It's hard to imagine Vanessa Hudgens as anything less than confident. She's a beautiful woman, after all, not to mention incredibly talented. But, like so many of us, the actress has struggled with her body image. The 5'3" beauty told Women's Health that she often felt insecure growing up because of her height. "Because I'm very petite, I've always felt that women who are taller are smarter and more powerful," she said.
Hudgens eventually grew more confident, though, saying that she learned how to "take up space without height" and began to draw strength from her achievements and her voice. The actress also boosts her self-esteem through her wardrobe, which includes a variety of powerful pantsuits.
Hudgens told People that she has struggled with her stomach "pooch," but she also embraces her body, saying that she appreciates it "for simply just doing what it does." Hudgens added that she is grateful to be healthy and that this has "helped me love my body a little more."
