Arms "akimbo" is a term I have heard used referring to two hands on the waist.
From dictionary.com:

with hand on hip and elbow bent outward

Hi L3, welcome to English Language & Usage. This is on the way to being a good answer, but note that this site is a bit different from other Q&A sites: an answer is expected to be authoritative, detailed, and explain why it is correct - preferably by quoting a reference (e.g. a dictionary definition) hyperlinked to the source. You can edit your post to add this detail; for further guidance, see How to Answer. :-)

It's called.... "putting your hands on your hips", or possibly the "hands-on-hips pose".
Google gives me 1.9m hits for "hands on hips".
