Zendaya’s Madame Tussauds Wax Figure Has Divided Reactions

 

 

On Tuesday, Madame Tussauds London debuted its new Zendaya wax figure, which was inspired by her 2016 appearance on the red carpet of the Humane Society of the United States’ “To The Rescue Gala,” where she wore a bright fuchsia costume.

 

“Zendaya just exudes cool. Not only that, she uses her celebrity status to join conversations, thoughtfully, on important social issues. She is unapologetically herself — and we, along with her fans, love that about her,” Tim Waters, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said in a statement, per Pop Sugar. “With rumours circulating that Zendaya is soon to become a Londoner herself, the timing to pay homage to her at Madame Tussauds London could not be better.”

 

“I see what they’re going for but the proportions of every aspect are a little off,” a user wrote on Twitter.

Another user marveled at the way the figure both did and didn’t hit the mark.

“how does this both look like her and look nothing like her at the same time???” the user wrote.

At least one person felt that Zendaya’s figure looked as if she had taken on a new role.

“Why does Zendaya’s wax figure look like a flight attendant,” the person tweeted.

Another person suggested that the figure looked more like Karen than Zendaya.

“The wax version of Zendaya looks like she wants to speak to the manager,” they wrote.
