So chic: Naomi Watts poses for the Ann Taylor autumn collection


We've got used to seeing Naomi Watts racing around New York with her children, sometimes barefoot, wearing little make-up but still looking fabulous.

But just in case you'd forgotten that the 21 Grams actress can still glam up with the best of them, this stunning photo shoot was released by the New York fashion chain Ann Taylor today.

The 41-year-old actress, who has two sons Alexander, three, and Samuel Kai, 18 months, has been announced as the face of Ann Taylor's autumn collection.

The adverts feature Naomi in what Ann Taylor describes as 'timeless pieces including our iconic leopard print, perfect little black dresses, gorgeous statement jewellery and irresistible coats.'

The collection is inspired by Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, memoirs of Twenties Paris, and focuses on mixing 'European sophistication with timeless American style'.

Naomi and her partner Liev Schreiber have come under media scrutiny in the last couple of months with rumours flying that they are on the verge of breaking up.

Alexander, whom they call Sasha, and Samuel's parents never married, but Liev's spokesperson has vehemently denied that the couple's relationship is on the rocks

Liev, 42, has been starring alongside Scarlett Johansson on Broadway in Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge. He also appears in the recently released film Salt, with Angelina Jolie.

Naomi has two new films coming out this year. The Oscar-nominated actress stars in Woody Allen's You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, and in Fair Game, where she plays Valerie Plame, the CIA agent whose cover was revealed by White House officials.
