The fashion icon wore a blush-coloured blazer draped over her shoulders, and added height to her frame with a pair of baby pink block heels.

The supermodel wore her brunette locks scraped back from her face and opted for minimal make-up to accentuate her naturally striking features. 

The mother-of-one appeared in high spirits at the event, mingling with the likes of Carolyn Murphy, 45, Ashley Graham, 32, and fashion designer Victor Glemaud, 41.  

Helena recently discussed the secret to maintaining her incredible figure, citing the ‘Viking mentality’ and incorporating nature into her workouts.

Speaking to the Mail On Sunday’s You magazine in September, she explained: ‘I think it’s important to shake it up and do as many different forms of workout as possible, but also to incorporate nature into them. 

‘Swim in the ocean, swim in rivers, swim in lakes. Hiking, trekking, chopping wood – it’s the best way of working out, because it doesn’t really feel like a workout. It feels like you’re alive. 

‘This summer, several times a day, I would go down to the beach and sprint barefoot with my dog, jump in the ocean and just move around like crazy in the water. It’s where I feel the calmest, happiest, most stable. 

‘It’s just the Viking mentality. I have this yearning to be near water. It’s almost an obsession. If I woke up one morning and had a mermaid tail, it wouldn’t surprise me.’

Helena’s modelling career was launched when she won the Miss Universe Denmark title back in 1986.

She went on to become one of the original 1990s supermodels alongside Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer.

Helena is mother to son Mingus, 19, with her former boyfriend, actor Norman Reedus, 50. 

She previously dated the late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, who tragically passed away in 1997, aged 37.

The model split from Paul Banks, 41, frontman of rock band Interpol, last year after a decade together.
