Beyoncé, a global icon, was always destined to be immortalized in some way, and her wax figures are no exception. Madame Tussauds, famous for creating lifelike wax statues of celebrities, historical figures, and public personalities, has displayed multiple versions of the Houston singer in cities around the world. Locations like Hollywood, New York, Orlando, London, Delhi, and Amsterdam all feature her wax likeness.
The First Statue Reveal: A Mixed Reaction
When Beyoncé’s first wax figure was unveiled in 2004, the singer was present for the occasion. While she appreciated the effort behind the statue, her fans were not as impressed. Looking at the figure now, it’s easy to see why it sparked disappointment, as it didn’t quite capture her likeness. Over the years, other wax figures of the star also missed the mark, with fans humorously pointing out that her statues resembled other celebrities like Leah Remini, Lindsay Lohan, and even her own sister, Solange.
A Turning Point in the Mid-2010s
However, by the mid-2010s, Madame Tussauds began to improve their craftsmanship, and Beyoncé’s wax figures started to resemble her more closely. While the latest statue, inspired by her “Cuff It” era, has received some mixed reviews, it’s certainly an upgrade from earlier versions and shows the progress made over time.
