Happy (belated) birthday, Helena Christensen! The Danish model turned 55 on Dec. 25, and celebrated by taking a dip in a river with her family.
Christensen donned a pink patterned one-piece swimsuit for the occasion, which featured black-and-blue accents and a plunging neckline. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel shared a carousel of pics and videos of the event on Instagram on Christmas Day.
In the first snap, she was captured descending a ladder into a body of water, while a video clip then showed her jumping in. The post also included pics of her mother, Elsa Christensen, and her sister, Anita Sonne, along with other family members.
“Birthday chills w my family 🩵,” Christensen noted in her caption.
Many of the model’s 1.1 million followers chimed in to the comments section to wish her a wonderful day.
“Happy bday beautiful,” four-time SI Swmsuit model Lais Ribeiro wrote.
“Merry merry & happy Bday I can’t believe you swim in that cold water every year,” a fan added. “Love it! They say cold water preserves… must be your secret to looking so fab .”
“Happy birthday my queen. I love you. ,” actress Julianne Moore gushed.
“Happy birthday Helena. You are a beautiful gift to your family and the world. ,” another follower praised.
Last year, Christensen indulged in the same tradition. For her 54th birthday, the Nylon magazine cofounder donned a bright pink dress before shedding it to reveal a black one-piece strapless swimsuit underneath.
