All about Victoria Silvstedt · 24 days ago by Victoria Fan Boi

At one time Victoria Silvstedt was a member of the Swedish National Ski Team, ranking as high as fourth among her Olympic teammates in the Super-Giant Slalom, but a tragic shoulder injury ended her promising skiing career at the tender age of sixteen. As a sports person, she was always a bit of a tom-boy who supposedly had never worn high heels, but her mother and sister secretly entered her into the 1993 Miss Sweden Beauty Pageant.

Victoria Silvstedt was the first runner-up in Miss Sweden, and then went on to represent Sweden in the Miss World contest in South Africa, reaching the final eight contestants. Resultantly, Silvstedt was signed by a Parisian modeling agent and began a career in high fashion, working for various prestigious companies including Chanel, Christian Dior, Loris Azzaro, Givenchy, Valentino and Giorgio Armani.

After being approached directly by Hugh Hefner, she appeared as a centerfold in the December 1996 issue of Playboy and was subsequently named Playmate of the Year in 1997. As a European not being aware of the wider distribution and publicity effect of Playboy, she suddenly broke into the North American market.

As a result, she became a spokesmodel for many popular brands such as Guess? Jeans, and started to guest appear in films including: Boat Trip, The Independent, Baseketball, and Out Cold. She was already well recognised in the UK when she took on a new career, hosting The Late Show on Virgin Radio, and as a guest host on the tv show Eurotrash

Like many Glamour models and Playmates before her, she is trying to branch out into acting and business. Having taken some guest appearances in previous Hollywood films playing up to her Swedish-Blonde “Inga” character, she is now acting in lead roles in European films mainly based in Italy, and taking to the stage in North America [1] In February 2006, like many other models and celebreties had before, she launched her own lingerie range during London Fashion Week [2]
