As you can probably tell by now, we over here at Preview HQ are always on the lookout for beach babes who can give us tutorials on how to ace our swimsuit pics. Getting the best bikini shot can be quite the challenge, but thankfully, there are tons of ladies we can glean some tips from.
Today, we're taking notes from Celeste Cortesi, who, in case you didn't know, was lauded not onced, but twice, for her swimsuit posing skills! The Filipino-Italian beauty bagged the Best in Swimsuit awards in both Miss Earth Philippines 2018 and Miss Universe Philippines 2022, both pageants she eventually won. Slipping into a swimsuit and looking like a total vixen is second nature to Celeste, who professes that she's a "child of the sea."
Ahead, check out 9 swimsuit poses of hers that will definitely set your IG feeds on fire.
LOOK: 9 Swimsuit Poses, As Seen on Celeste Cortesi
1. Just standing with one leg over the other already makes for a beautiful shot. Pick up some nautical props and look away from the camera for some added pizzazz.
2. If we could act out the phrase "soak up some sun", this would be how it's done. Stand on your tippy-toes, place your hands to the sides, and face the sky with your eyes closed.
3. Take a snap as you wake up in paradise by looking towards the sea and scrunching up your hair. Don't forget to elongate your figure by being on your tippy-toes.
4. If you're feeling a bit shy, you can position yourself to your side and raise both arms to make it look like your fixing your hair. This is also a great way to show off some ink on your thigh!
5. Look for a surface you can rest your body on and raise one arm up. This stance will make your bod look more slender with minimal effort!
6. Before getting out of the pool, take a quick pic by slightly raising one leg, putting your hands on the railings, and staring away.
7. In case the sun's too bright, you can cover your eyes and still make it an IG-worthy snap. This way, your toned bod will take center stage, with some shadows adding a bit of drama.
8. Sometimes all you need to ace a bikini shot is a sultry gaze and pout. Complete the shot just by sitting down and placing one arm on a surface.
9. You've probably seen vixens do the "gapang" pose all over Instagram, and you can totally nail it, too! Position both hands flat on the ground and smize away.
