Helena Christensen is reminding fans why she became one of fashion’s most iconic faces throughout the 1990s. Days after turning heads at the Cannes Film Festival, the 57-year-old supermodel was photographed relaxing in France in a flattering black swimsuit that accentuated her still gorgeous figure.
Christensen was photographed looking casual yet incredible as she soaked up the sunshine at the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc, a celebrity favorite resort located on the French Riviera.

Before her beachside getaway, Christensen had already generated buzz at Cannes with her jaw-dropping ensemble. She walked the red carpet while wearing a dramatic black Roberto Cavalli look that pushed the festival’s newly tightened dress code.
Christensen shared the jaw-dropping look via her Instagram page, and flooded the comment section praising the supermodel’s timeless beauty. The sheer black lace and silk floor-length gown was backless and showed hints of Christensen’s midriff and legs.

Fellow supermodel Linda Evangelista left a string of star emojis to show her love for Christensen’s red carpet look, while Julianne Moore commented with a trio of red heart emojis. Padma Lakshmi wrote simply, “Gorgeous as usual.”
One commenter raved, “Most beautiful woman in the world.”
Another fan gushed, “You are soooooooo beautiful. A warm and mysterious beauty. Stunning since the beginning. And such a great human being.”
Christensen became one of fashion’s defining faces in the ’90s, appearing on countless magazine covers and walking runways representing luxury designers around the world. The Danish model catapulted to stardom after starring in the 1991 music video for the Chris Isaak song “Wicked Game.”
Decades after becoming one of fashion’s most recognizable faces, Christensen continues to turn heads. Whether she’s stepping onto a red carpet or quietly enjoying the French Riviera sunshine, she does it while looking ageless and glamorous.
