Maxine Formosa Gruppetta to represent Malta in New Orleans for 71st Miss Universe

Maxine Formosa Gruppetta, who won Miss Universe Malta 2022, is on her way to represent her country for the 71st edition of the Miss Universe competition in the US.

Maxine will be competing in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA and will be donning a costume inspired by the Maltese lira.

The Maltese lira was the official currency of Malta between 1972 and 2008 before it was eventually replaced by the euro.

The costume features a big back piece in the shape of a coin depicting the Maltese coat of arms, which signify the courage and determination of the country.

Maltese fashion designer duo Charles & Ron created the collection piece, depicting the LM10 banknote but digitally manipulated into graphic design. The full costume is then completed with boots by Albano and pieces of jewellery from Carisma Collections.
