Helena Christensen sizzles in a selection of seductive scarlet looks for Marie Claire magazine

Red hot! Helena Christensen sizzles in a selection of seductive scarlet looks for Marie Claire magazine 

She's one of the original supermodels, gracing countless magazine covers and billboards in the 90s.
And Helena Christensen has proved she's still got what it takes by posing for a red hot cover shoot for the February 2015 issue of Mexico's Marie Claire magazine.
The 46-year-old star, who has turned her hand to photography in recent years, doesn't appear to have aged one bit since her modelling heyday.

Helena looks stunning in the fashion editorial, shot by Hunter & Gatti, as she shows off a series of scarlet ensembles.

Modelling everything from a pretty prom dress to a glamorous caped silk gown and a shimmery, short-hemmed shift, Helena could certainly show newcomers a thing or two.

'None of the girls ever cared much about the actual supermodel phenomenon', she told The Edit.

Rihanna goes demure in pink dress and silver jacket at the Dior Cruise Fashion Show in Brooklyn

Good Girl Gone Stylish! Racy Rihanna goes demure in pink dress and silver jacket at the Dior Cruise Fashion Show in Brooklyn

She's about as famous for her scantily-clad ensembles as her catchy pop songs.
But racy Rihanna donned quite a demure pink dress and stylish silver coat as she arrived at the Dior Cruise Fashion Show, in Brooklyn Wednesday.
The 26-year-old tattooed diva looked ladylike in the short-sleeved silky frock, which she paired with Dior pumps, purse, and jewelry - and threw the modern-looking jacket over her shoulders. 
Ready to roll: even covered up in a metallic silver coat Rihanna still dazzled

The seven-time Grammy winner grinned as she showcased the French brand's pearl earrings, silver cuff with matching necklace, and the pearl cuff retails at $1,500 - according to Rihanna Overdose.
Arriving at the show that evening, the star channelled vintage Hollywood glamour in a stylish grey overcoat. 
    The stylish jacket sported two huge pockets appliquéd to the front and puff-ball sleeves. 
    The star smiled as she was accosted by fans, and waited around on the side walk as they took selfies with their idol.

    It was a far more conservative Rihanna than fans saw at Monday's Up & Down after-party (gold slinky gown) and Met Gala (white Stella McCartney).
    Riri - born Robyn Fenty - managed to flash both her sideboob and derriere while rocking the backless creation.
    The selfie enthusiast took a social hit Monday when her Instagram account mysteriously disappeared.
    But it wasn't due to any raunchy images posted by The Diamonds hitmaker.
    A rep for Instagram told MailOnline: 'This account was mistakenly caught in one of our automated systems and very briefly disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience.'

    Happy Birthday Ultimo! The A-list's favourite bust-boosting bra brand celebrates its 14th anniversary

    Happy Birthday Ultimo! The A-list's favourite bust-boosting bra brand celebrates its 14th anniversary

    • The brand launched in 1999 with a classic silicone filled bra
    • Current face is Luisiana Lopilato, past faces include Kelly Brook and Mel B
    • Brand shot to fame when worn by Julia Roberts in the film Erin Brockovich
    • Boss Michelle Mone says last year has been tough but now improving
    From Helena Christensen to Luisiana Lopilato, Britain's favourite bust-boosting bra brand has had a stellar succession of leading ladies in its campaigns over the years.
    Starting with Lisa Snowdon in 1999, Ultimo has also worked with Penny Lancaster, Rachel Stewart, Peaches Geldof and Scary Spice, Mel B.
    And to celebrate the brand's 14th birthday, we have brought together all of Ultimo's leading ladies.

    'I am so thrilled to be celebrating the brand’s 14th birthday. Ultimo has grown from a single, small idea into a heritage UK lingerie brand,' said founder Michelle Mone, 41, herself no stranger to appearing in front of the camera in her underwear.
    'I’m so proud of my team and excited about the year ahead, which is going to be enormous for Ultimo.'
    The lingerie label, which launched in 1999, is famous for its cleavage-boosting designs and was one of the first to use celebrities rather than models in its campaigns.
    Its first bra contained silicone gel and promised a boost without resorting to surgery. The enhancing lingerie proved a huge hit and a mega-brand was born.

    'Ultimo launched with one bra concept and we have since had huge successes with other creations, including Ultimo Promise and the Backless Body,' added Mone.
    'For me, our success is all down to the fact that we’re constantly striving to create that next incredible invention – paired with unrivalled fit and design.'
    The last year has been a difficult one for Mone, thanks to her split from husband Michael, who co-founded the label, and news that her former flame is to launch a rival lingerie firm.
    Matters were made worse by allegations of an affair with former Ultimo head designer, Samantha Bunn, who has now joined Michael at Pendulum Apparel.
    'The past 12 months have been pretty tough to say the least, due to my separation,' admitted Mone. 
    But according to the lingerie supremo, prospects are looking decidedly perky as the dust settles in the wake of the split.
    'I’m delighted to say that business is back on track and growing steadily,' she added. 'Our partnership with MAS Holdings means the sky is the limit and I’m very excited about Ultimo’s future. 
    'Here’s to another 14 years.'
