Beyoncé finally has a lifelike wax figure, and it took its rightful place among royalty
Okay, people. It’s finally been done. Madame Tussauds has officially created the best wax figure of Beyoncé, so everyone else can pack up and move on. In fact, the figure is so incredibly accurate, it’s hard for us to believe that we’re not being punked. What if Madame Tussauds actually just cloned Beyoncé and froze her clone in this power stance? Yes, it’s a dark thought—but you’ll understand why we have to wonder once you see what they’ve created.
This time around, Beyoncé’s wax likeness is clad in her 2018 Coachella outfit: cropped yellow sweatshirt, cutoff shorts, and those incredible iridescent fringed boots. She’s locked in her classic “bow down, bitches” stance, and the only thing that’s missing from this display is the wind machine.
“It’s time to bow down to THE QUEEN,” Madame Tussauds captioned its September 19th reveal Instagram post.
The figure is uncanny in the best way possible.
And yes, Madame Tussauds rightfully placed Queen Bey among her peers, knocking Queen Elizabeth from her throne (just for the day).
"Beyoncé is a living legend, rightly crowned Queen Bey by her legions of fans and industry insiders," Steve Davies, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said, per USA Today. "If anyone is fitting of a claim to The Queen’s spot in our attraction for the very first time, it’s Beyoncé."
Obviously, this isn’t the first time Beyoncé has been immortalized in wax. This version, however, is by far the best wax Bey we’ve ever seen.
In 2017, Madame Tussauds tried to update its Beyoncé figure, but she ended up looking more like a mashup between Lindsay Lohan and Shakira.

And weirdly enough, that wasn’t even the worse Beyoncé wax figure to grace the Earth—far from it, actually.

Sure, there has been a fine, even good, attempt.
But let’s all agree that this latest version of wax Beyoncé is the best, and everyone else can (and should) stop trying.

We will gladly bow down to this wax queen.
