Helena Christensen brings her supermodel star power to Victoria Beckham’s secret perfume launch party… and David Beckham shares his support too
Helena Christensen sent temperatures soaring on a chilly night in the West Village as she arrived at Victoria Beckham’s secret perfume launch party in a classic little black dress.
The 54-year-old model looked effortlessly elegant in the monochromatic look as she arrived at the party in Manhattan.
The event was also attended by Victoria’s husband David Beckham, 48, who made a quick entrance earlier in the evening to show his wife his support.
Victoria is releasing three new fragrances – Suite 302, Portofino ’97 and San Ysidro Drive – which retail for a whopping $200 for 50ml or $290 for 100ml. She told Harper’s Bazaar that the scents were chosen to represent special memories and points from her and ‘David’s love story’.
Helena, who revealed her age-defying figure last month when she posed nude with Cindy Crawford and other fashion icons for the cover of Vanity Fair, wore an intriguing halter dress with its double straps held up by two metal rods, again rest of her dress.

The sleeveless design accentuated her toned arms, and the dress also appeared to be backless.
It had a modest slit down the middle of the skirt, which reached down to Helena’s knees.
She accessorized her dress with strappy black sandals, and she carried a substantial black knitted clutch in one hand.
The brunette beauty had her dark hair styled delicately, revealing her long dangling earrings, topped with black floral designs, and she added a pop of color to her ensemble with a splash of crimson across her lips.
It was dark when Helena and many of the other guests arrived at the secret event space for the intimate opening, but Victoria’s husband, David, made sure to arrive early to make it go smoothly.
The tattooed football icon was seen getting out of a car and quickly walking into the venue.
He looked dapper in a dark pinstripe suit which he wore with a tie-free white shirt.
However, the athlete-turned-fashion star’s shirt appeared to bunch up as he drove to the venue, so he was seen quickly tucking it back into his trousers as he hurried along.
David, who wore his hair short and sported a short beard, also sported a set of chunky dark sunglasses.

Fashion influencer Olivia Palermo also made a splash at the under-the-radar launch party.
By her side was her chiseled husband Johannes Huebl, who is a model and designer.
Olivia was on the same page as Helena and styled herself in a gorgeous black sleeveless dress.
However, she opted for a more modest design with a long skirt that reached her ankles and flared out dramatically.
The dress featured a textured, ruched material for added visual intrigue, and it was slightly ruffled around the bodice.
The brunette beauty elevated her stature with a matching pair of black pointed-toe boots, and she wore a chunky silver necklace around her neck for a little extra glamour.
Olivia’s hair was styled in a chic and playful tousled bob that was parted in the middle and partially swept back behind her ears.
She showed off a tasteful smoky eye and added some color with a lovely burgundy lip.
Johannes was somewhat more comfortable but equally stylish. He was wearing a slim black jacket with a turned-down collar, along with a white shirt underneath which he had left loose.
He paired it with black trousers and simple white, green and brown sneakers, while sporting shaggy hair and an excellent salt and pepper beard.
