BEST FOOT FORWARD

The ‘Getting Leggy’ is the latest Instagram pose Megan Barton-Hanson and Kylie Jenner love – but you need to have VERY good balance

CELEBS certainly know how to work their best angles on Instagram.

And we can't help but notice that past and present Love Islanders, as well as the queen of Instagram poses Kylie Jenner, have started putting their best foot forward with what we're calling the "Getting Leggy" pose.

The leg-lengthening pose, a favourite move of Islanders including Megan Barton-Hanson, Ellie Brown, Samira Mighty and Georgia Steel, starts with a crouching squat before one leg in positioned in front of the other.

 

The girls can also be seen sucking in and resting one arm on the knee of the stretched out leg.

Love Islander Stephanie Lam can been seen taking this one step further by placing one hand behind her head and resting the other on the glass pane of her balcony.

By lengthening the leg and the torso, the mega-flattering pose is growing in popularity online, with Khloe Kardashian as well as Love Island alumni Kady McDermott, Gabby Allen and Montana Brown also being huge fans.

It seems to be the go-to holiday pose with several stars practising by the pool or in the sun.

Stephanie, from last year's series, wore a daring red plunge swimsuit with bright white trainers as she tried the leg-lengthening trick, while Kaz Crossley squatted by the pool.

Others opted for a casual look, with Georgia Steel and Samira Mighty looking cool in sporty chic styles.

Ellie Brown meanwhile stripped off to her underwear while posing for the camera.

To master the pose, you'll need to balance your body weight on one leg, while the other is stretched forward.

Despite it requiring a lot of balance, especially while posing for a snap, the girls seem to have it mastered - and they're making it look super easy.
