Not everyone is happy about Zendaya’s latest Madame Tussauds London wax figure.
This February, Madame Tussauds London announced a new statue of the Emmy winner and Euphoria star would have a permanent home at its location. The figure features Zendaya with a slicked-back bun, wearing a pink satin pantsuit she once wore to the Humane Society’s 2017 To The Rescue! Gala.
“Zendaya just exudes cool. Not only that, she uses her celebrity status to join conversations, thoughtfully, on important social issues,” Tim Waters, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, told POPSUGAR. “She is unapologetically herself — and we, along with her fans, love that about her.”
He added, “With rumors circulating that Zendaya is soon to become a Londoner herself, the timing to pay homage to her at Madame Tussauds London could not be better.”
“From cinema screens to tv screens, to buying a home in London, Zendaya is EVERYWHERE right now… And from Friday, her figure will be at Madame Tussauds London too,” the company said on Instagram.
But fans aren’t happy with how Madame Tussauds rendered the wax figure (and it’s not as though Madame Tussauds hasn’t gotten it wrong before). In the original photo, Zendaya has a slight smirk. In the statue, she has an unnatural pout.
“Out of all Zendaya’s looks, they picked this one…,” @gigiparadisco said in a tweet.
“It’s not the outfit that’s the problem. It’s that they messed up her lips. Why she looks pouty-faced? That is not portrayed in the original photo,” the user @americanQ replied.
“Why does Zendaya’s wax figure look like a flight attendant?” @nabielah_smada joked in a tweet.
“They turned Zendaya into Kylie Jenner at Madame Tussauds London unveil of her wax figure,” @DanielNewman said on Twitter.
“Madame Tussauds London Zendaya wax figure is off…also why did they purse her lips like that…it’s giving attitude,” @sagesurge wondered in a tweet.
