Bryce Dallas Howard First Celebrity Face Of Kate Spade (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 01/03/2011 11:22 am   Updated: 05/25/2011 6:20 pm

Actress Bryce Dallas Howard will be the first celebrity to ever star in a Kate Spade ad campaign, piling on the purses for Spring 2011, WWD reports. Bryce told the fashion newspaper:

"The Kate Spade offer came up and I kind of lost my mind. There's something about that brand that, from a young age, I really, really, really connected with. It was always the thing I wanted for Christmas...since I was 15 or 16," said Howard. "It represents a lifestyle that I always really loved....It's my first experience [in an ad campaign]. But I wouldn't have been good otherwise....It just would have been obvious if I weren't into the brand."

President and chief creative officer of Kate Spade added, "We loved her, and that she grew up with the brand....She's not just a pretty face. She's a multitalented woman, which represented the brand very well."

Howard, 29, is best known for her roles in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" and "Spider-Man 3," and for being the daughter of director Ron Howard. Check out her ad below and a few of her more recent red carpet moments, and tell us what you think of Kate Spade's choice.

She's beautiful but a really crappy actress. I guess it helps when your daddy is Ron Howard.

Im kinda sick and tired of celebrities being involved in fashion. Thats what MODELS are for. If I see Sienna Miller, Cameron Diaz or Jen Anniston on a cover of a fashion magazine, Im gonna scream.

Look at French, Italian and Turkish Vogue...très magnifique!

I wonder if the campaign is shot in battery park with the bags laid out on a black tarp?

I associate Kate Spade with her purses. They look good but are way overpriced and rather flimsy.

Beautiful woman, but she shouldn't have been cast as Victoria.

Wow - she's gorgeous in that yellow gown.  She is an excellent choice!

Sure she is, but the clothes, the jewelry, the handbags...they speak for themselves.

I love me some redheads, there is just something about a person who has been touched by the devil's hand....

Bryce is gorgeous and wears clothes well. That hair is amazing, let's hope she didn't inherit Opie's hairline as well as color. Gonna be some pretty ads!
