Joining the slew of famous A-listers at the screening, the former beauty pageant star posed up a storm for the cameras.

Victoria enjoyed a lengthy stint in the spotlight after being chosen to represent her country in the Miss World pageant in 1993.

After her pageant days, the Scandinavian stunner was spotted by Hugh Hefner and went on to become a Playboy Playmate.

Since then, she's gone on to model for some of the world's most prestigious fashion houses, including Chanel, Dior and Valentino.

But despite the glamorous appearance of her lifestyle as a young model, she has revealed there was a dark side.

Speaking to Female First, Victoria said: 'I started very young to model in Paris when I was 18, I remember like starving myself to fit into the clothes.

'It was an amazing experience but you know I did shows for Valentino, Chanel, so it was really prestigious.

'But it never felt like it was my thing, I'm not like a runway skinny model, I'm more curvy. It was torture, I put myself through starvation, you know torturing myself.

'To be a young girl as well, you cannot take criticism, everything that you hear is like "no no no" and then I went to Playboy and I could be bigger!'

The Apprentice is a biopic about controversial former US President, Donald Trump, during the early years of his business career.

Trump is played by Sebastian Stan in the film, which follows the divisive figure's movements in the 70s and 80s as he attempts to establish his real estate empire on the back of his father Fred Trump's properties.

The Apprentice is directed by the Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi, who shot the critically acclaimed Persian-language crime thriller Holy Spider, released in 2022.

The movie will also look at Trump's working relationship with disgraced lawyer Roy Cohn, who died of an AIDS-related illness in 1986.

Trump's former mentor, who was later disbarred in 1986 for defrauding a dying client, will be played by Succession star Jeremy Strong.

While Oscar-nominated actress Maria Bakalova plays Trump's late ex-wife Ivana Trump in her younger years.

Variety initially reported that the film's title would be The Student, adding that a logline for the forthcoming film described it as 'an exploration of power and ambition set in a world of corruption and deceit.

'It's a mentor-protégé story that charts the origins of an American dynasty. Filled with larger than life characters, it reveals the moral and human cost of a culture defined by winners and losers.'

The screenplay for the film was written by Gabriel Sherman, who authored the 2014 book The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News – and Divided a Country.

The book was subsequently adapted into the 2019 Showtime miniseries The Loudest Voice.

Trump has been spoofed for decades on NBC's Saturday Night Live, with actors including Alec Baldwin, Darrell Hammond, Jason Sudeikis, Taran Killam and the late Phil Hartman playing the role at different points.

The former US President remains battling multiple legal cases in multiple states as he remains the favorite to garner the Republican presidential nomination next year.
