Available at Carters.com and in select Carter’s stores, the adorable collection features baby apparel and accessories, including cozy sets, lightweight dresses, swimwear, linen tops and rompers in ultra-soft thermal, textured gauze, breezy linen and lightweight fabrics that are perfect for transitioning from winter to spring.

The collection, designed in a gender-neutral color palette, is priced from $10 to $22 and available in sizes ranging from 0 to 24M. There are also clothing bundles featured in the collection that are priced from around $34 and up.

“I love dressing my kids up, but I know firsthand that practical, comfortable and easy-to-change clothing is a must,” Duff said in a press release. “I’m beyond excited to introduce my newest Carter’s collection. It really feels like springtime with lightweight fabrics like woven gauze and designs like the signature print with little suns, rainbows and arrows. I know parents are going to love the versatility and babies are going to look so stylishly adorable.”

Duff added, “It’s an amazing experience to be working with Carter’s to not only leave my stamp on these capsules but also to share my insight and advice with other parents navigating their own journeys.”

Duff’s eye for style seems to be resonating well with Carter’s customers. Pieces from her last capsule collection sold out in just 72 hours, noted Kendra Krugman, executive vice president of merchandising & design at Carter’s.

“It’s rewarding to bring another collection to life that is inspired by Hilary’s experience as a mom and her eye for style, paired with Carter’s trusted quality, convenience, and value,” said Krugman. “It continues to be a pleasure working with Hilary as our ‘CMO’ to deliver unique clothing and helpful solutions to our Carter’s families and communities.” 

Duff signed on as the first-ever chief mom officer of Carter’s last year. Her position includes working directly with Carter’s as a parenting consultant and creative director designing two limited-edition capsule collections for babies, and a few goodies for moms to enjoy.

The 35-year-old actress put her personal touch on the exclusive collections of baby apparel and accessories. Additionally, Duff’s role includes curating shopping guides that feature tips and tricks for moms along with sharing other parenting content.

“While every mom is a chief mom officer in her own way, I’m honored that Carter’s chose me to represent the brand and be the ultimate champion for mom’s everywhere,” Duff said last year after announcing the partnership. “I was inspired by Carter’s mission and their commitment to inspire parents and future generations. Motherhood is not easy but it’s incredibly rewarding and through my partnership with Carter’s, I hope to be a source of light and inspiration for others as we navigate our individual parenting journeys.”

“At Carter’s, we understand what it means to be a parent, better than any other brand, and nobody embodies this spirit more than Hilary Duff. Not only is Hilary talented but she’s also incredibly relatable as a mom of three who openly shares her parenting journey with her community,” Jeff Jenkins, executive vice president of global marketing for Carter’s said at the time. “The appointment of Hilary as Carter’s chief mom officer was a no-brainer — there’s no one I’d rather share the ‘CMO’ title with – and we warmly welcome her to the Carter’s family. We know Hilary will bring long-lasting value to Carter’s and our customers as she makes her mark on the brand.”

Duff has a 10-year-old son, Luca, whom she shares with her ex-husband and former hockey player, Mike Comrie. She also has two daughters, 4-year-old Banks and 1-year-old Mae, with her husband, musician Matthew Koma.

A new season of How I Met Your Father is now streaming on Hulu.

Season 2 of the comedy series starring Hilary Duff premiered Tuesday (Jan. 24) on Hulu. The sequel to How I Met Your Mother flips the narrative of its predecessor by focusing on a woman telling her son the story of how she met his father.

Duff stars as Sophie, a hopeless romantic navigating love and friendship in present-day New York City. Chris Lowell, Francia Raisa, Tom Ainsley, Suraj Sharma and Tien Tran play Sophie’s close-knit group of friends.

Kim Cattrall portrays the future version of Sophie who shares the story with her son in the year 2050.

“We know these characters, we feel a little bit more comfortable,” Duff told reporters at this year’s Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour, per ABC News. “We just get more room to play and experience and find these little human bits in the roles. It feels easier to find and a little more secure this time around.”

Unlike the original — where Bob Saget simply narrated but never made an appearance — audiences get to see and hear Cattrall in How I Met Your Father. The series pilot opens with Cattrall calling her son on video chat and sharing the dating stories that led up to her meeting his dad.

“It’s a sequel, so there’s some Easter eggs for the hardcore fans but it’s a new show with new characters that are going on their own adventure,” Duff told Good Morning America last year. “It’s tackling the topics of what it’s like to figure out your life at 30 [and] navigate the world of dating where everything is online.”

How I Met Your Father is streaming exclusively on Hulu, but if you’re not subscribed, you can join today, and watch the series and any other content on the platform for free (for the first month). New episodes premiere weekly.

“Because of my career path, I can’t help but be like, ‘I am on camera and actresses are skinny,’” the How I Met Your Father actress shared, adding that she battled a “horrifying” year-long eating disorder when she was 17.

However, her perspective is different now. “[I’m] appreciating my health, doing activities that make me feel strong instead of just bettering the outside of my body,” the 35-year-old admitted. “Spending time with people that make me feel good and share similar views on health and body positivity and getting enough sleep and balance in my diet.”

Leeder also added his own perspective of Duff through working with her. “I don’t feel like she’ll mind me saying this: yes, her fitness and health are hugely important to Hilary,” he said of his celebrity client. “What’s more important to her is her family and work. When she comes home from work, she wants to spend time with her family because she spends very little time with them when she’s hard at work, so every moment counts.”
