Helena Christensen used to buy and wear USED men’s pants as a teenager and pair them with ballgowns

Helena Christensen has revealed that she used to buy and wear used men’s briefs as a teenager.

The Danish supermodel, 54, was born in Copenhagen and explained that she didn’t have fashion magazines growing up, so she resorted to finding different ways to express her creativity.

Having a strong interest in fashion from a young age, she says this led her to go to thrift stores for inspiration.

speaking to SunHelena said: I didn’t have fashion magazines, but when I was a teenager one of my favorite stores was second-hand.

‘I would buy men’s underwear and ball gowns and mix and match them. That was my look, it was funny.

“I feel such joy walking into a little store and looking at all these pieces that belonged to someone else, maybe many, many decades ago.”

Helena also added that it was the ‘history’ of the second-hand pieces she bought that fascinated them, considering the ‘history they bring’ within the cloth worn by men and women.

It comes after Helena shared a photo of a ‘sexual enhancer’ that promised ‘bigger, stronger and headache-free’ on her Instagram Stories.

This week, the 54-year-old supermodel showed off the packaging for the product, which was called The Rock and contained a capsule and featured a filmy brooch on the front.

While Helena wouldn’t divulge if the enhancer was hers, she scoffed at the product’s marketing, captioning the photo: “No headache.” [laughing]’.

After pulling the X-rated prank, Helena shared a sizzle on her page of herself in a pretty strapless floral dress.

The lingerie model showed off her incredible figure in the form-fitting dress, as she posed up a storm in a mirror selfie.

Helena opted for minimal makeup in the photo and wore her brown locks up in a messy bun.

Helena’s latest updates come after she braved sub-zero temperatures to go swimming outdoors on her birthday, which falls on Christmas Day.

It looked like she wasn’t struggling at all as she plunged her shoulders under the freezing water while at her home in Denmark.

The mother-of-one showed off her amazing figure in a black bathing suit with a pink belt detail cinching her waist.

Helena gathered her brunette locks into a bun and rocked a glam makeup look with a bold red lip.

He went down some stairs and jumped into the icy water before swimming in the picturesque lake.

Giving her followers an update on how she spent her birthday and Christmas, she wrote: “Happy birthday to me, another dip around the sun.”

The Danish supermodel is the proud mother of her only child, 23-year-old Mingus Reedus, whose father is The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus (1998-2003).

Over the years, Christensen has also had long-term romances with the late singer and frontman extraordinaire Michael Hutchence (1991-1995) of INXS and the singer/guitarist of the American rock band Interpol (2008-2015).

Helena recently shared memories of Hutchence after her sister criticized her for keeping her brain injury a secret.

And sharing snapshots of that moment on Instagram on Tuesday, she wrote: ‘Hi Michael, just got off the phone with some friends of yours who love you very much.

We shared some beautiful memories and of course we had a lot of laughs because being around you was so much fun and joyful.

‘You made everyone feel alive and loved, there was always such a magical light around you, a light that will never go out.

‘Thank you @fabrizioferriofficial for sharing these contact sheets with me ❤️.’

The post came after Michael’s sister criticized Helena for not disclosing that she suffered a brain injury during a visit to Denmark in August 1992.

Tina Hutchence said her family learned only three years ago that the INXS frontman suffered a brain injury after he was hit by a Copenhagen taxi driver.

Speaking to The Sun this week, Tina said she was angry the ’90s supermodel waited so long to speak out about the incident, after Michael committed suicide in a Sydney hotel room on November 22, 1997.

“I know Michael was so happy with Helena and there was a time when I couldn’t imagine them not being together,” she said.

“But I felt angry when I first found out about the assault, as I felt it was his duty to tell his family something.”

Tina said there were “horrible stories” about Michael after his death, including that he passed away from a sex act gone wrong. She said Helena could have communicated privately with her family.

‘There were all these horrible stories about Michael after he died, so Helena not telling us about the head injury was wrong. She was very close to our parents and could have easily gotten closer.”

Tina added: “I’m sure if Michael hadn’t had that accident in Denmark he would still be with us today.”
