rubbing his hands together on the red carpet works for him.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

The Rock has also adopted this cool-as-can-be pose, keeping his hands relaxed in the center of his body, just like Jordan.

Jennifer Lopez

When you've got legs like J.Lo, you show them off. Lopez often wears dresses with high slits, so this pose suits her in the best way possible. Placing her hand on her hip and jutting out her leg is the ultimate pop star stance.

Rihanna

RiRi uses layers as accessories, often sporting an off-the-shoulder shawl or jacket. Pop one leg out just a little, place your hands in the middle, and you've got a pose that'll turn heads.

Robert Pattinson

That luscious head of hair helped Pattinson make a name for himself back in his Twilight era, so it's only fair that he continues to use it to his advantage.

Lindsay Lohan

Lohan spreads the love wherever she goes, blowing a kiss to the camera. Most of the time, she's seen with the other hand on her hip.
