The megastar has been replaced as the face of the high-end label, in favour of Brit model Karen Elson
Angelina Jolie has been replaced as the face of St John, by Brit model Karen Elson - because she ‘overshadowed the brand'.
The megastar has fronted ad campaigns for the high-end designer brand for the past three years - but bosses feared that her level of fame overpowered the name of the label.
‘We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette,' says St John's Chief Executive Glenn McMahon.
‘It was a great run we had. Three years is a long time to maintain any campaign, and we felt it was time to do something new and different.'
Enter red-head model Karen Elson - wife of White Stripes singer Jack White - who has previously modelled for Chanel, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Dior.
The new campaign featuring the 30-year-old will launch in February, so keep your eyes peeled!
