Still one super model at 42: Helena Christensen shows off her age-defying body in a bikini

It's been 20 years since Helena Christensen stripped off in the video for Chris Issak's Wicked Game.

But amazingly it looks like time has stopped for the age-defying supermodel as she showed off her amazing figure on holiday in Italy.

The Danish beauty, 42, looked as trim as ever in a multi-coloured floral bikini as she worked on her tan on the island of Ischia.

Despite her age and become a mother to son Mingus in 1999, Christensen appears just as slim as she did during the height of her supermodel fame in the Nineties.

The model-turned-photographer is vacationing on the island off the coast of Naples during the annual Ischia Global Festival.

When she turned 40 two years ago, Christensen insisted turning middle-aged wouldn't mean she covered up.

She told Elle magazine: 'I have no problems with showing my body. I�m Danish. Everyone�s naked on the beaches. We don�t really give a s***.�

However, she admits she hates the term 'supermodel' - previously describing it as 'silly and cartoonish'.

Christensen is just one of a host of stars attending the eight-day festival, including Gerard Butler, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sting, Eli Roth and Karolina Kurkova.

Scottish star Butler has been named Actor Of The Year - seven years after he was named New Actor Of The Year at the same festival.
