Check Out Lady Gaga’s New Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds London

A star has been born at Madame Tussauds London, where a new Lady Gaga wax figure will be available for fans to see starting next month.

The figure’s look is inspired by Gaga’s outfit at the 2022 Grammy Awards, paying homage to this year’s ceremony, where her Hot 100 chart-topping Bruno Mars collaboration, “Die With a Smile,” is nominated for two awards. The superstar’s figure is blowing a kiss while wearing a replica of the classic black-and-white Armani Privé gown that she wore to the ceremony, complete with earrings and a statement necklace.

Lady Gaga’s figure will be feature in Madame Tussauds London’s Awards Party zone, joining the star-studded line up of figures including Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles, Zendaya, Dwayne Johnson, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Lil Nas X.

“Lady Gaga has owned the spotlight for decades across music, fashion and most recently, film, so we wanted to create a show-stopping look to reflect her iconic status and flair for reinvention,” said Steve Blackburn, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, in a press statement. “Inspired by her ability to reimagine herself, we reimagined this brand-new figure fifteen years after we launched her first. In time for this year’s awards season, we wanted the multi-talented superstar to accompany our host of other celebrities in the Awards Party zone. It is here where Little Monsters and other fans across the world can now become ‘Paparazzi’ themselves and join our brand-new Lady Gaga figure on the red carpet.”

The new figure, Gaga’s second at Madame Tussauds London, will be available for fans to see starting on Feb 3., just a day after the 67th annual Grammy Awards.

 

Karol G Receives Two Madame Tussauds Wax Figures: ‘How Impressive!’

Karol G has officially received not one but two of her very own wax figures at the renowned Madame Tussauds wax museum.

The Colombian artist was present at the recent grand reveal in New York City, where she reacted to her two figures: one that captures the Colombian-inspired outfit and signature blue hair that she rocked during her 2022 Coachella performance; the other is one of her looks from the “TQG” music video with Shakira, where she had her striking red locks.

“Wow, how impressive!” Karol said in a press statement. “My first impression was I love my smile, and the color of my eyes […] I hope when my fans meet the figures that it’s a manifestation for them that one day they will meet me.”

The “Bichota” singer—who’s a 17-time finalist at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards and whose “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” has spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart—joins Maluma, Anitta, Selena, Bad Bunny, Shakira and other Latin acts with their own wax figures.

Rihanna Cloned By Madame Tussauds for New Wax Figure in London: See the Photos

Rihanna may now have some trouble feeling like the only girl in the world — or the only her in the world, for that matter — thanks to Madame Tussauds‘ newest wax figure.

As unveiled Wednesday (Sept. 25), the billionaire superstar is the latest celebrity to be cloned for the wax museum’s London location. Striking one of Rih’s signature bada– poses, the duplicate sports recreations of the baby blue dress and Fulani braids the “Umbrella” singer wore at the 2019 British Fashion Awards.

“Rihanna is a powerhouse in beauty, fashion and music, truly shining like a diamond,” said Jo Kinsey, studio manager at Madame Tussauds London, in a statement. “Rihanna holds a special place in everyone’s hearts and now our visitors have the chance to experience her in all of the lights! We’re thrilled to give fans an unforgettable moment with the ultimate boss.”

Trending on Billboard

Fans can view the Fenty mogul’s new figure as soon as Friday (Sept. 27), when the exhibit opens to the public. Though there are certainly many other fellow A-list musicians represented at the museum — Harry Styles, Beyoncé and Lil Nas X, to name a few — Rihanna’s replica will be honored in the Fashion Runway Zone alongside figures of RuPaul, Zendaya and Kendall Jenner.

The installment comes as Rihanna continues to expand her beauty and fashion brands, with the star announcing her new Fenty haircare line in June. She’s also living a busy life as a mom of two young sons, whom she shares with A$AP Rocky: 2-year-old RZA and 1-year-old Riot Rose. In his recent cover story with Billboard, the “F–kin’ Problems” rapper opened up about how parenting is going for the couple — and it involves a lot of Cocomelon.

“That s–t is driving me nuts! Don’t tell my girl I said that,” he joked at the time. “I’m totally joking, I don’t give a s–t. She’s tired of it, too, probably.”

Harry Styles’ Iconic 2022 Coachella Look Immortalized in New Madame Tussauds Wax Figure

You know it’s not the same as it was, but wax figures are forever. Harry Styles‘ iconic 2022 Coachella look has been immortalized forever in a brand new Madame Tussauds wax figure, as revealed by the kitschy museum’s Nashville branch Tuesday (July 16).

The former boy band star’s likeness will be unveiled at the Music City location Friday (July 19), complete with an all-inclusive event at the venue’s entertainment stage featuring “local VIPs,” influencers and “top Harry Styles fans,” according to a release. It’ll be fans’ first opportunity to snap photos with the statue, which sports a detailed replica of the furry pink jacket and strawberry-bedazzled vest the “Watermelon Sugar” singer wore at the second weekend of his headlining Coachella set two years ago.

The wax figure also features multiple pieces of jewelry, plus recreations of the tattoos on Styles’ chest and torso.

