Unlucky for us, we don't have the luxury of having our own lighting technician casting light in all the right angles. Thankfully, the beauty section over at About put a list together revealing five red carpet secrets to looking thinner in photos. Here's the gist of the list:

* Turn partially sideways, planting one foot in front of the other.
* Pull your head forward to eliminate double chin.
* Hold arms slightly away from the body.
* Take a deep breath as you pull your shoulders back, chest forward.
* Look away from the camera, then turn towards it, breaking into a smile before the camera clicks.
