Helena Christensen infused her sartorial agenda with a sultry lace twist as she graced the Coco De Mer 25 Years Party during London Fashion Week on September 17.
The model wore a black lace bodysuit that featured a deep neckline with a risque sheer design. The garment was styled with silky polka-dot pants and a matching oversized top that draped elegantly over the silhouette. The outfit was accessorized with a black clutch and a pair of open-toe heels.
Helena’s luscious brunette locks were styled into a bombshell blowout while her makeup oozed soft glam, courtesy of a bronze eye and bold red lip.
Coco de Mer, the London-born luxury lingerie and sexual wellness house, marked its 25th anniversary this year. To celebrate the milestone, Coco de Mer hosted an exclusive anniversary event at Dear Darling Mayfair in partnership with the model.
“Some of my favourite work has been with Coco de Mer, both behind the camera and in front of it,” said Helena in the press release. “They trusted me to shape how a woman is seen through my own creative lens. Sensuality is a personal thing, and I’ve always liked that Coco de Mer has given the women I’ve photographed the freedom to express themselves and feel confident on their own terms rather than dictating it. I’ve been a fan of Coco de Mer far longer than I’ve been a collaborator. What I’ve always loved about the brand is that everything is so beautifully made and such a joy to wear. Co-hosting the 25-year celebration feels like the perfect way to mark our story, together.”

It is a celebration of how far the conversation around female desire has come, while also looking ahead to our next chapter.”
Helena Christensen’s beauty secrets

“I feel like I can really control the color with my fingers, more than with brushes. But then in the end, I use a brush to sort of just go over it so the edges are smooth and to blend it perfectly. I also feel that when you use your fingers, you get the blood flow going and your own natural color comes through. For brushes, I do love the ones for foundations that can get a little wet.”
