Beyoncé’s New Madame Tussauds Waxwork Sparks Outrage Among Fans
Madame Tussauds has recently unveiled a new waxwork of Beyoncé, but it hasn’t exactly received a warm welcome from her fanbase, the Beyhive. The statue, which debuted in Orlando, Florida, on March 22, was designed to represent the singer’s look from her latest album Cowboy Carter. However, many fans are questioning whether the wax figure truly captures the essence of Queen Bey.
The Controversial Waxwork
The statue features Beyoncé dressed in a white shirt, a denim jacket, a Stars and Stripes vest, and a black cowboy hat an ensemble inspired by her recent musical era. Madame Tussauds Orlando shared the figure’s unveiling on Instagram, writing, “This ain’t Texas… but Beyoncé just arrived in Orlando! .” While this description was meant to be playful, fans were quick to voice their concerns about the accuracy of the figure.
The Internet Reacts: Confusion and Criticism
The waxwork has quickly become the subject of widespread criticism, especially on social media platforms. Many users on Instagram expressed confusion over its likeness to the superstar. One fan commented, “Why she look like Lil Mama?” referring to the American rapper, while others shared memes and GIFs of Beyoncé’s Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland frowning. Despite these negative reactions, a few fans defended the waxwork, claiming it was one of the more accurate representations of the singer.
Fans Demand Madame Tussauds Stop Attempting Beyoncé
The backlash didn’t end there. On X (formerly Twitter), fans were even more savage in their responses. One user commented, “At this point, just stop trying because every wax figure they release, it never looks 100% like Beyoncé.” Another fan added, “None of them looked exactly right.” This sentiment was echoed by many others who felt that Madame Tussauds had yet to create a satisfactory wax figure of Beyoncé.
Some See a Different Side
Not all feedback was negative, however. A few users expressed their approval of the waxwork, calling it one of the best depictions of the singer to date. A Nicki Minaj fan account wrote, “One of the very few wax figures that actually look good! Tho I’m not shocked since it’s of the queen!!!!”
The Waxwork’s Uncertain Likeness
Some fans even suggested that the figure resembled not just Beyoncé but also American singer Victoria Monét. The resemblance was enough to spark further debate about whether the waxwork truly captured Beyoncé’s likeness. Even glasses company Specsavers chimed in with a simple question mark, further amplifying the mystery surrounding the statue’s accuracy.
In the end, the waxwork’s unveiling has led to more questions than answers about whether Madame Tussauds can ever truly replicate Beyoncé’s iconic look.
