is she still dating Paul banks from Interpol? I love them together, used to see them walking around NY when I lived there.
dailymail.comHelena Christensen has been in the modelling industry for almost 30 years, so it's no surprise that she knows how to make herself look good.
What might surprise, though, is that the 42-year-old looks quite this much better than her colleagues who are mostly half her age.
In a shoot for InStyle, Christensen, who is wearing dark eye make-up and scraped-back hair, proves she's still got it - more than 26 years after she won the Miss Denmark crown.
Instyle's photos show Christensen wearing tailored dresses and a catsuit that all emphasise her incredible body.
The flowing outfits are teamed up with with minimal golden accessories and sky-scraping platforms.
The Danish beauty stepped behind the camera in the Noughties.
She held her first photography exhibition in 2006, and quickly became almost as well known for her photographs of Bono, REM's Michael Stipe and Robbie Williams, as for her modelling.
Her photos have appeared in Marie Claire and Elle magazines and, judging by these images, it seems like taking pictures has only helped Christensen to look even more beautiful back in front of the lens.
For the model, age is just a number.
'I wasn't worried about turning 40 at all,' she said in an interview last year. 'I want to live to be 120. That's when I will start worrying about my age.'
Refreshingly, she does admit to having to work to maintain her figure though. 'Things have changed now,' she says, 'and I do have to exercise a lot - I didn't do any at all when I was young.'
The green-eyed beauty was part of the same generation of models as Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. All of her contemporaries are still making headlines for their age-defying looks.
But Christensen admits that she never felt comfortable with the 'supermodel' label.
'I always thought it was kind of embarrassing and funny, but I'm grateful to have been part of something that felt like that,' she said in an interview with The Mirror last year.
'We were a group of girls who came along at the same time. We all looked different and we all represented different cultures and different personalities.
'Someone just labelled us the supermodel - it's one of those labels you get stuck with.
'But we are all still part of something that we did together.'
