Anne Hathaway has welcomed in the the New Year by sharing a picture of herself pregnant in a bikini on Instagram -- but there's a twist.
Hathaway, whose pregnancy was revealed in November, posted the photo along with a lengthy caption explaining that she was taking back control from paparazzi who were photographing her on the beach.
"Just now while I was at the beach I noticed I was being photographed," she wrote. "I figure if this kind of photo is going to be out in the world it should at least be an image that makes me happy."
Happy 2016 to my beautiful Instafriends! So, posting a bikini pic is a little out of character for me, but just now while I was at the beach I noticed I was being photographed. I figure if this kind of photo is going to be out in the world it should at least be an image that makes me happy (and be one that was taken with my consent. And with a filter :) Wishing you love, light and blessings for the year ahead! Annie A photo posted by Anne Hathaway (@annehathaway) on Jan 3, 2016 at 9:31pm PST
