Beyoncé already has her wax double in the famous Parisian museum Musée Grévin. And she’s not doing too well.
Visitors have long been asking for the music icon to debut his effigy in the famous paris wax museum.
It makes sense: it is one of the most famous female artists in historywith 28 Grammy Awards, and earlier this year released her acclaimed eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter“We were not very convinced, but the general opinion is very favorable to Bey.
And the museum went all out with it. Dressed in a gold bodysuit and sitting cross-legged on a hoop, the highly realistic sculpture of Queen B. took six months for the creative workshop team at the Grévin Museum and the veteran sculptor Claus Velte.
The most impressive thing is that they had to work exclusively from photographsgiven that Usually celebrities come to pose in the flesh.
“Each photo can present a different colorimetry, as well as facial volumes, smiles, non-smiles, heads up or down,” the museum’s press release states.
However, not everyone is impressed by the end result, and It’s not hard to see why. Indeed, although Beyoncé will be admired by the 900,000 annual visitors to the Grévin, the wax statue is already being subject to criticism on two fronts.
First of all, for the alleged excessive “whiteness” of Bey’s skina drawback reminiscent of the controversy that surrounded The Rock last year. The Fast And Furious actor, whose real name is Dwayne Johnson, He even demanded – and obtained – touch-ups on his statuetoo light for your taste.
“Who is that white woman?” asked user X. “They’ve whitewashed Beyoncé,” added another.
Beyoncé has not yet reactedbut the museum noted that depending on the angle of the photo (and lighting), the color may change.
Okay… But that does not explain the lack of resemblance to the singer and the fact that she looks like a haunted version of Shakira. If Shakira had undergone a serious and extensive surgical operation after a strange yacht accident.
“This wax representation of Beyoncé it doesn’t look anything like her” lamented one fan on X, while advising the museum to make some necessary changes.
“She doesn’t try hard, she looks like everyone except Beyoncé. And his nose seems too thin and his skin too white“.
¿Beyoncé will follow The Rock’s example and ask for a touch-up? Is the Musée Grévin losing its touch? Whatever happens, we join the Bey Hive in saying that we are not madly in love with this effigy. What do you think?
