It’s splitsville for Demi Moore and … Ann Taylor.

After casting the age-defying actress in the Fall and Holiday 2011 ads, the retailer is continuing its practice of refreshing its celebrity roster by tapping Kate Hudson as the face of its Spring 2012 ad campaign.

Photographed by Tom Munro at an estate in Pasadena, California, the blonde beauty looks as gorgeous as ever after taking some time off to have her second son, Bingham.

The airy ads see the Chrome Hearts collaborator jazzing up a cream Modern Lace Sheath Dress with a skinny pink neon belt, while a citron yellow lace shift, cobalt blue blouse, and plum trousers paired with a white fringed top provide exuberant shots of color.

“I am thrilled to collaborate with Ann Taylor this Spring,” the engaged star says in a press statement.

“I love fashion, and their new Spring collection is so stylish and hip and colorful! As a young girl I looked up to the sophisticated style of Ann Taylor so it’s been very cool to see how the brand has evolved to meet the changing needs of modern women. The new Ann Taylor is not afraid to be sexy and real–because they design for every generation. The clothes are stylish and comfortable, easy and wearable. They really help you look and feel perfectly put together for any occasion.”

Kate Hudson “calls it a day” when she’s spent five minutes on her make-up.

The actress is famed for her subtle make-up look and always lets her natural beauty shine through. Kate says her daytime beauty regime is no-fuss, but likes to refresh it before heading out on an evening.

“I usually keep it simple: for easy, five minute make-up, I use eyeliner, blush, mascara and call it a day,” she told Stylelist. “If I’m going out, maybe I’ll touch up a little bit.”

Kate has two children, sons Ryder and Bingham. The 32-year-old says her beauty regime “didn’t really change” when she was pregnant.

“I’m not fussy, my face just got a little fuller,” she revealed.

“As far as products, I’m a big advocate of natural. Ren Skincare is great.”

Kate relies on a couple of beauty staples to keep her looking red carpet ready. The stunning always keeps lip gloss and concealer in her bag.

The blonde star also revealed her beauty icons.

“Anita Pallenberg and Julie Christie,” she said.