Trending on Billboard

“Harry Styles is a global pop superstar, and we are thrilled to reveal this fabulous figure,” said Kelly Field, general manager of Madame Tussauds Nashville, in a statement. “Our museum compliments and completes the Music City visitors’ experience. Guests may get up close and personal with these iconic stars.”

The new pseudo-Harry is far from the first time Styles has been wax-ified by Madame Tussauds. In 2023 alone, he inspired eight figures that were dispersed across the company’s London, New York, Hollywood, Amsterdam, Berlin, Singapore, Sydney and Orlando locations. Years prior, he and his One Direction bandmates were given the treatment in 2014.

“Harry will certainly be a hit among our rockstars, blues, jazz and country music legends,” Field added.

Post Malone Mistakes His New Madame Tussauds Wax Figure For a Real Person: ‘Are You F–king Kidding Me?’

It takes a lot to surprise Post Malone. But the typically unflappable “I Had Some Help” singer seemed genuinely surprised last weekend when he ran into a rather stiff doppelgänger backstage at the Governors Ball festival in New York. In a video posted by Consequence of Sound, Posty is seen making his way backstage after his headlining set when he runs into his new figure that is headed to the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Las Vegas.

Initially thinking it was just another hipster hanging around backstage, Malone walked right by at first, saying “I’m so lost right now,” before turning around and realizing that he was looking at a waxy mirror. “Are you f–king kidding me?” he says with a look of shock as he ducks away. To be fair, the paraffin Post does bear an uncanny resemblance, down to the signature face tattoos, gold teeth, wide smile and beer pong accessories in its hand.

Trending on Billboard

“I literally thought that was a person,” Post says as he grins at the double who is throwing up the devil horn hand sign. “Is this real hair?” he asks. “Who’s hair is it? Mine? That was y’all in my shower?” Malone professes to be “blown away” by the level of detail, down to his diamond-encrusted grill, thanking the Tussauds folks for the “help down there… I appreciate it.”

He then marvels at how they captured his many tattoos perfectly, asking how the detail work is done and wondering if his new bust friend could do his shows for him. “I’d love to catch up on sleep,” says the rapper/singer who famously has the phrase “Always Tired” inked under his eyes. The clip ends with Post putting his arm around the figure and then flipping it off for good measure.

Malone is currently riding high with No. 1 hit with Morgan Wallen (“I Had Some Help”) and his at Gov Ball was larded with his many hits, including “Congratulations,” “Wow,” “Circles” and “Better Now,” among others.

Justin Bieber is a soon-to-be dad, and Madame Tussauds celebrated the exciting news that his wife, Hailey Bieber, is pregnant in a unique way.

The singer’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds London got a new addition on Friday (May 10) — a baby carrier so JB can practice before his baby arrives. A baby doll is seen inside the carrier, and fans can check out Justin’s updated figure in the Impossible Festival zone at the attraction.

The addition to his wax figure comes just a day after the “Love Yourself” singer and Rhode founder took to Instagram to share a series of photos and videos from a film shoot celebrating the renewal of their vows among a meadow, in which Hailey is seen wearing a skin-tight lace gown, cradling her growing baby bump as Justin snaps photos of her. 

The couple officially wed in September 2018 at a New York City courthouse. A year later, they flew down to the Montage Palmetto Bluff hotel in South Carolina with their friends and family for a more traditional wedding ceremony and star-studded party.

Justin Bieber Gets New Madame Tussauds Wax Figure for 30th Birthday: See Photos

Justin Bieber gets his peaches out in Georgia and his wax figures down in Hollywood. In celebration of his 30th birthday on Friday (March 1), Madame Tussauds has unveiled a brand-new life-size replica of the singer.

The statue, which is on display now at the museum’s Hollywood Boulevard location, is modeled after Bieber as he appears in the music video for his 2021 hit “Peaches.” Complete with a white beanie, ombre puffer jacket, neon-pink pants and sneakers, the pop star’s wax clone also features re-creations of his facial hair and neck tattoos.

In photos of the new installation, Bieber’s figure stands next to a blue and purple balloon structure and a large light-up “3” and “0,” signifying the beginning of his new decade of life.

Trending on Billboard

The two-time Grammy winner was first transformed into a Madame Tussauds wax creation when he was just 17, with the museum’s London location unveiling its premier model of Bieber — complete with his signature hair swoop — in 2011. The “Baby” musician was in attendance at the curtain-drop ceremony, as were dozens of screaming young girls.

In 2016, Bieber was again duplicated in wax form, this time posing shirtless at Tussauds’ Las Vegas venue. Wearing nothing but leathery pants and a few pieces of silver jewelry, the Sin City figure allowed fans to get up close and personal with the star’s muscles and body ink.

Bieber’s 30th birthday closes out a decade of success, with the Ontario native releasing three studio albums since turning 20 in 2014 — Purpose (2015), Changes (2020) and Justice (2021), each of which topped the Billboard 200. He’s also scored a whopping eight No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 over the past 10 years, including “Stay” with The Kid LAROI, “Despacito” with Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee, “Sorry,” “Love Yourself,” “What Do You Mean?,” “Peaches” with Daniel Caesar & Giveon and more.

