Her winning was controversial in her home country, as she was crowned by ''[[Moore Magazine]]'', a magazine for men which publishes pictures for other [[Sweden|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 [[Panagiotis Papadopoulos|Panos Papadoupolous]], [[Greeks|Greek]] swimsuit producer.

Born1983 (age 41–42)

Katarina Agnes Wigander (born 1983 in Lerum, Västergötland) is a Swedish model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Sweden 2004 and represented her country at Miss Universe 2004.[1]

Her victory in the beauty pageant was controversial in her home country, as she was crowned by Moore Magazine, a magazine for men that publishes pictures for other Swedish "men's" magazines, such as Slitz.[2] In 2004, Moore Magazine and Bingo Rimér managed to take over the crowning after the old arrangers had stopped holding the pageant after 2003. Wigander was the only Miss Sweden to be crowned under this regime, as there was no 2005 Miss Sweden, and "New Miss Sweden" was staged in 2006. For this reason, her title is sometimes said to be "unofficial".
