Sometimes it can feel incredibly daunting posting your own snaps for your followers to see.

Or more specifically, a new pose.

If you take a closer look at any celebrity Instagram account, you might have started to notice a certain similarity between their photos.

That's because they've all been doing something very specific with their feet.

Dubbed, 'Barbie feet' by Who What Wear, the stylish pose has taken social media by storm.

But the trick is so simple you'll kick yourself for not thinking of it before.

'Barbie feet' involves balancing on the balls of your feet, as if wearing an invisible pair of high heels.

The shape and position of the foot when doing the pose can be compared to that of a Barbie doll, whose feet are moulded into a permanent point - hence the name.

People are opting to strike a pose in this way for one very obvious reason. It's incredibly flattering.

It's no secret that heels are the most flattering form of footwear as they elongate the legs and make them appear slimmer.

So Instagram pros are opting to create the illusion of wearing heels to appear more photogenic in places where shoes just aren't practical.

It's especially favoured by stars posing in bikinis on the beach with bare feet.

Scroll through the Instagram feeds of the likes of Bella Hadid, Victoria Justice, Yovanna Ventura or Kourtney Kardashian and you'll see the pose in action.

If that weren't enough, it works while sitting down too, as a post by Kendall Jenner sitting on an inflatable unicorn highlights.

Another bizarre trend recently seen on Instagram is that of the upside down bikini.

This has seen women taking the straps of their bikinis and tying them under their boobs to make the bikini look inverted.

The trend was kick-started by Italian model Valentina Fradegrada and has proved popular for the way it exposes extra cleavage.
