Lindsay Lohan said wearing low-rise pants in "Freaky Friday" made her feel "so-self conscious" about her body.

Breaking down her most iconic looks to date in a recent interview with Allure, Lohan recalled how low-cut pants were all the rage in 2003, when she starred in Disney's "Freaky Friday" alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray.

At the time, Lohan was about 16 years old and said she was keen to sport the low-rise look in the film because she "wanted to be cool."

"At that age, you still want to play someone who's a little bit sexy," she said. However, when she actually wore the pants, Lohan said she felt self-conscious about the way her body looked.

"I was always nervous about what my stomach looked like, if it was flat enough, like that was my big thing on set," Lohan added. "I look back and I'm like 'Why was I so hard on myself?'"

During the interview, the actor, who is pregnant with her and her husband Bader Shammas' first child, also said she sought inspiration for her hair at the time from a certain Canadian pop star.

"Avril Lavigne was like everything," she said. Being the fan-girl she was, Lohan said for "Freaky Friday" she asked celebrity hairstylist Tracey Cunningham to put white stripes in her naturally red hair.

"I think it was probably traumatizing for Tracey Cunningham to have to do," she said with a laugh. "Getting it back to normal was pretty tough, it just didn't feel the same right after."

But Lohan said that her hair did end up suiting her "Freaky Friday" character's aesthetic.

"It looked great for the character because I wanted her more punk," she said.

Lohan has previously opened up about how she's grown to love her natural looks. In an Instagram video titled "Conversations with Little Me," which included a series of photographs from her childhood, she shared that she now loves her red hair as well as her freckles.

"They used to make me uncomfortable as a kid but now I realize how beautiful they are," Lohan wrote.
