Helena Christensen, 52, puts on busty display in plunging swimsuit

Helena Christensen revealed she has 'only laughed seven times' throughout 2021 as she shared a sizzling new snap on Instagram on Friday.

The supermodel, 52, looked sensational in the black one-piece that showcased her ample assets as she lounged on a chair and penned a poignant caption.

Alongside the shot, she revealed her laughs had been kept to a minimum during 2021, as she wrote: 'This is one of the 7 times I laughed this year.'

Helena, one of the world's original supermodels, posed up a storm with her arms above her head, showing off her tattoos on her bicep.

Her brunette locks were slicked back with water and she completed her look with a classic red lip for a pop of colour on her dazzling grin.

She did not specify why her laughs had been so minimal, yet seemed hopefuly for a more prosperous year when 2022 came around on Saturday.

In her caption, she continued: 'So I thought it was a suitable shot to thank you for all the birthday love, really really touched me so much. But seriously, may 2022 (here we go again) be a healthy, safe, hug and laugh-filled year for the world'.

Helena's dazzling modelling career was launched when she won the Miss Universe Denmark title in 1986 and went on to reach staggering heights.

She went on to become one of the original 1990s supermodels alongside Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford.

Since her break into the fashion industry, Helena also has become an accomplished photographer and was a co-founder of Nylon magazine that published from 1999 to 2017.

In 2019, the stunning model spoke to the Daily Mail about some of the fitness secrets that have helped her maintain her bombshell figure.

'I think it's important to shake it up and do as many different forms of workout as possible, but also to incorporate nature into them,' she said.

'Swim in the ocean, swim in rivers, swim in lakes. Hiking, trekking, chopping wood...

'It's the best way of working out, because it doesn't really feel like a workout. It feels like you're alive,' Helena explained.

The Copenhagen native is the mum to a 20-year-old son named Mingus, who she shares with Norman Reedus, who she dated between 1998 and 2003.
