We dissected each star's selfie strategy in the amazing photo. Remember, kids: No one wants to be a waving blur.


1. Don't fear the goofy grin. You can't always look sexy.

2. Double chins are the new laugh lines.

3. If you're talking when the shutter snaps, you will look drunk.

5. Try the "oh, are you taking a photo?" look.*

6. Waving will make you look like someone left you hanging for a high-five.

7. Stand out even in the background by showing off a big smile.

10. Give the camera to the person with the longest arms.

11. Look into the camera instead of at yourself.

12. Being a little bit in the group shot is ...

...better than not being in the shot at all.
