What is the story about?
Zendaya has recently been celebrated with a 'remarkably lifelike' wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York on Wednesday (January 7). This statue represents
the 10th of her likeness, flawlessly capturing her appearance from the Dune Part 2 press conference red carpet. For those unfamiliar, she first appeared at Madame Tussauds in 2015 in two locations, Orlando and San Francisco, and the latest figure was a 'detailed, year-long endeavor' involving 20 different artists.
Zendaya receives 10th wax figure at Madame Tussauds
Zendaya’s newest wax figure replicates her red carpet attire from a Dune: Part Two fan event that took place in Mexico City in February 2024. The actress donned an all-black two-piece ensemble featuring a thigh-high slit. Notably, the statue also showcases a wedding ring. Although Zendaya was not engaged to Tom Holland at that time and did not wear a ring during the event, Madame Tussauds included a replica of her signature horizontal oval diamond. Check it out:
The new wax figure is now open for fans to visit in NYC.
