Helena Christensen is stunning at the NYC premiere of He’s Just Not That Into You, mixing dusty purple and gray tones with the greatest of ease. Take a cue from her and play with texture as well – her patent heels, velvet blazer, and silky dress create a luxurious, rich effect.

Helena Christensen keeps warm for a night out in NYC, layering a chunky knit sweater over a party-perfect lace minidress. Sheer tights and satin pumps provide an interesting play with textures.

Helena tries out a tone on tone palette, wearing her skinniest gray jeans with a leather jacket and cozy sweater in the same color.

The trick to making this appear purposeful is to make sure the pieces you choose are slightly different in intensity and adding a pop of color as Helena did with her cheery green scarf.

Helena Christensen works a belted shirtdress ingeniously inspired by the classic trench coat.

The big buttons and belt add character, and she upped the sex appeal by unbuttoning to show off the subtlest glimpse of sheer lace bra. Simple gold sandals and a cream Marc Jacobs bag round this look out.
