Helena Christensen's black-and-white tweed shines at Melbourne Derby Day races

Supermodel Helena Christensen wore a pearl-detailed tweed outfit at Melbourne's Derby Day. Australian designer Rebecca Vallance created the look.

The 90s supermodel turned heads at the Lexus pavilion in a black-and-white two-piece tweed suit with pearl detailing. She paired it with a Nerida Winter hat and Jimmy Choo heels.

Designer Rebecca Vallance created the look with Christensen's shape and style in mind. Vallance wore a simple cream dress with black lace trim and opera gloves to let Christensen stand out.

The work shows how Australian design talent can partner with world-known names. Christensen said vintage fashion inspired her.

She loved pieces with timeless quality that still feel fresh and modern.
