It actually (kind of) is! The stance where the figure is standing with most weight on one foot and the arms and upper body twisted off-axis is called Contrapposto (or counterpoise) and was first used in ancient greece in the 5th century. Statues suddenly weren't rigid and stockstill anymore but looked like they were moving in a relaxed way, making them look more human than before. For example the
Doryphoros man by Polykleitos or later Michelangelo's David are some of the most well-known statues of the Contrapposto. A few years ago an eye-tracking study was done to figure out the appeal of counterpoise-statues and it was found that the perceived attractiveness was much higher in those kind of statues as opposed to non-counterpoise ones, e.g.
egyptian ones where all body parts are on one plane if that makes sense. That's also why gods and godesses of love and beauty are often depicted in such a pose.
That being said, not even the Contrapposto can save this
bleeping train wreck of a photo. Imagine looking back at photos taken during your first pregnancy and thinking "oh my god I look like a
bleeping mealworm in 99% of them!"
