Timeless beauty: Agent Provocateur co-founder Serena Rees wanted Catherine for the campaign because of her incredible presence
She told The Sunday Times: "We have customers aged from 16 to 81. Last time we used Maggie Gyllenhaal, who had just had a baby.
"This time I wanted to use a woman who was over 40. Don't they say we have our best sex when we hit 40?"
Catherine returned to modelling at the age of 41 but despite her still stunning figure admits, that like all women, she still has her insecurities: "I'm still self-critical. Aren't all women?
"Anxieties change as you get older. At 15, it's spots; at 20, it's fat thighs, I was much plumper when I was younger. Now, it's wrinkles. I love retouching...".
Catherine revealed husband David, who she met on a shoot for Avon, thought the shots were "great".
