Helena Christensen, 56, shows off her toned legs and ageless physique in a sparkling black mini dress as she attends Balmain dinner in New York

Helena Christensen looked jaw-dropping showing off her endless legs while at Balmain’s lavish dinner in New York on Thursday.

The legendary supermodel, 56, showcased her ageless physique in a sparkling black mini dress, which featured trim-pearl embellishments and sheer sleeves.

The Danish beauty was a vision in the dazzling number, which she completed with glossy tights and a chic rose-gold clutch bag.

Joining the runway queen at the exclusive fashion dinner were Iron Man actress Leslie Bibb and Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing.

Inside the event, Helena was also snapped busy in an engaging conversation with American writer Derek Blasberg.

Earlier in January, the catwalk icon showed off her age-defying figure in a strapless pink bikini as she posed on a sunny beach.

It was a far cry from the Danish model’s dip into a frozen pond, which she shared with her Instagram followers last month.

During her jaunt to the beach she cemented her supermodel status by making a makeshift seaweed hat, that she playfully teamed with her swimwear.

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, who did not disclose which exotic location she was at, shared a string of snaps of herself, including one in which she’s seen smiling with her hands on her waist looking into the camera with the seaweed crown.

She captured it in images: ‘Seaweed I did there?’

Fans complimented the ‘beautiful’ and ‘forever young’ model’s snaps along with her famous pals, including actress Kate Bosworth, 42, who wrote in the comment section: ‘Magical girl in the most magical place.’ Christensen replied: ‘Our secret spot.’

Helena was accompanied by son Mingus Lucien, 25, her only child with actor Norman Reedus – as they unwound close to the shoreline. 

The Danish star welcomed Mingus, who works in the music industry, during a five year relationship with The Walking Dead star Reedus in 1999. 

The model and mother of one routinely shares images of her bikini body on her Instagram page to the delight of her followers.

She also previously shared her beauty secrets and said: ‘Whether I have five minutes or an hour, I’ll devote time to a mini – or less mini – ritual, where I put oils on my body and massage them in, almost turning it into a little exercise moment where I stretch at the same time. 

‘I like to slap my arms and legs and the sides of my calves for circulation.’

Helena’s latest holiday follows a tribute she posted to her ‘beautiful friend’ Lisbeth McCoy earlier this year after she sadly passed away.

The supermodel took to Instagram to share a poignant tribute to her decades-long friendship with the sculpture artist.
