Yvonne Ryding, Miss Universe 1984



The very first Miss Universe that I watched crowned on TV was this beautiful Swedish beauty, Yvonne Ryding. Blonde curls, sparkling smile, hour-glass figure. The perfect blonde beauty.

Blondes are obviously not the flavour of the month in the Miss Universe pageants in the 2000's.



The contestants were so matronly in the 80's and most were on the fleshy side. Looking back, the dresses were a disaster, including the gown worn by the winning Miss Sweden. The most glamourous dress was the blue one belonging to Miss Venezuela. But she didn't carry herself well enough to win. However, that blue dress wouldn't go down well if it was worn in Miss Universe in the 2000's.
