Katarina Wigander, born 1983, in Lerum, Sweden. Model and formerly Miss Sweden.

Her winning was controversial in her home country, (in the year of 2004) because she was crowned by Moore Magazine, a magazine for men which publishes pictures for other Swedish "men's" magazines, such as Slitz . The pageant has caused an uproar by many former Miss Sweden-titleholders, disliking the fact that the pictures she made for the pageant was comparable with pornography. Her predecessor, Helena Stenbäck, refused to crown the new winner, who was won by Katarina, because of this case. The supervisor of the pageant, Bingo Rimér, faced no other solution than to drop the pageant from his schedule the following year. The pageant was bought and re-built in 2005 by Panos Papadoupolous, Greek swimsuit producer.
