The search for our Miss Universe Philippines for this year has been one of the most anticipated events so far! From the stunning headshots to fierce runway presentations, this batch of queens got the whole nation invested in the competition on social media.
Katrina Dimaranan, a crowd favorite candidate shows that her aura, grace, and effortless glam persona goes beyond the competition. Need proof? All you need to do is check out her beach photos! The beauty queen and reality TV show star (FYI, she participated in Love Island USA) has a penchant for eye-catching and “extra” poses on the sand that flaunts her curves in the most flattering way possible. Be warned, these pegs aren’t for shy girls. But if you’re hoping to win the Miss Universe crown, there’s no need to act coy.
7 Sultry Beach Poses to Try, As Seen On Katrina Dimaranan
1. To show off both the breathtaking views of the ocean and your bod, pose with the beach as the background and bend one knee and extend your leg. This makes you look longer and leaner in the pic!

2. Find the nearest palm tree and do the classic “walling” pose to show your “extra” side.
We guarantee that this will make people smile the moment they see it on the ‘gram, but it’s actually pretty flattering if you want to make your waist look smaller and emphasize your hips!

3. Your hotel room’s balcony is a breathtaking spot for beach photos. Just lean forward and hold the rails tightly and smile! Be sure to bend one leg to push back your butt for a curvier figure.

4. You can’t go wrong with the “Barbie Feet” pose.
This makes you look taller instantly! Just show off your body in a ¾ angle like Katrina for the illusion of an even smaller waist. Lastly, ask your boyfriend to join in on the shot as the perfect beach accessory!

5. Put on your brightest red swimsuit and pose like you're a lifeguard from Baywatch.
The tiptoe Kat is doing here is pretty clever, since it elongates her legs and overall body line more. With her chest out and shoulders pulled back, she was able to create this beautiful curve with her torso, too!

6. Bask under the sun and leave your footprints in the sand. The beauty queen can even make a simple sitting pose look flattering. Again, a single leg extended with toes pointed makes all the difference.

7. The beauty shows off her figure and aura as a true queen in this pose. Lie on your back, arch that waist, then tuck a leg.
This pose guarantees a more flattering look than laying still and flat on the shore. Try it yourself!
