It is always an exciting feat when a personality is celebrated through a Madame Tussauds wax figure. However, for Zendaya, that feat is now a milestone as the Hollywood actress was recently honored with her tenth wax figure.
For Zendaya's latest statue, Madame Tussauds went back in 2024 and chose one of the her touring looks for Dune: Part Two. More specifically, they went for the custom Bottega Veneta ensemble she wore to a red carpet event in Mexico City.

"Zendaya has earned her place among today’s most recognizable and respected stars,” said Tiago Mogadouro, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York. Unfortunately, following the unveiling of the wax figure, people were quick to share their opinions on the accuracy—or lack thereof—of the statue.
A lot of people find the wax figure off, even liking Zendaya to a "Yiddish aunt in her prime." One user on X called out Madame Tussauds, saying that they did the actress dirty, while another feels as if the statue aged her.
On the other hand, some of the netizens are praising the wax figure, saying that Madame Tussauds actually nailed this particular statue of Zendaya. One user even said that she thought the figure was the actress herself!
