And, no, she wasn't modeling it today. She was dressed in a cute striped dress and flats on this fine spring day -- which is a lot more than she sported for a recent Reebok ad.

The racy ad was definitely the talk of the town, and she claims the shoes are just great...though most people probably didn't really look at her feet when inspecting the ad.

She talked about how amazing the kicks are, and the immediate results she felt while working out and wearing them: "I'm impatient, when I try something I like to see results immediately. I could feel these working right away which is why I've stuck with them," she said.

Helena Christensen in Greenwich Village

(Pacific Coast News)more pics »Helena Christensen (Pacific Coast News)A few weeks ago, supermodel Helena Christensen unveiled her racy nude advertising campaign for Reebok's answer to the Skechers Shape-Up: EasyTone. 

The 41-year-old model claimed that she liked to wear her EasyTone sneakers while doing errands in New York City, saying, "With my busy schedule it's a perfect way to do something without spending hours in the gym."

But it looks like Ms. Christensen doesn't always choose toning shoes when she takes to the sidewalk. The Danish stunner was spotted looking lovely in a sundress and flip-flops on Tuesday. If only a pair of shoes were all it took to get a body like Helena's.

She revealed: “My son is an avid animal collector. We have a bearded dragon. She eats so much – I have to go get crickets for her all the time. But I have a son, that’s what happens.”

The 42-year-old catwalk beauty says Mingus -- her child with actor Norman Reedus -- loves animals so much he has ambitions to open a pet store when he is older, but she believes he can be anything he wants because he is so smart.

She added in an interview with InStyle magazine: “He’s pretty smart. He’s very advanced in arithmetic and all the science subjects. But his father is a really great artist, a painter and a sculptor, so he’s got that side and I love to draw as well, so I think he’s got a good mixture. And he’s a chess genius. That, he didn’t get from me.”

Helena also loves to collect antiques and when she is not hunting for miniature dolls or classic furniture she likes to add to her menagerie of ornamental animals.

She said: “I started collecting porcelain owls years ago, before everyone else did. Now, I’m collecting platypuses.”

Latest Pictures of Helena Christensen in a Bikini in Italy

Supermodel Helena Christensen shows off her famous curves in a patterned bikini as she holidays in Ischia, Italy. The 43-year-old was holidaying with her son Mingus on the island, while the star-studded Global Festival is running in the town. (Pacific Coast News)more pics »Helena Christensen (Pacific Coast News)Helena Christensen proved over the weekend that although she's now a retired Victoria's Secret angel, she certainly doesn't have to be. The supermodel hung out -- and flaunted her bikini -- on the idyllic beaches of Ischia, Italy, where fellow knockout Karolina Kurkova has been vacationing lately as well. 

Christensen recently said: "Like any woman, I worry about my body." She's been promoting the lingerie line Triumph, for whom she's a posterwoman. She told the Daily Telegraph: "It's really intimidating to go on the beach in a bikini. If someone is painting neon circles around parts of your body, like those pathetic tabloid magazines."

We promise we won't touch up any of these bikini images, since the pictures seem to speak for themselves. 

Supermodel Helena Christensen’s Beauty Guide to Copenhagen

Between the cult of Noma and the new Nordic diet, all eyes have been on Copenhagen’s thriving food scene of late. But beyond its innovative restaurant culture, the Danish capital is also emerging as a burgeoning beauty mecca. With the city’s Fashion Week kicking off today, what better time to explore its restorative spas, organic salons, and holistic apothecaries? For a list of essential destinations, we called on supermodel (and former Miss Denmark) Helena Christensen, who was raised in Copenhagen and continues to visit regularly. “Danish beauty is very natural,” she explains of the national preference for a more wellness-minded approach. “We live on islands surrounded by the ocean and nature is very inspiring in our routines. Women here seem to value a healthy lifestyle in general.”

Here, Christensen opens up her little black book—and shares the local product she loves best.

THE CUT & COLOR
“I go to two different places for my hair, one being Mono on Sankt Annæ Gade. It’s in a historical area of Copenhagen called Christianshavn, which is where I live. The salon is small, personal, and very cozy—and they do great color. Also, it’s next to my favorite little coffee store in the city, Sweet Treat. The other salon, Zenz, is in a wonderful part of Copenhagen, right in the center, on Grønnegade. They only use organic hair color and have their own great line of natural products, including a beautiful oil called Deep Wood No. 99, which I use in my hair and on my body.”

THE FACIAL & MASSAGE
“I go to Amazing Space at the Hotel d’Angleterre. It’s the most wonderful spa—beautifully decorated and very peaceful, with the loveliest treatments. They make these delicious smoothies when you arrive and have their own range of really great products—very efficient face masks and serums, all with a heavenly scent. I’ll see anyone who is available.  It’s also a spa and massage destination, so you can book a half-day and get everything done. Afterward, you walk away glowing.”
