Gemma Ward is ready for a return to the limelight - and she’s doing it in the classiest way possible.
On Thursday, the 28-year-old Australian model announced she will be the new brand representative for luxury car brand, Jaguar.
Speaking to news.com.au the mother-of-one said: ‘I’m delighted to be named as an ambassador for what is still such an iconic English brand.’

‘I have been very fortunate to work with luxury brands from my early modelling days so I am incredibly aware of quality and the time and effort taken into producing things that are seen as luxurious.'
Gemma also took to social media to mention the partnership, sharing a photo of herself dressed in a tight-fitting black dress, leaning against a red Jaguar.
She added hashtags in the caption spelling ‘couldn’t be happier’ and ‘just in time for Christmas’.

Gemma was once the most in-demand Australian model in the world, but in 2009, she declared she was retiring.
The Perth-born star told The Daily Telegraph in 2011 that her move out of the public eye had been spurred by the death of her lover at the time, Heath Ledger.
And while she’s since dabbled in acting, the model, who in 2007 was named one of the top ten highest earning, now seems to be in no rush to kickstart her career.

She lives in the sleepy town of Byron Bay together with her partner David Letts and their two-year-old daughter Naia.
Both are frequent features on Gemma’s social media feed.
Last week she shared a snap of herself with the toddler in the arms, gushing in the caption: 'Happy birthday my darling girl- you're 2!! And so special to me.'
'I wish you all the happiness in the world,' she added.
