Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes who served as one of the judges in the recently concluded Miss Universe 2016 pageant held at SM MOA Arena in Pasay, Philippines said Philippines representative Maxine Medina lacked the characteristic to make her stand out among the other 85 candidates.
"She's beautiful, I think she's very classy also. But you know, even though she was home, and she had the crowd supporting her, I think she was lacking something," Lopes said at the red carpet before the pageant's afterparty at Okada Manila.
The first Miss Universe from Angola and a former United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Desertification said she could not pinpoint exactly what Maxine lacked, but whatever it was, Miss France Iris Mittenaere had it.
"I don't know exactly, but there was something missing. And I believe Miss France had what we're looking for," she said.
