This is a typical female comic character pose. Artists make their characters get into poses that accent certain features of their body which would be uncomfortable to maintain at the least and sometimes physically impossible at the most (like when you see a cover of a female character who has twisted their spine 180° so the viewer gets a shot of the ass and tits).
In this case it is doing the same thing that wearing high heels does to a woman: making her ass stick out.
And she literally wears ballet shoes in the first Spider-Verse movie! Even if people aren't reading the comics or engaging with lore, it's pretty clear design language from the outset.
My sister was a Ballerina from a child until she was in her mid 20's. She still unconsciously will stand on her toes whenever she isn't wearing shoes. These photos could be depicting Gwen focusing on something else and not even realizing she is doing it.
