Why Zendaya’s New Madame Tussauds Wax Figure Is Polarizing the Internet
Zendaya and Fiancé Tom Holland Have Marvelous Outing at ‘The Traitors: Live’ Experience
Some fans found Zendaya’s new wax figure to be rather challenging.
The Dune: Part Two actress was honored with her 10th Madame Tussauds wax figure at the museum’s New York City location Jan.7, inspired by a custom Bottega Veneta look she wore to a February 2024 fan event for the sci-fi film in Mexico City and completed with a version of her engagement ring from fiancé Tom Holland.
As with all Madame Tussauds creations, the figure was based on hundreds of measurements and reference photos taken of the 29-year-old when she sat for her first figure in 2015. The latest wax figure was sculpted during a meticulous, year-long process by a team of 20 highly skilled artists.
“Zendaya has earned her place among today’s most recognizable and respected stars,” Tiago Mogadouro, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York, shared in a Jan. 7 press release. “This figure is a tribute to her lasting impact on both entertainment and fashion.”
