Who loves being papped?

celebrity style,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Red Carpet Posers

Celebrities are a strange breed. Some are shy and retiring - they fear the camera and try to avoid it at all costs, while others enjoy nothing more than giving us a good pout, a sexy wink or perhaps even flashing us a little (too much) flesh...

 

Here at handbag.com, we don\'t pretend to understand why these celebrities act the way they do, but we certainly enjoy guessing, so we\'ve rounded up our top 10 red carpet posers for your delectation, or discomfort, depending on how you look at it!

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Posers Paris Hilton

Princess of the celebrity posers, Paris Hilton has got her own particular brand of red carpet posing down to a fine art...

 

The glare: Nonchalant, but in a provocative way that screams, ‘I\'m so goddamn hot, you should all bow down and weep at my perfectly pedicured feet.\'

 

The stance: Cocky, hand on hip, leaning back, as if to say, ‘Yes, take my picture, adore me, but touch me and I\'ll snap your fat neck in two...\' Or something similar

Victoria Beckham

Everyone\'s favourite matriarch, Spice Girl Victoria Beckham is another of those celebrities who have managed to take their flair for posing to a whole new level...

 

The glare: The confrontational raised eyebrow and steamy stare that can mean only one thing, ‘I am hot property, and you all know it.\'

 

The stance: The coquettish tilt of the head, the pout to reign over all other pouts - this is the look of a woman who knows what she wants, and knows how to get it

 

Liam Gallagher

Liam Gallagher,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Posers Liam Gallagher

Normally a firm fan of the red carpet ‘two-fingered salute\', here we see Oasis\'s rowdier half, Liam Gallagher, making a major departure from his usual approach to posing...

 

The glare: Head back, eyes leering downwards; a look that can be mistaken for nothing other than ‘F*** you - I\'m a rock star!\'

 

The stance: Nothing says ‘I\'m \'ard, me\' more precisely than standing between two policemen and snarling...

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Posers Tom Cruise

There can be no man anywhere on this earth who could possibly beat prolific poser Tom Cruise, when it comes to the red carpet... Calculated, deliberate, creative and acutely aware of how to work those cameras to the greatest effect...

 

The glare: Well, that depends on what old Tom is out to prove that week, eg, how much he loves Katie Holmes, or how incredibly sane he is...

 

The stance: The ‘film star kiss\' pose made several appearances during the early stages of the TomKat romance - one might say too many, perhaps

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Posers Amy Winehouse

There\'s something rather cartoonish about the way Amy Winehouse strikes a pose. Like a bouffant-wearing Betty Boop, with tattoos...

 

The glare: Amy\'s not so much a glarer, more like a glancer who likes to peek coyly from under her big eyelashes and heavily kohled eyes...

 

The stance: A little awkward, but very endearing, Amy has the ‘little girl lost\' look down to a ‘T\'

Liz Hurley

Liz Hurley,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Posers Liz Hurley

Back in her ‘Hugh Grant days\', Liz Hurley had a bit of a thing for flaunting her flesh to all and sundry... These days she seems to prefer a rather more demure red carpet look, but we can\'t help missing the old raunchy version!

 

The glare: Confident, collected and very much self-assured.

 

The stance: Working those curves, baby, YEAH!

Jodie Marsh

Where to begin? Jodie Marsh has long reigned supreme as the biggest and brashest attention-seeker on the red carpet today. Just when we thought she could go no lower, she always manages to surprise and delight us with her daring choice of costume...

 

The glare: handbag.com\'s translation - ‘Spank me, I\'m dirty.\'

 

The stance: handbag.com\'s translation - ‘I have no shame\'

Lily Allen

Lily Allen,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Posers Lily Allen

Lily Allen flagrantly flouts her contemporaries’ attempts at the perfect pop-star pout by grinning like a cheesy Cheshire cat instead. Rare is the occasion that this Little Miss pulls anything other than a silly face on the red carpet…

 

The glare: Not so much a glare, more of an accidental grimace. Lily has yet to reach that stage in her career where she feels she must act like a proper poser in front of a baying crowd.

 

The stance: Akin to that of a child – but really rather sweet – we love you, Lil

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Posers Lindsay Lohan

There is nothing this mini diva will not do to capture the camera\'s sole attention as she sashays down the red carpet. As far as celebrity posers go, Lindsay Lohan is way up there in the heavyweight category...

 

The glare: Winks, flutters, sultry glances, sexy slants, a raised eyebrow or two - there is nothing this girl\'s eyes won\'t do while the flashbulbs are a-flicker.

 

The stance: With parted lips and hands on hips, Lindsay\'s seductive stance screams strumpet. Along with her come-hither stare, is it any wonder she has something of a reputation with the boys?

Dita von Teese

Dita von Teese,celebrity news Celebrity Gossip Posers Dita Von Teese

Dita von Teese may be well known for removing most of her clothing during her daring performances, but when it comes to red carpet manoeuvres, this girl\'s all class...

 

The glare: Sultry, sophisticated and a little bit saucy, this lady certainly ain\'t no tramp.

 

The stance: She may be an erotic dancer, but when Dita von Teese hits the celebrity walkway, she evokes that same silver-screen glamour as Garbo and Dietrich
