PMOY for 1997
After being approached 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. She has been featured in countless magazines, including GQ, MAXIM, FHM, GEAR and Nuts, where in 2005 she came second to actress Jennifer Ellison in a competition to find the Sexiest Blonde in the World.
Away from Playboy
Like many Glamour models and Playmates before her, she is trying to branch out into acting and business. Silvstedt claims her favorite hobby is singing, and in 2001 she recorded an album called Girl On the Run, published by EMI, which went gold in Sweden with the hit singles, “Hello, Hey” and “Rocksteady love”.
Silvstedt was already well recognized 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. She has been in the American TV shows Melrose Place, MTV’s “The Real World,” and has worked a lot for the Italian TV hosting several tv shows. She currently cohosts La Roue de la Fortune, the French version of Wheel of Fortune on TF1, alongside Christophe Dechavanne.


Victoria made guest appearances in the Hollywood motion pictures: Boat Trip, The Independent, BASEketball, and “Out Cold;” where she played up to her Swedish-Blonde “Inga” character. Silvstedt is now acting in lead roles in European films mainly based in Italy, and taking to the stage in North America.
Silvstedt became a spokesmodel for Guess? Jeans, following in the footsteps of former Guess models, Eva Herzigova, Anna Nicole Smith, and Shana Zadrick. In February 2006 she launched her own lingerie range during London Fashion Week.
She is casted to play the female lead in Carry On London.
