Selena Gomez has a wax statue at Madame Tussauds Orlando, as fans say,

"it looks so accurate omg"

Madame Tussauds Orlando has unveiled their new wax figure, and it is of popstar and actress Selena Gomez. The statue is designed to closely resemble the Call Me When You Break Up singer.

The wax studio modeled the figure after her 2023 MTV Video Music Awards look, featuring a deep red cut-out gown. The statue unveiling also comes days before this year’s VMAs, where the singer is nominated for her collaborative work with her fiancé, Benny Blanco — Best Collaboration for “Sunset Blvd” and Video for Good for “Younger And Hotter Than Me.”

Paul Gould, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Orlando, stated, “Selena Gomez is an international icon whose talent, style, and authenticity inspires millions around the world. We’re thrilled to honor her and welcome fans with this striking new wax figure, capturing one of her most memorable MTV VMA red-carpet looks.”

Fans react to Selena Gomez's wax statue

Fans showcased mixed reactions to the statue. While most thought it was quite accurate, some felt her features were exaggerated. Others expressed how creepy these statues altogether are. One user said,

"Wild how the wax figure actually looks more real than Hollywood’s version of her"
"Absolutely! The attention to detail they put into these figures is always mind-blowing. Selena's global influence really shows when she's getting these major honors. Fans are going to love taking photos with this!" another expressed.

However, a user didn't quite like it,

"Why do these wax museums keep making figures that look nothing like the celebs—Selena deserves better than a knock-off mannequin."

A user argued,

"Wax figures are tricky, sometimes they capture legacy more than likeness. For artists like Selena, the real impact isn’t in statues but in how her music keeps defining a generation."

Another stated,

"That’s wonderful! Selena Gomez being honored with a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando is such a well deserved recognition of her talent and influence."

One person also expressed their excitement,

"Wow 😍 The Selena Gomez wax figure looks amazing! Can’t wait to see it in person at Madame Tussauds Orlando ✨"

While a user also commented,

"The first time in history that the wax figure is prettier than the real one, Blanco will marry the wax figure."

Gomez’s statue joins Harry Styles, Lady Gaga, and her best friend Taylor Swift’s statues.
