In her latest interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Hathaway revealed that confidence isn’t always consistent. “Some days you look in the mirror, and you’re just like, ‘Not bad,'” she said. “And some days you look in the mirror, and you’re like, ‘What?’ And I was having a ‘What?’ day.”

Hathaway went on to share a relatable moment that forced her to confront those feelings head-on. “And you know how you have your aspirational swimsuit that you keep around, just in case you have a good day?” she asked. “And then you have your swimsuit that’s got you no matter what? I accidentally packed the aspirational swimsuit.”

She continued, “Which I then had to wear on a ‘What?’ day. So, I’m ready to have this great day with my family. And I am going to be in front of strangers, and people have phones. And all of the things.”

She added, “When I was expecting to see something that I am not, I felt insecure. But when I actually looked at what it actually is, I was okay with it.”

The “Princess Diaries” actress added, “I think you realize that worry should be reserved for the really big stuff.”

And with a filter.”
