She could be the Marilyn Monroe of Switzerland with her platinum hair, rosebud tips and shapely figure. Christa Rigozzi is often referred to as the most successful Miss Switzerland to date. Awarded the title in 2006 at the age of 23, she has starred in numerous advertising campaigns, presented TV shows including Switzerland's Got Talent, and is the face of thermal baths resort Leukerbad.

Silo speaks five languages, enjoys reading and travelling, and has an obvious appetite for success.

How did it feel to be crowned Miss Switzerland in 2006?
