'No shame' Anne Hathaway shared an empowering message on Monday as she took to Instagram to encourage followers to 'love what you have been given' while making herself cut-off shorts

Pretty as a petal! Though she looked stunning at the premiere for her film Alice Through The Looking Glass just two months after welcoming son Jonathan Rosebanks, Anne wrote about loving your body no matter how long it takes to lose the weight - 'if you want to lose it at all'

'There is no shame in gaining weight during pregnancy (or ever),' Anne wrote, alongside the jeans, which had been cut into Bermuda-style shorts.

'There is no shame if it takes longer than you think it will to lose the weight (if you want to lose it at all).'

She continued: 'There is no shame in finally breaking down and making your own jean shorts because last summer's are just too dang short for this summer's thighs.'

'Bodies change. Bodies grow. Bodies shrink. It's all love (don't let anyone tell you otherwise.) Peace xx,' she finished, concluding with the hashtag: '#noshame.'

The Oscar winner had welcomed son Jonathan Rosebanks Shulman, with husband Adam, in March.

She and the actor/jewelry designer tied the knot back in September of 2012 in Big Sur on the California coast.

Meanwhile, the star recently celebrated the 15th anniversary of beloved Disney film The Princess Diaries, taking to Instagram to share a gif along with an excited message.

'It's been 15 years (say it with me) SHUT UP!!!!! To all the fans who have loved Mia, Louie, Lily, Joe, Michael and, of course, Queen Clarisse, thank you from the bottom of my heart!' she gushed on Instagram last week.

And Anne added a special message to the late director of the film - who passed away last month - writing: 'And to Garry Marshall, thank you for making me a princess. I love you always my beloved friend and teacher, and I miss you every day xx.'

A time to celebrate! Last week Anne took to Instagram to commemorate the 15th anniversary of popular Disney film The Princess Diaries (which also starred Hector Elizondo, pictured, and Julie Andrews)

In The Princess Diaries, Anne had starred as awkward teen Mia Thermopolis, who - on her 16th birthday - finds out that she is the heir apparent to the throne of Genovia.

The 2001 film - based on Meg Cabot's novel - also starred Julie Andrews, Hector Elizondo, Larry Miller, and Sandra Oh.
