Heidi Klum will be the face of Ann Taylor's Christmas advertising. The German supermodel will show the brand's party dresses, gifts and day-to-evening separates in the advertising for the festive season, which was shot by British photographer Rankin and admits the collection is a "fun" one.

"I love dressing up! If you're going to a party, why not make the most of it? This new collection is all about luxurious fabric, really great styles and fun accessories. More is more, so have some fun with it."

The European beauty - who raises four children with her husband, British singer Seal - has previously shot a campaign for Ann Taylor's festive range, and replaces Naomi Watts as the face of the brand.
