Described in the release as “stunningly realistic,” the statue depicts the singer-actress in a black two-piece gown, modeled after the one she wore at a Dune: Part Two fan event in Mexico City in February 2024. And though Zendaya was not yet engaged to Tom Holland at the time of that event, Madame Tussauds went ahead and added a recreation of her horizontal oval diamond ring to the figure.
“Zendaya has earned her place among today’s most recognizable and respected stars,” said Tiago Mogadouro, general manager of Madame Tussauds New York. “This figure is a tribute to her lasting impact on both entertainment and fashion.”
The tribute comes more than a decade after Zendaya first helped the museum unveil two wax clones of herself in 2015. One of the initial figures — for which the Golden Globe winner personally sat for hundreds of measurements — went on display in San Francisco, while the other went to Madame Tussauds Orlando.
“This is a major, major honor and it’s so cool to have it in the Bay, where I’m from,” she said in a statement at the time. “This is the best trip ever. I get to be home and be with my people … and also my twins!”
In 2026, Zendaya has a lot of exciting projects coming up, including the highly anticipated, long-awaited third season of Euphoria. In addition to starring in the show, the Disney Channel alum collaborated with Labrinth to contribute original music to the drama’s second season in 2022.
Zendaya also stars alongside Robert Pattinson in Kristoffer Borgli’s The Drama, which is set to arrive in April, and she will play Athena in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, coming in July.
The latest figure is now available for fans to visit in NYC. See photos of the new Zendaya wax statue below.
