Yvonne Agneta Ryding (born 14 December 1962) is a Swedish TV host, dancer, model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Universe 1984 on 9 July 1984. She is the third Swede in history to win the title, and the most recent one.

Early life

She was born to Agneta and Sten Ryding in Eskilstuna, Sweden. Prior to being crowned Miss Sweden and competing in the Miss Universe pageant, Ryding was a Swedish National Lucia Bride, formerly a midfield soccer player, and nurse.

After Miss Universe

Following the year as Miss Universe, Ryding worked within the fashion industry and also did some commission work. In 1988, her homesickness got the upper hand and she moved back to Sweden. In 1989 she presented the Swedish singing competition Melodifestivalen. In 1997, she launched her skincare line originally called Y. Ryding. She was a guest of honor at the Miss Universe 2006 competition, held in Los Angeles, United States.

She is divorced from Swedish actor Kjell Bergqvist, whom she met in Monaco in 1986. The couple has two daughters. In 2007, Ryding competed against eleven other Swedish celebrities in the television dance contest Let's Dance, and was eliminated on 23 February.

She participated in Farmen VIP 2018 which was broadcast on TV4.
