‘Shelfie belfie’ is the cheeky new Instag pose celebrities are loving

There was the “belfie” and the “selfie” and now celebrities have adopted an all-new craze that combines the two, to flaunt their curvaceous bottoms.

First came the “belfie” and then came the “shelfie”, and now the latest social media craze combines the two.

With holiday season in Europe fast approaching, celebrities are embracing the “belfie shelfie” all over Instagram.

Combining the two trends, the new pose sees stars showcasing their curvaceous bottoms while sitting on a ledge or ‘shelf’,” The Sun reported.

The ‘belfie shelfie’ sees celebs showing off their pert derrieres while posing on a ledge, as Kate Wright demonstrates here.

Olivia Buckland takes the trend a step further, going topless for her snap,

The flattering position means that the camera captures the derriere looking its most pert thanks to the support of the ledge.

Of course a bikini is obligatory when it comes to perfecting the belfie shelfie, and with a pool acting as the perfect setting it is sure to become the pose of the summer.

It has already been perfected by various celebrities who have been lucky enough to head off on an exotic break.

Chloe Ferry left little to the imagination with her itsy bitsy bikini.

Amber Rose showcased her curvy bottom in a revealing orange swimsuit.

It seems to be particularly popular with Love Island alumni, who clearly had a lot of practice while lounging around the pool at the villa.

While most seem to keep their backs to the camera some stars can be seen giving a cheeky look to the camera.

Then, carefully conceal your modesty using a hand or strategically-placed emoji before posting the snap to social media.
