duck face

Pouty photo expression

Duck face is a facial expression made for photographs, characterized by pursed lips pushed outward to create the appearance of fuller, poutier lips.

The pose became ubiquitous in selfies during the 2010s and is now often mocked as vain or clichéd: She made a duck face in every single photo.

The name comes from the resemblance to a duck's bill.
