Zendaya has been honoured with a waxwork figure at Madame Tussauds London.
The figure, which was unveiled on Tuesday (February 8), is inspired by her appearance at 2016’s ‘To The Rescue Gala’ red carpet for the Humane Society of the United States.
Tim Waters, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: “Zendaya just exudes cool. Not only that, she uses her celebrity status to join conversations, thoughtfully, on important social issues. She is unapologetically herself – and we, along with her fans, love that about her.
“With rumours circulating that Zendaya is soon to become a Londoner herself, the timing to pay homage to her at Madame Tussauds London could not be better.”
The waxwork has sparked a division among fans, with some struggling to see the resemblance.

Zendaya’s waxwork figure is available to see in Madame Tussaud London’s Awards Party zone from today (11 February).
The actor is best known for playing Rue in HBO’s Euphoria, which was recently renewed for a third season. She’s also starred in Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise, Dune and The Greatest Showman.
In NME’s five-star review, Euphoria’s second season is described as “darker, tougher and more intense than ever” and one that’s “already setting the bar very high for TV in 2022”.
