Priyanka Chopra Jonas has had a ‘reintroduction’ to her abs.
The Baywatch star, 41, says working out for a recent film left her torso so defined she is now back to wearing more crop tops to show off the results.
She told the PopSugar website: ‘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.

Wow: She told the PopSugar website: ‘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.’
Priyanka, who has a nine-month-old daughter Malti with her Jonas Brothers star husband Nick Jonas, 31, believes getting dressed can be a ‘version’ of ‘confidence’ and its important to find your own path.
She added: ‘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.’
On Thursday she was seen on the red carpet at the DKMS Gala, held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
The Citadel star — who was recently unfollowed by former sister-in-law Sophie Turner — dazzled in a metallic emerald gown with a sizzling thigh-high slit, and a cut-out in the midriff area giving a glimpse at her toned abs.
The spectacular ensemble featured a one-shoulder cape that fell all the way to the floor. The Indian-born beauty teamed her look with open-toe gold heels.
Nick Jonas’ wife wore her lustrous raven tresses in a straight style, cascading down her back. As for glam she accentuated her pout with a matte red lipstick and drew attention to her magnetic eyes with smokey eyeshadow.
DKMS is an international nonprofit bone marrow donor center with a mission statement of fighting cancer and other blood disorders.

At the event the mom-of-one was joined by Coty Chief Brands Officer, Stefano Curti. The businessman looked sharp in a black suit with a unique silver snake brooch pinned to his lapel.
DKMS was founded in 1991 by Peter Harf, who was looking to find a lifesaving stem cell donor for his wife, Mechtild. Sadly, she eventually lost her battle with leukemia.
Since then, Peter and his two daughters have continued to help others who are in need of stem cell transplants.
DKMS now operates in seven countries and has registered over 12 million donors worldwide.
The event was held at Cipriani Wall Street – a famed venue, featuring Greek revival architecture, known for hosting a number of important soirées.
