How stars like Zendaya ensure every photographer gets their best angles on red ... trends now

Nicole Kidman sent fans wild after a viral video emerged of her posing up a storm on the champagne carpet at the 2023 Academy Awards, on Sunday night. 

And some A-listers are seemingly always perfectly poised, never failing to look less than utterly sensational in the images snapped of them as they arrive at showbiz events. 

But with a fast-paced conveyer belt of celebrities, a heaving press pack and camera lights flashing none-stop, what really happens on the Oscars red carpet? 

And, how do stars like Zendaya ensure that every single photographer gets their best angles? Read on for tricks from three experts.

In February, Zendaya posted a video of herself posing on the red carpet at the NAACP Image awards, throughout which a photographer could be heard shouting praise, much to her delight.

The star wrote alongside the clip: '''SERVING SERVING SERVING'' whoever you are, thank you…you made my night lol,' highlighting that she couldn't even make out individual photographers, and yet still managed to slay the shots.

Self-titled 'posing expert' Christine Buzan has claimed in a TikTok video that the Zendaya's perfect-picture secret is simple. 

After getting the 'base of her pose figured out' the actress then moves 'one part of her upper body at a time to create new poses,' according to Christine. 

In short, she stated that the key is to move your 'hands, shoulders and head slightly in between different shots,' adding that these 'slight adjustments' can make all of the difference.

When celebrities step on the red carpet, they are fluidly responding to the multiple photographers shouting at them to look their way, all while being instructed by event managers to move along to different points on the carpet. 

Alan has captured endless stunning shots of stars, and explained that most 'have a plan' for their short time in front of the cameras, with many even rehearsing in front of a mirror in their outfit ahead-of-time.

He explained that the most seasoned stars will try to work through each individual photographer in the press pack, going up and down and across the scrum, purposefully looking at each in turn, in the knowledge that eye-contact is key.

The pro revealed that those who have done many red carpets know not to walk between station points with their head down, and instead do their best to maintain eye contact with the camera's lens as they move along.

In terms of specific poses, Alan identified hands on hips as a go-to for anyone dressed in non-form-fitting outfits, citing Jamie Lee Curtis at last month's BAFTAs, who defined her silhouette by employing this technique.

He also warned not to have an arm hidden behind your back, insisting that having both arms out front and in view is vital, otherwise your body can look unbalanced. 

Alan added that to achieve the most flattering angle, the key is to look square on, before slightly turning to the side whilst tilting your chin ever-so-slightly towards your body.

In another major no-no, our red carpet expert said that in no circumstances should you ever tilt your chin up, adding with a chuckle: 'No one wants to see up your nose.'

The professional photographer further added that if you're wearing a gown with a bold split, the trick is to bend your supporting leg while extending the front leg through the slit to 'show as much leg as
