An expert has lifted the lid on Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey's body language during their appearance at the Grammys.
The Canadian singer, 31, and Rhode businesswoman, 29, looked like the perfect celebrity 'it' couple as they stormed the red carpet at the annual music awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (1 Febraury).
Hailey donned a strapless black dress from Alaïa that boasted sheer cutouts on the skirt and thighs, while her hubby sported a matching oversized black suit.
On the red carpet, the couple posed and linked arms, with Justin wrapping his arm around his wife as they faced the cameras, before heading inside to watch the ceremony and perform his song 'YUKON'.

As we say, a body language expert has weighed in on the famous duo's latest appearance at the Grammys, pointing out that they have 'no real desire to perform for the cameras' and gave a 'high-impact look and a lesson in A-list cool'.
Body language expert Judi James told the Daily Mail that Hailey and Justin's 'form of silent communication on the red carpet is sparse and unusual'.
She explained: "Their tactile behaviour increased as they went from spot to spot. At the start, they posed without touching and there was only one moment of touch between them when Hailey bent to straighten her hem and held onto his bicep briefly for balance."
"By the second pose she had linked her hand into his arm, and they were holding hands later on, but they seem not to be using eye contact at all."
The expert said both parties 'looked too cool to smile' but Justin did at one point 'hike his mouth upward to suggest a desire to be seen as more friendly."
However, James believes the celebrity couple weren't 'performing' for the audience or using 'power-couple cheese'.
She revealed: "The lack of any show-pony rituals like kissing or draping suggests no real desire to perform for the cameras emotionally apart from to look both together and cool."
Later adding: "Following what have at times looked like his "wilderness" years when his signature look has been baggy casuals and a head-bowed set of aversion signals towards the cameras, Justin arrived on the red carpet with Hailey showing strong signs of repair in terms of confidence and style.
"The couple looked elegant here, and although Justin did at first follow Hailey out with his head slightly bowed, he moved on to adopt a pose that made him look like the one in control of the moment, with his legs splayed in a pose of alpha confidence and his hands in his trouser pocket."
It comes just after lip reader Nicola Hickling spoke to The Mirror about Hailey and Justin's red carpet interactions, alleging that he the latter told his wife: "Don’t grab me."
The report comment took place after Hailey reached out for Bieber's arm while posing for papparrazi, prompting him to shake her off before walking away.
Following the remark, the duo then stepped away from each other and posed for photos separately.
After some time, the model moved closer to her hubby and they held hands before continuing down the red carpet.
Tyla previously contacted reps for the couple for comment.
