Victoria Silvstedt (born September 19, 1974 in Skellefteå, Sweden) is a Swedish model and actress.
Career
Silvstedt was a member Swedish National Ski Team, ranking as high as fourth among her Olympic teammates in the Super-Giant Slalom, but a shoulder injury ended her skiing career at 16. As a sports person, she was 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.
Silvstedt was the first runner-up in Miss Sweden, and after the winner withdrew 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 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 Guess? Jeans, and started to 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
In 2002, Playboy released a limited edition doll based on her likeness and emphasized it was an anatomically correct model of her body.
Silvstedt married WCBS Sports anchor, Chris Wragge in 2003, and the couple currently live in Manhattan, New York City, New York.
In 2005, Silvstedt was voted "2nd sexiest blonde in the world", by readers of Nuts magazine - actress Jennifer Ellison was first.
