Proving that she’s doing things on her own terms, Hathaway captioned the picture: ‘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 one that was taken with my consent. And with a filter:)'.

The photograph has since racked up nearly 300,000 likes proving that she has most definitely triumphed.
