Despite not winning her country's national title, she was chosen to represent Mexico in the 1999 Miss Internationalpageant, held on 14 December 1999 at Tokyo's U-Port Hall, after winning the Miss Dorian Grey Title. But she resigned to the title. Much has been said that it was a nerve that Lynette remain as Suplente/1st Runner-up, being that she was considered the most beautiful of the 5 finalists to go to one of the two major pageants, so Lynette renounced the title and she was replaced by the 2nd Runner-upGraciela Soto.
