Beyoncé’s devoted fans were left scratching their heads as a new wax figure of the iconic singer sparked confusion and backlash among the BeyHive.
The latest wax rendition of Beyoncé was unveiled at the Musee Grevin in Paris, France, drawing inspiration from her dazzling golden ensemble worn at the Atlantis The Royal Grand Reveal Weekend in Dubai back in January 2023. While Beyoncé stunned in a gold custom Dolce & Gabbana gown with a metallic coat at the event, the wax sculpture opted for a silver variation of the look, featuring a plunging neckline bodysuit and a matching long metallic coat.
Displayed on a giant ring suspended from the ceiling, the silver-clad figure failed to impress fans, who flooded the internet with expressions of confusion and disappointment. One fan even mistook the figure for a white woman, highlighting the stark disparity from the real Beyoncé.
In a similar incident earlier this year, the BeyHive raised concerns over a different wax figure of Beyoncé at Madame Tussauds Blackpool Museum, likening it to actress Leah Remini. Responding to the comparison, Leah Remini humorously embraced the mix-up, expressing her delight at being associated with the renowned singer.
As fans clamor for more accurate representations of their idol, the world waits to see if future wax sculptures can capture the true essence of Queen Bey herself.
