Forget national treasures because American actor Anne Hathaway is an international Princess of the people, serving not only iconic movie characters but IRL beauty looks for days. And today, she's baring all with an au naturel, makeup-free selfie that's giving us major complexion envy...
Late last night, Anne took to her Instagram feed to share said selfie which she simply captioned: "✨all gratitude✨". In the snap, the mum-of-two is shown to be basking in the sunshine wearing nothing but a smile on her face and what we're hoping to be skincare and sun protection. And I mean, we have little doubt in our minds in regard to the latter seeing as she hasn't aged a day since 2006. (In other words, wear your sunscreen, kids!)
Truly, she is just stunning.
Unsurprisingly, the picture has amassed over 800,000 likes (and counting) with comments from her 30.9 million followers flooding in. Read a select few of our faves below that in all honestly, just speak for themselves:
"mother is mothering"
"QUEEN ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
"Dare I say...mother"
"Our princess of Genovia ❤️"
"Took my breath away for a sec🤭🫶"
"Gorgeous queen!!!🫶💃"
"Looking so peaceful!🙌"
"glowing!"
Dare I say more?
I think we can all agree when I say (read: beg) that all we need now is for Anne to share her fully-fledged skincare routine in order for us all to be able to channel our inner radiance outward—hint, hint, Ms Hathaway.
