Katy Perry to front X'mas clothing campaign

Katy Perry is set to star in a Christmas advertising campaign for clothing giant H&M.

The Roar hitmaker is following in the footsteps of Lady GaGa, Beyonce, and Gisele Bundchen to become the face of the brand and star in a global TV and print campaign which will launch in November.

She says, "H&M was one of the places where I first began cultivating my personal style... I have continued to love integrating H&M pieces into my wardrobe throughout the years. One of the reasons I love the holidays is being able to dress cosy and cute, which H&M executes so well for every budget. I can't wait for you to see the world we created with (director) Jonas Åkerlund and Dan Jackson."

Perry also announced the news on Instagram.com, sharing a picture of her in a winter jumper, adding, "let's take a petite (small) pause on the beauteous summer we are experiencing & open our calendars tooooo...THE HOLIDAYS I am excited to announce that I will be starring in @hm's #HappyandMerry Holiday Campaign launching later this year!!! Stay tuned for the whole unwrapping!"

Perry is also the face of designer brand Moschino.
