The 44-year-old supermodel has been hired by the 63-year-old US clothing company as it undergoes a re-branding.

The mother-of-one was photographed last week by top snappers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for a glossy advertising campaign which will be launched in September.

Talbots chief marketing officer Lori Wagner said: “She possesses this timeless yet spontaneous glamour that’s irresistible in our minds.”

Linda – who fronted last year’s Prada Fall campaign and is the current face of L’Oreal Paris cosmetics – recently admitted she puts her make-up on 10 minutes.

The beauty has learned so many tricks during her 30-year career she only takes a few moments to perfect her appearance.

She said: “I did my own make-up this morning and it takes 10 minutes, tops! My best trick is to do it in natural light. I keep all my make-up on a huge mirrored tray and I just take it to whatever window is looking good that day.”
