Anne Hathaway is in the league of celebrities who never seem to age. But what could be the secret behind her forever young appearance?
The answer is actually simple. Hathaway is known to take her sun protection very seriousl. She’s almost always seen with an umbrella in hand, and when asked about the secret to her youthful visage, she’s spoken about her religious application of sunscreen.
Just recently, she’s been spotted on multiple occasions wearing a full-body swimsuit — much like a burkini.
Originally designed by Australian-Lebanese designer, Aheda Zanetti, to give modest women a way to swim freely while staying covered, it has often been the subject of unfair politicisation, making it a controversial article of clothing, and, thus, totally shifting the conversation away from how beneficial the swimwear actually is when it comes to being protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
With built-in coverage from neck to ankle, the burkini offers an added layer of protection (after sunscreen) from harsh UV rays, reducing sunburn risk and long-term skin damage. Plus, there’s no need to reapply suncreen between dips!
Then there’s the comfort factor. Whether you’re diving into the ocean or lounging by the pool, the burkini stay in place. No constant readjusting, no wardrobe malfunctions, and no distraction from the actual joys of swimming and sunbathing. The lightweight, breathable fabrics used in modern burkinis are quick-drying and stretch-friendly, designed for movement and not restriction.
As Anne Hathaway’s beach look shows, modest coastal wear isn’t a statement of restriction, it’s simply thoughtful design with real-life functionality. It allows you to enjoy the water, the sun, and the moment without compromising comfort or confidence. And really, isn’t that what good swimwear should do?
