What does this hand gesture mean?

Basically putting the back of your right hand next to your check with fingers facing down at a 45 degree angle? or sometimes both hands.

I keep seeing women do this when taking a photo.

Isn't it just a pose? I don't think it has any meaning, it just sort of highlights your face.

It's just a look at me I'm so cute pose

It’s a handy signal to everyone that you’re a knob.

Maybe to do with the Wicked film? There is a dance with hand gestures that could be it - and the main characters do that to each other as a kind of in joke afterwards

It’s an international spy symbol. Although you’ve kinda ruined it now by bringing it up, I’ll have to change it.

It's gen Z vanity crap for social media. 🙄 Like pp says, look at me being cute. 🤢
