Madame Tussauds Zendaya Wax Figure Blasted
Other wax figures, however, have not received the same kind of acceptance as Dua Lipa’s piece. One figure, in particular, got a lot of backlash after it made its debut.
Zendaya had a wax figure debut at Madame Tussauds London in 2022, which received immediate backlash online, with some fans claiming the figure looked more like Kylie Jenner than Zendaya.
Following the hate, the museum released a statement, claiming, “Our talented artists created our new Zendaya figure using measurements and references taken during her 2015 sitting … We understand that when fans are incredibly passionate they might feel differently, until they have had the chance to see it up close.”

Dua Lipa’s Third Album To Be Released In 2024
She has been working on this project since 2021 and has written 97 songs, so narrowing down the songs to feature on the album was a bit difficult.
“I started writing for this album in 2021, and I just wanted to write my ideas down,” she said on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “So, I went down to CVS, and I just bought a random notebook. Had I have known how important that book would’ve been, maybe I would’ve gotten a more fancy one.”
“It’s got every single song I’ve written for this album,” she said, adding, “I wrote 97 songs.”
Dua Lipa’s wax figure can be seen at Madame Tussauds Orlando in Florida along with Harry Styles, Walt Disney, Pitbull, Neil Armstrong, Bad Bunny, Lil Nas X, Superman, Aquaman, and more.
