We choose the Danish model's best outfits of all time
Helena Christensen, globally renowned model (and Vogue Scandinavia's latest cover star) needs little introduction: one of the original ‘supers’ alongside the likes of Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell, Christensen has been a household name since the 1990s.
Top fashion houses have always clamoured to be associated with Christensen, who was Gianni Versace’s muse and has modelled in campaigns for Chanel, Lanvin and Valentino, to name a few.
Off the runway, her style sense is just as well-known: she’s as likely to rock a Zara jacket as she is a Balenciaga dress, sporting sharp suits to fashion weeks and statement gowns at awards shows.
Here, we’ve rounded up her most noteworthy red carpet looks, from the Vanity Fair's Oscars parties to premieres and screenings.
