This is from a magazine article describing who was at a fashion awards dinner. I'm stuck on the whole sentence in which "cadera" appears.
"DD, de lo feliz que estaba, aplaudía sus modelos preferidos como una señora de público de un programa de Terelu. Y MS, con su vaporoso Caprile, se buscaba la **cadera** como si la hubiera perdido."
Does this mean MS was looking for her "hip"?
I really don't get it.

If this is truly her hip, could she have been walking around with her hand on her hip, trying to look gorgeous?
