Step into one of Madame Tussaud’s wax museums and you’ll find yourself surrounded by a whole host of figures created to resemble some of the biggest stars in the world, or that’s the goal anyway. For their latest creation, the facility in New York had hoped to add superstar pop singer Beyonce into the mix, but it appears that the artist missed the mark. To begin with, Beyonce looks, well, white. Also, her face…doesn’t look like Beyonce’s face. Someone noted that it looks more like Lindsay Lohan than it does the Lemonade singer, and you know what, it kind of does.
I thought this was Lindsay Lohan at first glance.

Another person pointed out that the figure appears to be some kind of Frankenstein’s monster amalgamation of Britney Spears, Mariah Carey and Hillary Duff, which, okay, yeah, maybe a little bit.

As it turns out, this isn’t the first time that Tussaud’s has tried to create a Beyonce and come up short.

Needless to say, the Beyhive was not about to stand for these second rate Beyonce’s parading around a wax museums across the world trying to pass themselves off as the real deal.

Madame Tussaud’s hasn’t addressed the backlash in regards to their new Beyonce wax figure, and Bey herself hasn’t said anything because she’s clearly busy raising two newborns and running the world. The best thing for all those involved might be to withdraw this failed doppelgänger as soon as possible and try again. Maybe actually try make her actually look like Beyonce next time.
