She carried herself straight and with assurance.

I already look the word in other dictionaries, but can't still make sense of the sentence, esp 'carried herself'. Please rephrase "She carried herself straight and with assurance."*I've already looked up the word....

A nervous or scared person usually does not walk straight (upright) but usually seem to be curling themselves up in a ball, even as they walk.
