'Barbie feet' is the latest pose to take over Instagram and celebrities are obsessed with it
Redeem now - "Barbie feet" is the latest posing fad to dominate Instagram.
- The idea is to make it look like you're wearing high heels when you're actually barefoot and probably on a beach.
- To get the look, you hyperextend your legs, point your toes, and delicately arch your foot as if an invisible block heel or wedge was stretching it out.
- The name, crafted by Who What Wear, pays homage to retro Barbie dolls, who are always wearing heels.
- The pose joins the skinny arm, the plandid, and the migraine-slash-DIY-face-lift poses that came before it.
Summer is in full swing, which means another Instagram posing trend is here. This year, welcome "Barbie feet" to the ranks, a pose that makes it look like you're wearing high heels when you're actually barefoot and probably on a beach.
The pose was given its tongue and cheek name by Who What Wear, as the outlet was evidently inspired by the eternally high-heel clad retro Barbie dolls.
It sounds complicated, but the move is actually pretty simple in execution. All you have to do is hyperextend your legs, point your toes, and delicately arch your feet as if they're being stretched by invisible block heels or wedges.
And when it comes to "Barbie feet," all the stars appear to be doing it.

The celebrity-approved pose is easy enough to try at home, and will likely be making its way to an Instagram feed near you soon.
"Barbie feet" joins the skinny arm, the plandid, and the migraine-slash-DIY-face-lift poses that came before it.
And while an Instagram pose is all in good fun, it is always worth remembering that what you see on social media isn't always what's happening offscreen.
