In any profession in this world, you know you’ve made it if the people at Madame Tussauds have noticed you and finally decided to immortalize you with a wax figure. The latest addition to the wax lineup is no stranger to the paparazzi: pop sensation and fashion icon, Rihanna. The “Rude Boy” singer now joins TuPac Shakur, Biggie, Barack Obama, Angelina Jolie and other world-class celebrities in the famed wax museum’s exhibition.
Madame Tussauds’ studio artists duplicated Rihanna after serious observations and studies of hundreds of photographs and videos of her. To make the illusion happen, Rihanna also donated her own Balmain clothes to be worn by the figurine. She wore the outfit during Paris Fashion Week last October. The accessories were added by the museum, which includes a glittering pin on her jacket lapel, a gold and diamond ring, diamond earrings and tennis bracelet.
If you want to see and take photographs with Rihanna’s figurine, go over to Madame Tussauds Washington D.C.’s Glamour Room. Fans who visit the museum from August 31 to September 30 and mention the word “umbrella” will receive a “Buy One Get One Free” admission. Madame Tussauds museum is located at 1001 F St., N.W.
