ORLANDO, Fla. — A wax figure of actress/singer/producer Selena Gomez has been added to the starry lineup of Madame Tussauds Orlando, an attraction inside Icon Park on International Drive.

The faux Gomez is outfitted in a red beaded floral gown worn to the MTV Video Music Awards in 2023. Tussauds, owned by Merlin Entertainments Group, says a team of 20 studio artists spent more than nine months creating the figure, including meticulous work such as hand-inserting every strand of hair.

“Selena Gomez is an international icon whose talent, style, and authenticity inspires millions around the world,” Paul Gould, general manager of Madame Tussauds Orlando, said in a news release. “We’re thrilled to honor her and welcome fans with this striking new wax figure, capturing one of her most memorable MTV VMA red-carpet looks.”

Gomez is known for hit music (“Come & Get It,” “Bad Liar”), television appearances (“Wizards of Waverly Place,” “Only Murders in the Building”) and business endeavours, including her Rare Beauty cosmetics brand, which propelled her to billionaire status last year.

Among the other celebrities with wax figures currently featured in the Madame Tussauds Orlando attraction are Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Taylor Swift, Angela Bassett, Zendaya, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa and Beyonce.
