I'm new to the forum, so thanks for having me. My question is about a matter that has caused some tension between me (29) and my wife (26).

Yeah, your overreaction is a bit volatile/hysterical, particularly if you are new to the forum as a twenty-something in order to post this question. If you were to think about it more reasonably, what’s actually the problem?
In other words, keep it in perspective; don’t fret over an accident. It’s not as if she went topless at Montalivet or Filaki Beach without you.
We don't know that she was really embarrassed, though. A lot of people who grew up doing sports or theater or dance are used to changing in dressing rooms and locker rooms, and having other people get a glimpse of them in a bra is no big whoop. (With the caveat that we know nothing about the OP's wife and her background)
I know. I didn't say she was embarrassed, but the OP kind of comes across like he thinks she should have been, if she were a decent person, or his idea of a "good girl". I was saying, it would have been worse if she'd reacted in some way. Whether she was secretly embarrassed or not, she handled it well. Maybe she wasn't embarrassed at all, and that's why it was easy for her to go with the flow. (Your point, I think.)
In any case, the OP needs to relax. Seems like he's the one who was embarrassed, or miffed that other guys got to see a photo of his wife like that.

Embarrassment is a useless and negative emotion. And it's especially silly to be embarrassed on somebody else's behalf. It's best to eliminate the feeling if you can.
Nothing less than an eye for an eye outcome would do. Demand all the other wives present send you pictures of themselves in underwear.
What about the men? Where's the equality?
