She may have won the Miss Sweden title in her youth, but Victoria Silvstedt hopes to represent the country once again at Eurovision 2025.
The 50-year-old ’90s model took to the catwalk on Tuesday as the country announced who would advance to the semi-finals.
If the fashionista is successful in her round, she will progress to the final on Saturday, March 8, with the chosen winner representing the country in Basel on May 17.
On Instagram, Victoria said: ‘What a dream come true. I still really don’t understand that I’m going to participate in @melodifestivalen. It’s going to be a lot of fun… but it takes a lot of time and sweat to do it right. I love it!
“See you in Jönköping on March 1.”
Born in Skelleftehamn, Victoria grew up in a family of five in Bollnäs.
Victoria enjoyed a long period in the spotlight after being chosen to represent her country in the Miss World pageant in 1993.
After her pageant days, the Scandinavian beauty was discovered by Hugh Hefner and became a Playboy Playmate.
Since her career skyrocketed, Victoria has modeled for some of the most prestigious fashion houses in the world, including Chanel, Dior and Valentino.
Despite the glamorous veneer of her lifestyle as a young model, she revealed there was a dark side in a recent interview with Female First.

The international singing competition is being held in Switzerland after Swiss singer Nemo took the trophy earlier this year in Malmo, Sweden.
Victoria said: “I started modeling very young in Paris when I was 18, I remember I was starving to put clothes on.”
“It was an incredible experience, but you know, I did shows for Valentino and Chanel, so it was really prestigious.”
The international singing competition is being held in Switzerland after Swiss singer Nemo took the trophy earlier this year in Malmo, Sweden.
The Swiss star, 25, became the first non-binary winner of the contest, after obtaining 365 points with the jury and 226 from the public for a total of 591 with her song The Code.
Four cities were competing to host, including Basel, Bern, Geneva and Zurich, with Geneva and Basel in the bottom two.
The selection also means that 2025 will mark the sixth consecutive year that the competition will not be held in a country’s capital.
The venue, which will be held in the St Jakobshalle stadium, is located in Münchenstein and is regularly used for indoor sports and concerts and has a capacity for 12,400 people.
