Victoria Silvstedt

Victoria Silvstedt is a Swedish-born supermodel who has become internationally famous first as a Playboy Playmate of the Year and then as a stunningly beautiful high fashion cover girl. If this isn't enough she started out as an international skier and she has now branched out into singing, TV work and acting. A very accomplished, as well as beautiful, young lady.

Victoria Silvstedt was born in September, 1974 in a tiny village in the north of Sweden. She grew up a tomboy with no thought of a glamorous modeling career. At almost six feet tall, she was a natural athlete and became a top class skier in her teens. Until a shoulder injury curtailed her skiing career, she was a member of Sweden's national Giant Slalom team. After her injury in 1993 Victoria was entered by her mother in the Miss Sweden Beauty Contest and came second. This was enough to get her noticed by the modeling agencies and she started a new life as a glamour and fashion model working for such names as Christian Dior, Loris Azzaro and Givenchy.

High Flying Career

 Victoria was already a high-flying catwalk and magazine model when she was invited to do a shoot for Playboy in 1996. She proved to be a sensation and was the December 1996 Playmate of the Month and the following year became Playmate of the Year.

Since then Victoria's modeling career has gone from strength to strength and she has appeared on the covers of many top glamour magazines such as MAXIM, and FHM all over the world. She is one classy lady and she has also represented major brands such as  Nike, Renault, Coors, and Radisson. She's still going places and has now set her sights firmly on acting success and has already appeared in the films "Malibu, CA," "Out Cold" and "Boat Trip."
