Jazz Legs: The Photogenic Pose That's Going Viral

We love finding new ways to snap photos, especially when it’s as easy as standing in a new way to take a super-flattering mirror selfie. In recent years, we’ve seen “Barbie feet” and the “baby giraffe pose” go virtual, but if you take a scroll through Instagram now, you’ll discover that celebs, models, and fashion people have a new trick for pulling off photogenic outfit photos. Let me introduce you to “jazz legs”, everyone—a term we coined because of the bent, Fosse-like leg that looks it belongs in a dance routine.

To master the pose, simply lean on your back leg and bend it at an angle, keeping your front leg forward and straight with your toes pointed. It instantly lengthens the body and gives the illusion of longer legs, so it’s easy to see why it’s become the new go-to stance for selfies right now. Ahead, see the “jazz legs” pose in action, including how I test-drove it myself.

After seeing many photos of the "jazz legs" pose on my Instagram feed, I tried it out for myself. Like I mentioned, it's very easy to pull off—just leaning back on your back leg and bending it at an angle.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the person who really put the "jazz legs" trend on the map for me. I noticed that she does this post on repeat during her regular series of outfit roundups on Instagram.
More proof that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a big fan of the "jazz legs" pose.
French fashion girl Camille Charriere shows that she's also behind the photogenic pose. Plus, a great outfit idea, pairing a puff sleeve top with slit leggings.
A leg-baring looks like this mini dress and white ankle boots is the perfect outfit for the "jazz legs" pose.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
