There is something incredibly sophisticated about the Ann Taylor SS11 campaign. I think it has very much to do with not only the [tailored suit Katie Holmes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-studded) is rocking, but also with the star's regal presence.

Yet the Ann Taylor SS11 campaign also has a sultry element that owes fully to the smoldering stare Holmes gives to the camera. As a long-time fan of the fashion label, she says, "I applaud women who are doing their best to be the [best versions of themselves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-lovely-to-be-a-woman) and who are working really hard."
