With hands on hips and elbows out (6)
I believe the answer is:
akimbo
'with hands on hips and elbows out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for akimbo that I've seen before include "Posture with hands on hips" , "With hands on hips and elbows extending outward" , "(Standing) with hand on hips" , "Ballet step" , "display of arms" .)
