Being a celebrity has its perks. High-profile parties, chic fashion shows, red carpets, the list could go on for days. But living in the limelight also means being ready to have your picture snapped at any moment. In other words, you need to know your angles. Oftentimes, a great photo is more about how you pose than what you’re wearing. For example, the best celebrity side profiles are all about showcasing the features that can make or break a picture. Tilting your head to bring focus to a strong jawline or looking back to show off the neck and elongate your pose. Finding your angles takes time. However, you can take a cue from the best celebrity side profiles found just below.
