Priyanka Chopra Jonas felt “really nervous” wearing a cropped top again. The 41-year-old actress thought she’d be uncomfortable showing off her abs but was “really surprised” to find how at ease she was in the outfit and has now added the short t-shirts back into her wardrobe.
She told PopSugar: “I was training for a movie recently and I had a reintroduction with my abs after a long time. I hadn’t been confident about wearing crop tops and stuff like that. I was going to a public place and I remember I wore a crop top and skirt, and I was really nervous about it.”
“I was like, ‘Oh man, I’m not going to be comfortable sitting,’ and all those things that you think about when you’re wearing a crop top.”
“But I felt good because I felt healthy, confident, and fit and I was really surprised. I wasn’t sure when I was walking out the door but I was like, ‘Alright, I’m going to push myself.’ And then eventually I turned around and added that into my wardrobe a lot more.”
“If confidence was tangible, your outfit would be that.”
The ‘Citadel’ actress suggested the key to pushing outside of a sartorial comfort zone is for the person to make it their “version” of the outfit.
She said: “It has to be your version of it. My version of it was this experience.
“Confidence is about how you carry yourself once you let fashion resonate with how you’re feeling and you find your mode of self-expression.If confidence was tangible, your outfit would be that. It’s like wearing your confidence on the outside.”
“So ask yourself what you want to achieve today — whether you have a job interview or you’re just going to work and doing your hair differently or maybe trying a different hat.”
