Helena Christensen celebrates her 55th birthday in sexy one-piece bathing suit

Talk about a birthday suit!

Helena Christensen turned 55 on Christmas day and the supermodel mom literally jumped into her new chapter of life by taking the plunge in some freezing cold waters — in a sizzling bathing suit!

Seemingly sticking to tradition (Christensen also took a dip in a strapless swimsuit on her 54th), the former Victoria's Secret Angel wore a pink zip-up one-piece with a geometric pattern for another quick birthday swim in the river.

In photos shared to Instagram on Tuesday, Christensen poses in the one-piece, which she left unzipped at the top to create a plunging neckline. She also rocks her signature, bold red lip.

Christensen also included a photo of her 24-year-old son, Mingus Lucien Reedus (who she shares with ex Norman Reedus), who is pictured embracing his mom in a sweet hug.

“Birthday chills w my family,” Christensen captioned the post.

The fashion industry icon received well-wishes from friends Julianna Moore, who commented, “Happy birthday my queen. I love you,” and Claudia Schiffer.
