Helena Christensen has enjoyed a touching reunion with the stepmother of her late former boyfriend Michael Hutchence during her visit to Sydney this week.
The Danish supermodel, 57, caught up with Susan 'Susie' Hutchence, who was married to the late INXS frontman's father, Kelland Hutchence.
The pair were delighted to be reunited as they posed for a sun-soaked selfie at a Sydney beach, almost 29 years after Michael's tragic death.
Helena looked radiant in a pale yellow jacket decorated with subtle sun motifs, which she layered over a sage green top.
The former Victoria's Secret model wore her brunette locks loose with her tousled fringe framing her face, opting for a natural makeup look and rosy pink lipstick.
Meanwhile, Susie looked equally stylish in a crisp white blazer and matching blouse, accessorising with oversized black sunglasses.

Helena dated the charismatic INXS singer from 1991 until 1995, during the height of his fame, and has spoken candidly about the devastating impact his death had on her.

Despite their split two years earlier, Helena maintained a close relationship with Michael's family, including his father Kelland and stepmother Susie.
In a moving tribute published on Michael's official memorial website, the supermodel revealed she had remained in contact with his family following his death.
'They became really good friends with my family, and we've been to see them a lot since,' she said.
Helena also recalled speaking with Michael just five days before his death, describing it as one of their best conversations since their separation.
