Madame Tussauds London unveiled its new Zendaya wax figure Tuesday, which is inspired by her 2016 appearance at the Humane Society of the United States’ “To The Rescue Gala” red carpet where she wore a bright fuchsia suit.  

“Zendaya just exudes cool. Not only that, she uses her celebrity status to join conversations, thoughtfully, on important social issues. She is unapologetically herself — and we, along with her fans, love that about her,” Tim Waters, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said in a statement, per Pop Sugar. “With rumours 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.” 

Let’s take a look. 

Some think Madame Tussauds London did a good job, others believe they missed the mark. A few think she’s giving off this vibe of someone entirely different. In 2015, Zendaya visited the Madame Tussauds in San Francisco to see her two different wax figures, and she seemed to be impressed by the final result.
