Miu Miu model Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes is set to star in Miu Miu's new advertising campaign.

The 29-year-old actress - who has a two-year-old daughter Suri with husband Tom Cruise - will follow in the footsteps of Drew Barrymore, Kirsten Dunst and Lindsay Lohan by appearing in the adverts.

An insider said: "Katie is soon going to start shooting the photographs for the spring 2009 campaign. She will be posing alongside real models, who will be positioned as 'accessories' in the campaign. It's quite edgy and very different for Katie."

The 'Batman Begins' star will be replacing Johnny Depp's partner Vanessa Paradis who is the current face of the fashion company.

Katie is no stranger to the fashion industry, and has worn a series of outfits she has designed herself to recent events.

Following Katie's appearance at the 'Tropic Thunder' premiere earlier this year, where she wore a glamorous midnight blue dress complete with leather pleated bodice which she designed herself, reports emerged that she was planning to launch her own clothing line.
