Alright Beyhive get ready to sound off because there's a new Beyoncé wax figure in town and let's just say it's causing a stir. Madame Tussauds Orlando just dropped their latest Queen Bey statue but fans online are not exactly bowing down . In fact some are straight up asking "Who is THAT?".
Cowboy Carter Gone Wrong? Fans Say New Beyoncé Wax Figure Misses the Mark Big Time
This wax figure is supposed to be all about Beyoncé's current "Cowboy Carter" era you know the whole Western vibe from her latest music. They dressed the statue in a denim jacket denim shorts a Willie Nelson t-shirt and even gave her platinum blonde hair under a black cowboy hat. Boots with an American flag design completed the look. Madame Tussauds even put out an Instagram post saying "This ain't Texas... but Beyoncé just arrived in Orlando!"
Sounds cool right? Well the internet is not so sure. A lot of fans are looking at this wax figure and scratching their heads. Many are saying it just does not capture Beyoncé's iconic look at all. Some are even joking that it looks more like other celebs. Victoria Monet's name is getting thrown around. Lil Mama too. Ouch.
People are pointing out all sorts of things. "Something not right" one fan wrote. Another asked "Why they gave her tired eyes?". Someone else straight up said "She looks like Lil Mama." Ouch again! And it's not just the face. Some people are commenting on other details like "Them hips look a mess." It seems like this wax figure is not exactly hitting the "flawless" notes we expect from anything related to Beyoncé.
Wax Figure Fails: Beyoncé's History with Madame Tussauds Is a Bit of a Rollercoaster
This is not Beyoncé's first rodeo with wax figures. She has been immortalized in wax before. There's even one in London rocking her famous "Formation" outfit from Coachella. But let's be real Beyoncé's wax figure history is a mixed bag. Some have been... less than flattering. Remember that one from way back that people said looked like a "drunk version" of Bey? Or the ones from 2008 and 2009 that fans thought were even worse?
Madame Tussauds has definitely had some hits too though. They have created figures that were praised for being much more accurate especially starting around 2014 and onwards. Some of the later figures in 2017 and 2019 actually got good reviews. Maybe this new "Cowboy Carter" one is just a step back in the wax figure evolution or maybe beauty really is in the eye of the beholder or in this case the beholder on Twitter.
Meanwhile Back in the Real World: Beyoncé and Jay-Z Reportedly Considering Action Against Kanye West
While the internet debates wax figures Beyoncé and Jay-Z are dealing with some real drama. Word is they are not happy with Kanye West right now. Apparently Kanye made some social media posts about their twins Rumi and Sir and it was not good. Sources are saying Beyoncé and Jay-Z are exploring their options maybe even legal action.
Kanye's posts reportedly questioned the "mental capacities" of the twins using some pretty harsh language. Insiders told Page Six that Bey and Jay are "discussing how they want to handle this situation whether that be privately and/or in a legal matter." They are reportedly "appalled" and "will absolutely not stand for" Kanye talking about their kids like that. Even though Kanye took down the offensive post the damage might be done.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are known for being private especially when it comes to their twins. Blue Ivy has been in the public eye more but Rumi and Sir have mostly stayed out of the spotlight. Given all the negativity Blue Ivy has faced it makes sense that they would want to protect their younger children even more. So yeah while the internet is busy roasting a wax figure Beyoncé and Jay-Z are dealing with some serious family stuff behind the scenes.
