Stars and celebrities of the show are always photographed with elongated neck and raised chin, this is because a smooth and tapered neck is synonymous with femininity, just think of the painter’s works Modigliani, which precisely through the elongated necks gave the women he painted an image of sublime beauty, an allegory of perfection.
The collar of Venus (this is the name of the wrinkles on the neck) has nothing divine but rather they highlight a weaker musculature than the face and show the wrong posture and neck movements.
