Belly-cupping.

Even one of my favourites, Evan Rachel Wood, is belly-cupping.

What is wrong with standing with your hands at your side?

If Carey Mulligan, my beloved, belly-cups when she’s pregnant, I might have to stay in bed for days.

In this case, the belly-cupping is taking away from a beautiful belted black dress.

Someone wrote to yell at me recently about belly-cupping, insisting that it’s perfectly natural. Is it? Are your arms at rest when you’re cupping? Do it. Cup your belly, or an imaginary one, right now. You are lifting UP, right? You are engaging your muscles. It’s a POSE.
