Helena Christensen Gives Model-Off-Duty Style a Winter Touch

Helena Christensen is a supermodel with the off-duty style to match. The 52-year-old Danish icon and muse to the late Gianni Versace has graced countless runway shows and campaigns, but her personal style on the streets is just as enviable as the clothes she often models. She’s rocked micro-shorts in the summer, and bundled up in the fall with a striped scarf and a Balenciaga motorcycle bag. Today, Christensen also showed off how she dresses up in the winter—a tough season to flex a fit in, considering hefty coats conceal most of it. But she totally nailed the casual-cool look of New York City, where she was spotted running an errand. 

Christensen took her Australian Shepherd, Kuma, for a walk today wearing an ensemble that was cozy, but chic. The model’s base layer was a beige jumpsuit, which she paired with an unexpected pop of color: a shearling, Zara, button-up coat in bubblegum pink. She even coordinated her sneakers so that the coat could truly pop. There were no gloves or winter hat here: she wore a striped headband instead. After all, the look is practical, but it’s not meant to be totally utilitarian. The streets are her runway! And Kuma is the best possible company down the catwalk.
