Beyoncé's Wax Figure Gets a Glow Up

Waxyoncé 2: Waxyoncé Returns—and this time, she’s recognizable.

Two years ago, wax figure and Beyoncé enthusiasts alike rejoiced when a light-skinned, deeply disturbing statue rendering of the singer was removed from Manhattan’s Madame Tussauds. Turns out, they were just swapping out the lighting, and if you wanted to see it, you still can. (Please don’t.) But if you want to see a wax Beyoncé that actually looks like the singer, you’ll need to travel to Madame Tussauds’ original location in London, where they just unveiled the perfect specimen you see above this paragraph.
