'Beyoncé reigning 1,100 feet above New York City': Madame Tussauds unveils spectacular wax figure

Let's get one thing straight - that's not actually Beyoncé Knowles-Carter reigning supreme 1,100 feet above New York City. However, it is the latest phenomenal wax figure crafted in her likeness by Madame Tussauds New York, which debuted on Thursday, July 27. This new Beychella-inspired statue is now gracing The Edge, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere.

A Grand Tribute to a Grand Diva

The remarkable new likeness celebrates Beyoncé’s groundbreaking 2018 Coachella performance, where she made history as the first Black woman to headline the music and arts festival. The wax figure pays homage to Queen Bey's Nefertiti-inspired ensemble, donning a replicated version of the iconic Balmain bodysuit and cape, an ostentatious headpiece, a pair of shimmering diamante earrings, and a statement necklace that truly pops.

This impressive wax tribute to Beyoncé, the culmination of six months of diligent work by a team of 20 Madame Tussauds artists, sculptors, and designers, is ready to welcome fans at Madame Tussauds New York from July 27 onwards.

Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour Marches On

Beyoncé's latest honor from Madame Tussauds comes just a couple of days before her Renaissance World Tour wows the tri-state area. The "Break My Soul" singer is slated to perform two shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 29 and July 30.

Presently in the North American leg, the Renaissance World Tour has already garnered a whopping $154 million from its 21-show European leg, making it the most lucrative leg of any Beyoncé tour to date. This grand tour, supported by the icon's Billboard 200-topping seventh solo studio album, has already given us Grammy-winning Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits "Break My Soul" (No. 1) and "Cuff It" (No. 6).

So while you may not spot the real Beyoncé towering over New York City anytime soon, you can certainly pay homage to her at Madame Tussauds and enjoy the superstar's stunning wax doppleganger, perched on high.
