Patti has analyzed the body language of Victoria
Beckham, Lauren Conrad and Lea Michele for
In Touch Magazine to reveal what
their body language is saying. Read her insightful comments below!
1. Victoria
Beckham
Signature stance:
Left leg extended in front and kind of slouches on her left hip, too.
What does this pose reveal about Victoria
Beckham?
The pose is very
specific seductive come hither pose. The asymmetry sends the message I want to
give myself to you, but you will have to work for it. The asymmetry makes you
look a little longer and tilt your head so it seems like she could be giving
this pose lying in bed. The low slouch and outward turned elbow makes her chest
look more prominent and her profile slimmer.
2. Lauren Conrad
Lauren's
signature stance: Hand on one hip and slight tilt to her head.
What does this pose reveal about Lauren
Conrad? She wants to make
her body look more hour glass shaped. The hand on the hip is also a way to look
powerful, but just on one side the hand on the hip says, “I am strong, but
often the hand and or elbow are behind her. Her feet are often held so close
together belies her lack of confidence. ”
Does this pose accentuate a particular body
part? It is a way to accentuate
the hour glass silhouette.
Is this pose meant to flatter or look cutesy? It seems the hand on hip is a way to
make her FEEL more confident. But her head tilt and low placed chin and feet
show it doesn’t fully work. She is not confident in her iconic pose the way
Beckman is.
What's she trying to convey with the head tilt
and hand on hip?
The head tilt here is submissive.
Anything else you'd like to add about Lauren's
pose? I would coach her
to lift up her body and place her feet slightly farther apart to feel more
powerful.
3. Lea Michele
Lea's signature
stance: Over the shoulder, very sultry gaze...
What does this pose reveal about Lea Michele? I love how she created this perfect
combination of sultry and innocent. Perfect for her role and as she has matured
so has her confidence in her iconic pose. See how she has changed it.
Does this pose accentuate a particular body
part? Yes, her
vulnerable back.
Is this pose meant to be super sexy and like a
seductress?
It's very come hither! It’s seducing by not showing. innocent. It reminds me of
the young Brooke Shields sexy but innocent.
Anything else you'd like to add about Lea's pose? Notice that she is showing the back of the shoulder and the back of the ankle.
