UN Ambassador and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie has signed with top fashion house Emporio Armani to become the face of their new Armani perfume.

The advertising campaign is said to kick off later this year in 2009. Jolie recently was listed as celebrity # 1 by Forbes Magazine, which could only have helped Armani wade through the candidates' list.

“For this fragrance, they needed a true A-lister, and Angelina is the biggest, most dynamic female star in the world,” said a source.

Jolie will have a creative oversight over the print and TV ad campaign as part of the deal.

Armani has previously announced that the model Kasia Smutniak would be the new face of its fragrance future "Idol", we do not know yet if Angelina will be the icon of the fragrance taking the place of the young model or a another fragrance which announced a year rich in Armani.
