She was famous for her underwear and bikini shots in her supermodel heyday, but Helena Christensen has still got the magic at 40.
The Danish model was spotted in a tiny purple bikini as she holidayed in St Barts.
She is in the Caribbean resort with son, Mingus, nine, U2 frontman Bono, his wife Ali Hewson and their children

GREAT body!
I think the bikini is cute, too.

It's so weird....her face has always tried to ride a fine line between gorgeous and granny meth hag.

What's wrong with the modelling world today: If a model today looked like her in even that '98 pic, they'd call her fat and tell her to lose a minimum of 20# if she even dared a hope of gracing a cover.

wow she looks fab.

Yawn. Another bikini shot.

**LynnieD** · April 8th, 2009, 02:51 PM

She looks good....the face needs some help, but otherwise...ok.

**bellini** · April 8th, 2009, 04:04 PM

Great body but the face is so hard looking now.

She just looks normal for 40, she's simply at a normal weight it's not extraordinary

I don't think she needs any hard-core PS, but she just looks like someone who would benefit from a peel or something else that would even out her skin tone. I've noticed that the brown spot on her cheek seems to be more prominent.
