David Fisher/Rex USA
She donned restrictive undergarments for her role as a single mother in the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce and showed off her flawless skin as a spokeswoman for Lancôme. Now, Kate Winslet is joining the ranks of A-list stars as the new face of luxury American knitwear company St. John. The actress has signed on to star in the company’s fall 2011 campaign, following in the footsteps of former spokesmodels Gisele Bündchen, Angelina Jolie and Kelly Gray, and the most recent face, Karen Elson. “Kate is an ideal choice for our new campaign,” creative director George Sharp said in a statement. “She is an accomplished, beautiful woman with an extraordinary body of work, and one of the most admired actors of her generation.” The campaign images, which were shot at the historic Loew’s Theater in New Jersey this week by photographer Craig McDean, will debut in magazines this September.
