Gorgeous redhead Karen Elson is the new face of St.John. The model has replaced Angelina Jolie on the position and seems to be reviving interest to the brand.
Karen looks chic and glamorous wearing perfect outfits. Most of the garments come in black color which plays a great contrast with her extremely white skin and red hair.
I love the black gown with a low neck. It looks fabulous!
Angelina Jolie does not represent St. John brand any more because her image is too strong for them.
The actress, who is considered one of the world’s most beautiful women, was dropped as the face of the brand and replaced by Karen Elson. It was said Jolie ‘overshadowed’ the brand.
The label’s chief executive officer Glenn McMahon told WWD:
Angelina overshadowed the brand. We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.”
No more blondes or actresses but red-heads and models – welcome! Red-headed model Karen Elson was invited to represent the Spring/Summer 2010 range.
McMahon explained:
We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John. We have evolved.”
And Karen was named the “epitome” of St. John.
He said:
Karen is the epitome of the modern day woman…the St. John woman… strong, confident, sensual and approachable with effortless glamour.”
The year is almost over and it’s time to name the most stylish and fashionable. Vogue.com took this serious responsibility and compiled a list of those who were considered well-dressed at glam events we all like so much.
Alexa Chung was chosen as best-dressed woman of 2009. Congratulations!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have created a jewellery line for upmarket jeweller Asprey. The collection, named The Protector, includes baby gifts such as egg cups and silver spoons, and lots of beautiful rings, bracelets and earrings.

The collection will be available from Asprey stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Dubai later this week. Prices will start from $525 for a spoon.

Joan Collins says most modern stars look bad, even “sloppy”.
The 76-year-old actress, who has always been known for her perfect sense of style and appearance feel really frustrated about the fact young actresses and other celebrities do not care much of how they look in public and can choose to wear too casual styles in everyday life.
Sadly, I’m hardly pressed to come up with a list of current stylish movie stars when they’re not red-carpet ready. That is usually an illusion soon shattered by candid pictures of the red-carpet star looking awful the next day, coping with airport paparazzi or a fractious infant. Perhaps those beauties of the golden age of Hollywood were so totally protected and cosseted by the studio system that they never had to contend with the prying eyes of the constant paparazzi and the continual invasion of their privacy.”
She commented:
Of course, styles have changed radically. No one wants to look like Pola Negri or Gloria Swanson ant more. Their overly make-up, overdone clothes and hair may have been what our grandmothers or great-grandmothers admired, but today they would be simply laughable.”
However, the Hollywood actress believes the situation can change if women try to look better. But according to Joan there are still beauties who make the most of their looks.
The list of those includes big names, like Dita Von Teese, Nicole Kidman and some others.
She said:
There are many exceptions. Dita Von Teese looks incredible with her black hair, her hourglass figure and red lips, as do the beauteous Beyonce Knowles and the stunning Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie.

Every designer who was sending pieces was trying to send their best stuff.”
The film (‘Salt’) – in which Angelina plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy – is set for release next year.
Angelina doesn’t feel much frustrated as she has recently revealed she doesn’t pay too much attention to her clothes. The actress says she is happy with any garments if they are comfortable to wear.
She said:
I don’t think too much about what to wear on the red carpet. I usually have three basic colors and I get the same shapes in different colors!
But I like to get dressed up and feel like a lady every once in a while.”

UK Harper’s Bazaar July 2009 shows us beautiful Uma Thurman, but US Harper’s Bazaar July 2009 makes a more interesting issue with the most popular, the most beautiful and the most powerful woman in showbiz, Angelina Jolie.

Wolf declares that for the first time in modern culture, Jolie
brings together almost every aspect of female empowerment and liberation,”
Above all, feminist author says Angelina Jolie has proved that women can be viewed as a symbol of goodness, and also be seen as sexual.
In 2002 after adopting her first son Maddox, Jolie became a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees,
she seemed more mature, more beautiful, and more serious,” says Wolf.
At that time,
Jolie revealed a new, and fairly radical, vision of single motherhood…” Wolf says.
So what’s next for Jolie?
No way to tell,” Wolf says, “but I am certain, given the knack she has shown for tapping into this female collective unconscious, that we will watch with more than ordinary interest.”
