Beyoncé Gets the Wax Treatment in Sydney—Social Media Weighs In!
Grab your phones and get ready to react, fam! Madame Tussauds Sydney has officially unveiled its latest masterpiece: a wax figure of Beyoncé, modeled to perfection after her stunning look at the 2023 Grammy Awards. And let me tell you, social media is buzzing about it like it’s the hottest gossip in town. Dropping the news via Instagram, Madame Tussauds said, “Mother has ARRIVED!! ???????? Hot off her Album of the Year Grammy win, Beyoncé is ready to party at Madame Tussauds Sydney! ✨????”
While the figure has been met with mixed reactions, it seems like the Beyhive is on the case—supporters and critics alike took to the comments to share their thoughts. Instagram users threw some hilarious shade, with one user comparing the figure to Solange from “Bring It On!” Seriously, the comments section is gold. Some fans chimed in positively, saying things like “This looks amazing” and “Honestly, best one of her yet.” There was even a nod to the possibility that Blue Ivy was involved in the creative process, with one user quipping, “Blue must have been in the meetings this time to make sure they got it right.”
Despite the rib-tickling jokes, it appears Beijing might have finally stepped up their wax figure game. For context, Madame Tussauds has had its fair share of eyebrow-raising celebrity likenesses, and not all have received warm welcomes from fans or critics. Remember the less-than-flattering figures of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that left many scratching their heads? It seems the standard for accurate likeness has significantly shifted over the years, encouraging Madame Tussauds to step up their artistry.
In November, the brand also wowed fans with a holiday-themed wax figure of Mariah Carey at its New York location, showing they know how to bring buzz to their installations. This Beyoncé figure, however, is drawing unique attention because let’s face it, no one does glamour quite like Queen B. So, whether you think the wax figure is serving real Bey vibes or giving you a hint of Solange, one thing is clear—the wax statue is definitely a talking point!
Will this wax masterpiece find a permanent spot in your list of must-sees, or will it end up like many before it—ridiculed and forgotten? Check out the full video on Madame Tussauds Sydney’s Instagram and judge for yourself!
