Heidi Klum may have hung up her Angel wings, but that doesn't mean she's finished modeling.

The ex-Victoria's Secret poser will just be wearing a bit more clothing now while doing it, is all.

E! News has the exclusive details—and picture—on Klum's newest gig.

She will soon be back as the face of Ann Taylor, taking over for current model Naomi Watts in the fashion house's upcoming ads.

"I love dressing up!" Klum tells E! News.

"If you're going to a party, why not make the most of it? This new collection is all about luxurious fabric, really great styles and fun accessories. More is more...so have some fun with it!"

Klum, who announced last month that she was quitting her 13-year gig with Victoria's Secret, isn't a newbie when it comes to Ann Taylor.

"Heidi posed for them in 2009 for the holiday campaign and it was a huge hit," an insider tells E! News. "So she'll be returning to do it again. It's good, quick work for her and she makes a good pay day, so why wouldn't she do it?"

Our source stresses the move doesn't necessarily mean Watts is finished as spokesmodel, but that Ann Taylor has completed the next round of spots with Klum.

Famed fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh shot last year's ads, where Klum looked stunning wrapped in chunky sweaters and jewels. This year British photog Rankin shot the holiday-themed ads.
