A new wax figure has been unveiled by Madame Tussauds in New York: it is none other than Zendaya herself in an impressively realistic figure. The figure was revealed only days before the 2026 Golden Globe Awards.
This new Zendaya figurine was created based on her appearance at the Dune: Part Two fan event in Mexico City. The figurine exudes a couture impression due to its ostrich-like leather patterns and shiny jewelry. The 10th figurine for actress Zendaya was unveiled at Madame Tussauds. Her initial figurines were displayed in 2015 in Orlando, United States, and San Francisco after hundreds of measurements were taken by artists.
Every figure has been made from clay, layered with multiple coats of oil paint to achieve a glowing skin effect. Like every other figure in the Madame Tussauds collection, Zendaya’s figure took a whole year to make by a team of 20 artists.
“Zendaya has earned her place among today’s most recognizable and respected stars,” Tiago Mogadouro, General Manager at Madame Tussauds New York, said. “This figure is a tribute to her lasting impact on both entertainment and fashion.”
The new statue is currently on display at Madame Tussauds in New York, where visitors can pose alongside Zendaya to capture a picture-perfect tribute to today’s biggest Hollywood star. Visitors can organize their celebrity encounter here.
