Transgender beauty Valentina Sampaio, who has appeared in other campaigns for the brand, is also pH๏τographed modeling the latest designs. 
Helena, who was one of the brand’s original Angels, looks sensational in red lace lingerie, styled with a silk robe tied around her svelte waist.
In a second sH๏τ she slips into black lace lingerie, paired with a leopard print gown and matching slippers with a black faux-fur trim.
Helena exudes confidence as she sits with one toned arm resting under her chin while offering the camera a coqettish glance.
