She’s one of the hottest artists on the planet at the moment, and Megan Thee Stallion’s momentum continues unabated in Las Vegas, with the unveiling of a wax likeness at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.
The three-time Grammy winner, with hits like “Big Ole Freak,” “Hot Girl Summer” and “Body,” not to mention “Savage (Remix)” and “WAP” (which both hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100), has now been immortalized with a newsprint catsuit and matching cowboy hat with fingerless gloves (the outfit was inspired by a photo shoot to promote her album Good News).
It’s actually one of two wax figures—one was also unveiled at Madame Tussauds New York, and features the performer posed on her side, laying down in a diamante bikini and matching cowboy hat, gauntlets and choker.
It took a team of 20 artists six months to create the two figures, which included capturing more than 200 measurements and matching colors for her eyes, hair and skin. Ten layers of oil-based paints were applied, and real human hair was applied, including eyebrows and eyelashes.
The honor was not lost on the superstar. “I feel like people always ask me when was the moment you knew you were famous? This is the moment!” she said in a prepared statement. “There are two versions of me in the most famous wax museum on the planet. Like who am I?!? Them!”
