Model Helena Christensen looked out of this world as she showed off her ageless beauty in a new social media post.
The 55-year-old star took to her Instagram to post a carousel of pictures from her birthday celebrations - which fell on Christmas Day. She captioned the photos: "Birthday chills with my family." In one snap, Helena looked happy as she posed on the ladder as she climbed out of the river she was swimming in.
She rocked a light pink one-piece swimsuit with black and blue detailing. Her bright lipstick still perfectly sat on her face as she showed off her pearly whites. Helena also posted a video of herself jumping into the cold water while the strong winds could be heard in the background.
Helena also shared a snap of some family members hugging after a long day of celebrations.

"Happy birthday Helena. You are a beautiful gift to your family and the world," one user posted while another added: "You are everything birthday girl!!!! I love you." Her birthday celebrations come several months after the supermodel made her return to the catwalk.
She made a rare catwalk appearance at Copenhagen Fashion Week in August. She looked sensational as she took to the runway for the Stine Goya Spring/Summer collection on Wednesday and proved that she's still capable of holding the title. The mum-of-one was just one of several who walked for Goya but certainly stood out from the crowd.
The iconic star stunned as she slipped into a pale blue one-shouldered dress which was neatly decorated by pearls around the neckline, as well as a ruffled shoulder design. Completing her look, Helena opted for a pair of similar coloured heeled slip-on shoes.
Her signature brunette locks were swept back into a neat bun, and she rocked a natural make-up look which accentuated her tan and impeccable facial features as she strutted on the catwalk – which was the street on which Stine Goya previously lived.
Despite currently being based in New York, Helena remains true to her Scandinavian routes and previously opened up about her relaxed way of life. Speaking to Vogue, she said: "Coming from Denmark, [you are encouraged to] look at all the little things that are important and beautiful, that make you happy. It's not about the big things."
