Lopes said that she has never had cosmetic surgery and confessed her tips for beauty were to use sun block often; get a lot of sleep; and drink lots of water.
Now the winner says that she has work to do and she can do much more after winning the competition. "I think now as Miss Universe I will be able to do much more."
Leila Lopes hopes to assist people in Angola and said she plans to fight against HIV around the globe. The Angolan model also said she is going to work with “humility and keep my feet on the ground.”
"I've worked with various social causes. I work with poor kids, I work in the fight against HIV. I work to protect the elderly and I have to do everything that my country needs," she said.
Miss Angola captivated the crowd not only with her beauty but with her responsible and humble way of life. “She captivated the crowd and we were all behind her," said Brazilian Natalie Bursztyn, 20, who was in the audience inside Credicard Hall.
"It was great that the judges also saw what the fans saw and gave her the crown. Her dress was beautiful and she knew exactly what to say when they asked her the question about her looks," added Bursztyn.
With Leila Lopes’ win, the Republic of Angola won Africa’s third Miss Universe title.
