Kate Moss has been dropped by Agent Provocateur for the second time. The 34-year-old model has reportedly lost her ?500,000 deal with the sexy underwear brand to Alice Dellal, an unknown blonde socialite 14 years her junior. A source said: “Everyone is stunned. Kate’s shots were really well received, but bosses thought it was time to move on. They want a fresh new face and think they’ve found just the candidate in Alice.”
Half-Brazilian Alice – who wears a nose ring – posed for a secret photo shoot to be released in September. Kate’s contract with the firm was not renewed last year amid rumours of tension between her and owner Serena Rees – but she returned for a bridal lingerie campaign this year.
This is not the first fashion snub for the British catwalk queen. Naomi Campbell took her place for Yves Saint Laurent, while hot new model Agyness Deyn replaced her at Burberry.

THIS time last year a beleaguered Alice Burdeu was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Then, the lithe-framed teenager was attacked across the nation for being too thin to be crowned Australia’s Next Top Model.
Her dad defended her, telling Confidential his daughter stuffed herself with sausages.
Fast forward to the July issue of Vogue Australia, and it seems Burdeu has sent her critics packing and is stuffing her suitcases for working trips to Paris instead.
Nice work if you can get it.
Her transformation stunned the international fashion world, just not Vogue Australia’s editor Kirstie Clements who has gifted the Aussie gal her second cover.
“She’s a different model now to the one who won Australia’s Next Top Model.
“She’s been validated as one of the top emerging models on the world scene and has a whole new sense of sophistication,” Clements said.
Oui oui agree.
