Rihanna Cloned By Madame Tussauds for New Wax Figure in London: See the Photos
Rihanna may now have some trouble feeling like the only girl in the world — or the only her in the world, for that matter — thanks to Madame Tussauds’ newest wax figure.
As unveiled Wednesday (Sept. 25), the billionaire superstar is the latest celebrity to be cloned for the wax museum’s London location. Striking one of Rih’s signature bada– poses, the duplicate sports recreations of the baby blue dress and Fulani braids the “Umbrella” singer wore at the 2019 British Fashion Awards.
“Rihanna is a powerhouse in beauty, fashion and music, truly shining like a diamond,” said Jo Kinsey, studio manager at Madame Tussauds London, in a statement. “Rihanna holds a special place in everyone’s hearts and now our visitors have the chance to experience her in all of the lights! We’re thrilled to give fans an unforgettable moment with the ultimate boss.”
Fans can view the Fenty mogul’s new figure as soon as Friday (Sept. 27), when the exhibit opens to the public. Though there are certainly many other fellow A-list musicians represented at the museum — Harry Styles, Beyoncé and Lil Nas X, to name a few — Rihanna’s replica will be honored in the Fashion Runway Zone alongside figures of RuPaul, Zendaya and Kendall Jenner.
The installment comes as Rihanna continues to expand her beauty and fashion brands, with the star announcing her new Fenty haircare line in June. She’s also living a busy life as a mom of two young sons, whom she shares with A$AP Rocky: 2-year-old RZA and 1-year-old Riot Rose. In his recent cover story with Billboard, the “F–kin’ Problems” rapper opened up about how parenting is going for the couple — and it involves a lot of Cocomelon.
“That s–t is driving me nuts! Don’t tell my girl I said that,” he joked at the time. “I’m totally joking, I don’t give a s–t. She’s tired of it, too, probably.”
