Lorin Gutierrez-Approved Instagram Baddie Poses We're Copying
1. Pretending to touch up your lippie with your finger as you get snapped is a vital pose in an Instagram baddie's posing playbook.
2. If you don't know what to do with your hands when you're getting your picture taken, take a page from Lorin's book and pretend to fix or zhuzh up your hair. It can look cute or sultry, depending on your facial expression!
3. For a simple way to show off your 'fit that still provides maximum impact, we recommend putting both arms behind your back like Lorin.
4. This one is for the beach babes: Lean back and let the sun hit your face for the ultimate golden hour photo.
5. If you're still feeling apprehensive about doing sultry poses, this is a baby step in the right direction. With your back facing the camera, lounge on a chair and make sure to push out your booty. It's the perfect pose for the girlies who don't want their face to be seen but they still want to be seen, IYKWIM.
6. Looking for something more cutesy and demure? Pop one foot up and keep your hands and arms relaxed.
7. The "Bambi" pose—where you pose with your thighs over your calves and your hands resting on your thighs—will always look good. Here, Lorin demonstrates a modified version of it where her arms and hands are resting behind her.
8. Squatting on the ground while pushing your booty out is a classic Insta baddie pose, and no, we will not be taking any questions about this! It will always look good.
