New Figures Featured at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas and New York
Three-time, GRAMMY award-winning artist, philanthropist and entrepreneur Megan Thee Stallion has officially welcomed her two wax figures at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas and Madame Tussauds New York.
Extra, extra read all about it because her latest figure in Vegas is savage in a fierce newsprint catsuit and matching cowboy hat with fingerless gloves. The outfit was inspired by her photoshoot that promoted her critically-acclaimed album, Good News.
Megan’s New York figure bodied that, ate it up and gave it back, as she’s posed on her side laying down in a donated diamante bikini and matching cowboy hat, gauntlets and choker. The new figures were revealed at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas on a colorful and interactive set featuring a magical, metallic 10-foot stallion.
“I feel like people always ask me when was the moment you knew you were famous? This is the moment!,” said Megan Thee Stallion. “There are two versions of me in the most famous wax museum on the planet. Like who am I?!? Them!”
Hailing from Houston, Megan Thee Stallion has earned two Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits with the “Savage (Remix)” featuring Beyoncé, and “WAP” with Cardi B and delivered additional iconic hits, such as “Big Ole Freak,” “Hot Girl Summer”, “Body,” and “Thot Shit,” among others. Most recently, she released her dynamic album “Traumazine” in August 2022.
Over the course of her illustrious career, Megan has been recognized for her musical achievements, including three GRAMMY wins, nine BET Awards and back-to-back Billboard Music Awards for “Top Rap Female Artist.” Additionally, she has been honored for her advocacy efforts, having received the 2022 Special Achievement Award at The Webby Awards and the Trailblazer Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Megan made history in Nov. 2022, becoming the first Black woman to appear on the cover of Forbes’ prestigious Under 30 issue.
“We couldn’t have hoped for more ‘Good News’ than the addition of not one but two Megan Thee Stallion wax figures into our Las Vegas and New York attractions,” said Madame Tussauds Head of Marketing, Matthew Clarkson. “Everybody here at Madame Tussauds loves her music, confidence, style and star power which serves as an inspiration to so many.”
A team of about 20 skilled artists took approximately six months to recreate Megan’s likeness in each of her new wax figures. At the sitting, more than 200 measurements were captured to ensure 100% accuracy. Her eyes, hair and skin were also color-matched from samples. Then, 10 layers of oil-based paints were applied to the figures to create realistic skin tones. In fact, real human hair was individually inserted into the wax including the eyebrows and eyelashes. The hair was then cut and styled to match the desired look.
Megan’s figures will be available to the public exclusively at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas on May 20 and Madame Tussauds New York beginning June 1.
