Helena Christensen is going cool for summer.
The supermodel, 53, revealed a dramatic hair transformation on Instagram today when she posted photos of herself sporting a much shorter haircut — and her celebrity friends adored the heel.
“It felt good,” she captioned the series of snaps, adding emojis including a hot face, scissors and a sticking tongue.
Wearing a strapless bikini top, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel – who usually wears her hair down to her waist – smiles at the camera in two stunning selfies, showing off a shoulder-length ‘do’.
As it turned out, her niece, Sarah-Sofie Sonne, was responsible for the cut — and Christensen shared a photo of Sonne holding a pair of scissors to her aunt’s long locks and a photo showing how long her hair used to be.
House Inhabit’s Jessica Reed-Kraus praised Sonne’s cutting skills, writing, “Good job @sarahsofiesonne” with a heart eye emoji, while Maye Musk added two of the emojis in her own comment.
Fellow ’90s models Linda Evangelista, Yasmeen Ghauri and Gail Elliott were certainly fans of the cropped look, with Evangelista commenting, “Love it!” with four hearts, Ghauri writes, “Beautiful! Though you are beautiful anyway,” and Elliott added, “Any height suits you, Helena.”
While the brunette beauty is relatively unobtrusive these days, concentrating on photography and her fashion and lifestyle brand Stærk & Christensen, last summer she starred in a lingerie campaign for Coco de Mer and collaborated with her son Mingus – who also works as a model — for a Victoria’s Secret Mother’s Day shoot in 2021.
Long or short, we hope to see more of Christensen in 2022.
