Real queens fix each other’s crowns, and Gabriella Halikas is doing just that by giving out advice to help women pose better in photographs. The 2021 Swim Search finalist, who is currently signed to Ford Models, shared a TikTok in which she provided her expertise.

The 26-year-old stood in front of a full-length mirror in a blue mini dress as she demonstrated a few poses. First, she stood with one leg out to the side, then instead shifted her leg in front of her body to show the difference.

“You have to know the shape of your body and what you want to accentuate,” Halikas explained, adding that the type of outfit also make a difference when it comes to poses.

She then focused on arm placement, noting that placing them at your sides is fine, but placing them on your hips can help elongate the body. “Put your shoulders down and back, kind of grace the side of your hip like this and let your hand just like sit right there,” she narrated.

“The leg in front is a game changer,” one fan observed in the comments.

“Queeeeen! Thank you,” someone else applauded. “I must practice this pose. Thank you 🥰.”

“This is what I needed👏😍,” another follower cheered.
