Shot by contemporary artist Todd Hido, who is known for "muted colour pallet and moody landscape photography". The images show Hutton wearing designer Tomas Maier's latest designs for the luxe Italian label. Hutton's got her signature no-makeup makeup look and tousled waves — it's been her go-to look for decades, whether she's fronting campaigns for accessible labels like J.Crew and H&M or high-fashion lines such as Alexis Bittar and Tom Ford. One thing that's not on display? Her trademark tooth gap, though her bold red-and-pink ensemble is certainly eye-catching. Shot alongside Joan Smalls, male models Morten Nielsen (top) and Hannes Gobeyn plus model-of-the-moment Vittoria Ceretti also appears in the video campaign, below.

The campaign comes after Hutton made an appearance on the Bottega Veneta runway back in September. During Milan Fashion Week, Hutton came out of runway retirement (the last time she made an appearance on the catwalk was in 2011) and walked alongside Gigi Hadid in the brand's 50th anniversary show; it was a spoke about as one of the best fashion moments captured on the runway in 2016.
