Kate Hudson Models for Ann Taylor Fall 2013 Campaign—See the Pics!

Actress fronts for new fashion collection featuring lace, peplum and patterned pants

Leave it to Kate Hudson to convince us that maybe summer coming to an end isn't such a terrible notion, after all!

One glance at the star's gorgeous new fall campaign images for Ann Taylor, and we're suddenly wistful for chillier temps, where we can take full advantage of the polished ensembles she models with perfection. 

The 34-year-old stunner flaunts her flawless figure in a number of ladylike ensembles that are sophisticated and subtly sexy for the career woman on the go.

From peplum silhouettes to lace blouses and patterned brocade pants, the autumn collection from the mall mainstay looks impressively luxe and fashion-forward.

 

We also can't help but marvel at her beautiful sun-kissed blond locks, fresh-faced complexion and pretty pout.

She rocks a rich berry lipstick shade in a few of the photos that look simply divine!

 

As much as we love her beachy bohemian street style when she's off duty, we have to say Kate looks great when she's all dolled up, too!

We're thinking Ann Taylor hit a home run when it came to casting their cover girl.

Best of all, Hudson poses with her adorable nephews, brother Oliver Hudson's sons, in a few of the shots, to illustrate just how satisfying is it be a working mother with incredible style!

As a muti-tasking mom herself, Kate opens up about how much she learned from her role model mother and actress, Goldie Hawn.

"What I learned from my mom is to not be afraid of expression—of expressing where you've been, who you've been, what you've learned, where you're going…and really, really being true to yourself," she said.

 

"This campaign definitely feels like me. It's a little bit about how I live. The 24/7 lives we all lead. You're trying to juggle it all and look fabulous and be there for your family and get out the door to your job. I mean this is the wild, wonderful life women live today! I love it. I just love what Ann Taylor is doing this season. It's chic and it's real," the star said of the campaign imagery.

Kate, you make it look easy!