Harry Styles’ 8th Madame Tussauds Wax Figure This Year Has Arrived

Human Harry Styles will continue to age with time, but his new wax figure will stay the same as it was forever.

The Madame Tussauds location in Orlando, Fla., unveiled its model of the 29-year-old pop star Monday (Dec. 18), with the life-size duplicate featuring detailed replications of everything from Styles’ dark curls and freckles to the tattoos inked on his chest. Wax Harry sports a replica of the cream suit jacket, brown pants and sparkly top Real Harry wore to the 2023 Grammys, where the former boyband star took home album of the year for his 2022 record, Harry’s House.

“Harry Styles is one of the most impactful and celebrated artists in the world, so it’s only fitting that fans in Orlando now have the opportunity to meet his newest wax figure up close and personally,” said Paul Gould, general manager of Madame Tussauds Orlando, in a statement. “We’re honored to welcome Harry’s fans and music fans alike to come sing and dance with his figure at our attraction.”

Orlando’s take on the “Late Night Talking” singer is far from Styles’ first wax figure. Earlier this year, seven wax versions of him were unveiled in Madame Tussauds museums across London, New York, Hollywood, Amsterdam, Berlin, Singapore and Sydney. Prior to that, his likeness was built into an installment at Madame Tussauds London alongside his One Direction bandmates Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne — which became a popular mourning site for Directioners following Malik’s departure from the boy band in 2015.

Travis Barker Unveils His Madame Tussauds Wax Figure: ‘It Looks So F–king Real’

Travis Barker is the latest celebrity to be transformed into a wax figure for Madame Tussauds, as unveiled Sunday (Oct. 22) at the museum’s Las Vegas location.

Fitted with clothes donated by Barker himself — including a leather jacket, boots, pants and studded belt — the Blink-182 drummer’s statue looks to be one of Madame Tussauds’ most realistic-looking figures to date. His tattoos were replicated perfectly, as were his dark eyebrows and bright blue eyes.

“I’m honored, I’m flattered, I’m shocked,” the musician said at the unveiling ceremony, where he posed for pictures with his wax twin. “It looks so f–king real.”

Barker’s figure even features some of his signature silver jewelry, including his nose rings, chain necklace and wedding ring, which represents his marriage to Kourtney Kardashian. The Poosh founder — who is currently expecting the couple’s first child together — wasn’t in attendance at her husband’s wax figure debut, but the drummer was spotted showing her his duplicate over FaceTime.

The “All The Small Things” artist later posted some of his own photos with his wax lookalike on Instagram, writing, “Come say hi to my clone @madametussaudsusa.”

According to the press release, Barker worked closely with the Madame Tussauds team of sculptors, colorists, hairdressers and stylists to produce his wax figure, which is now the most-tattooed installment ever created by the museum. Each of his 100-plus tats was closely matched using 3D scanning, with the stenciling and coloring processes taking approximately nine weeks total.

Barker and Kardashian, who both have kids from past relationships, are on their way to becoming parents once again. The couple recently experienced a health scare regarding the pregnancy, which led Blink-182 to postpone a few overseas shows “due to an urgent family matter” as the drummer raced home to be with the reality star as she underwent urgent fetal surgery.

“That experience opened my eyes to a whole new world of pregnancy that I didn’t know about in the past,” Kardashian recalled of the incident in an interview with Vogue. “It was terrifying … I’ve finally been able to let go of the fear and worry that everybody else put in us because of this pregnancy.”

Madame Tussauds Gives New Beyoncé Wax Figure an Edgy Debut in New York

Please do not be alarmed! No, that’s not actually Beyoncé reigning 1,100 feet above New York City, but it is the latest wax figure created in her image from Madame Tussauds! On Thursday (July 27), the new Beychella-inspired Beyoncé wax figure made its debut atop The Edge, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere.

The new likeness features a stunning recreation of Beyoncé’s Nefertiti-evoking ensemble from her historic 2018 Coachella performance, where she became the first Black woman to headline the music and arts festival. The figure wears a replica of Queen Bey’s iconic Balmain bodysuit and cape, along with a cane, a gaudy headpiece, a pair of diamante earrings and an eye-popping statement necklace. Beyoncé’s latest wax figure is the progeny of a team of 20 Madame Tussauds studio artists, sculptors and designers, and the project took six months to complete. Fans will be able to visit the new wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York starting July 27.

Beyoncé’s latest tribute from Madame Tussauds arrives just two days before her Renaissance World Tour graces the tri-state area. The “Break My Soul” singer is set to perform two shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30.

The Renaissance World Tour is currently making its way through its North American leg. The elaborate show pulled in $154 million from its 21-show European leg, the biggest leg of any Beyoncé tour yet. The icon’s latest worldwide trek is in support of her Billboard 200-topping seventh solo studio album, which spawned the Grammy-winning Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits “Break My Soul” (No. 1) and “Cuff It” (No. 6).
