Mariah Carey is getting into the holiday spirit with a festive-themed wax figure that has fans doing a double-take. The iconic singer recently unveiled the figure at Madame Tussauds in New York City, just in time for the holiday season. Fans can now visit the wax figure and experience the magic of Christmas with Mariah Carey.
In a post on Instagram, Carey shared pictures of herself posing with the wax figure, which is a spitting image of the music superstar. The figure is dressed in a ruby red dress, holding a holiday decoration, just like the real Mariah Carey in a sparkly black gown. Madame Tussauds perfectly replicated Carey’s signature golden locks and even included her beauty mark on the chin.
Carey’s 13-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, joined her for the unveiling of the wax figure. The family marveled at the resemblance, with Moroccan saying, “Wow! It’s like I’m looking at you through a mirror.” Carey expressed her approval of the figure, pointing out the attention to detail, such as her favorite dog breed, Jack Russell terriers, and personal touches like nutcrackers.
Fans were quick to praise Madame Tussauds for capturing Carey’s likeness so accurately. Comments on social media ranged from “Daaaaang!! They NAILED IT” to “It looks real! They did a great job!” Carey’s wax figure has been well-received by fans, unlike other controversial wax figures of celebrities like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
The arrival of Mariah Carey’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds in New York has been celebrated by the museum, calling her the “Queen of Christmas” and referring to the figure as Carey’s “wax twin.” The exhibit aims to create an “All I Want for Christmas” experience year-round, with details inspired by Marilyn Monroe and featuring Carey’s own jewelry.
Carey’s fan-approved wax figure is now on display for fans to enjoy and experience the holiday magic with the iconic singer. Visit Madame Tussauds in New York City to see the stunning wax tribute to Mariah Carey and celebrate the festive season in style.
