Angelina Jolie will be having a little less face time in magazines and billboards, now that the actress has been dropped as the face of fashion label St. John.

According to St. John’s chief executive officer Glenn McMahon, the actress’ own celebrity was too much for the label.

“[Jolie] overshadowed the brand,” McMahon told Women’s Wear Daily. “We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.”

St. John has selected redhead model Karen Elson to be the face of the fashion house.

“We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John,” McMahon added. “We have evolved.”

She might not be working for St. John anymore, but Angelina will stay busy in 2010 with the release of her next movie, “Salt,” which hits theaters in July.
