Madonna dropped as the face of LV

London: Pop superstar Madonna has been dropped as the face of luxury brand Louis Vuitton.The 51-year-old star has been replaced by British funnyman David Walliam`s 25-year-old model girlfriend Lara Stone, a news website reported.

The `Queen of Pop` was signed to appear in a string of glamorous photoshoots for the expensive brand as part of the fashion house`s 2009 advertising campaign. And despite reportedly handing over a mammoth USD 9.85 million pay cheque to Madonna, fashion bosses have decided to use a younger model to front next year`s promotional work. Lara, who has been dating the Little Britain star for several months, will take over in the New Year. PTI
