A brief to Madame Tussauds London's remarkable debut waxwork of Rihanna
On Wednesday, Madame Tussauds London announced the new wax figure of global icon Rihanna. The wax figure is inspired by the Barbadian-born singer's 2019 look from the British Fashion Awards. The singer opted for a custom mint-green Fenty dress with a semi-sheer cape and matching gloves. She paired the look with a chunky diamond necklace, minimal earrings, and her signature Fulani braids.
Rihanna's look was meticulously replicated for the new wax figure. Jo Kinsey, Studio Manager at Madame Tussauds, stated that the Barbadian-born singer is a "powerhouse" in the beauty world, and her standout appearance at the 2019 British Fashion Awards made a lasting impression, per Madame Tussauds.
They had to recreate that look to preserve it for fans to admire, Kinsey explained, emphasizing the significance of capturing such an iconic moment in the star's fashion history:
"Rihanna is a powerhouse in beauty, fashion and music, truly shining like a Diamond. Her look at the 2019 British Fashion Awards made such a statement that we just had to replicate that unforgettable moment," Kinsey said.
Kinsey further noted that the Barbadian-born singer has a special place in everyone's heart, and Madame Tussauds London is more than excited to let her fans experience the unforgettable moment:
"Rihanna holds a special place in everyone's hearts, and now our visitors have the chance to experience her in all of the lights! We're thrilled to give fans an unforgettable moment with the ultimate boss," Kinsey added.
According to Madame Tussauds, the wax figure of the Barbadian-born singer will be available for fans to view starting on Friday, September 27, 2024. The wax figure will be featured in Madame Tussauds' Fashion Runway Zone, which also features Harry Styles, Victoria Beckham, David Beckham, Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, and Zendaya.
