Priyanka Chopra on not feeling confident about wearing crop tops

When Priyanka Chopra was asked about trying out a trend or specific look that surprised her, she talked about wearing crop tops and showing off her abs. 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."'

Priyanka added, "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."

When asked what she puts on when she wants to feel confident, Priyanka said, "There are times when I want to wear my most comfortable sweatsuit and I don't have the luxury of it, because my job requires me to wear something that's completely opposite of what I might be feeling. And that's totally fine too, because I create space in my life for me to be able to wear my attitude, which could be good, bad, or ugly. I have my uniform - my go-to outfits that I wear when I'm not required to be on camera or when there's no pressure on me. There are a pair of sweats, crop top, and crop sweatshirt."
