Why Kate Hudson Is About to Become Queen of the LBD

As the face of Ann Taylor, Kate Hudson's brought her enviable Hollywood genetics to the label's campaigns. Now, she's bringing a bit more of her personality, imparting her own fashion sense on a capsule collection for the retailer. In celebration of the iconic LBD, Hudson drew on her own lifestyle to craft a lineup of five limited-edition black dresses set to debut in April.

But we already got our sneak peek of the gorgeous actress playing dress-up in two of the LBDs. The verdict? Kate knows her way around a sexy black dress — or five. In fact, if you take a look back (and we did!), you'll notice Kate has a pretty glamorous history with black dresses. Check out the new campaign shots, then relive five of her other best LBD moments.
