Despite the recent triple homicide that took the lives of Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew, the actress and singer gave the company the green light to use her holiday ads.
Olive Doyne, Hudson’s rep, confirmed that Gap offered to scrap the ads, but the star refused the offer, saying that she wants to continue with her life despite the recent tragedy.
The photographs of Hudson were taken by Michael Thompson in New York last July. Other stars featured in this year’s campaign include Jason Bateman, Mary-Louise Parker and Mila Kunis.
