Zendaya Joins the A-List at Madame Tussauds New York
- Wednesday January 7th 2026
Zendaya’s new figure is inspired by the look she wore to the Dune: Part Two fan event in Mexico City. The couture-style design is accented with ostrich-effect leather detailing, a sleek slit skirt, and sparkling jewelry. This is Zendaya’s 10th Madame Tussauds figure. Her first figures were revealed in 2015 in Orlando and San Francisco following a sitting where studio artists took hundreds of measurements and reference photos.
Each figure is sculpted in clay before multiple layers of oil-based paint are applied to achieve a glowing, natural complexion. As with every Madame Tussauds figure, the artistry behind Zendaya’s likeness comes from a meticulous, year-long process carried out by a team of 20 highly skilled artists. The creation process blends centuries-old craftsmanship with today’s most advanced techniques.
“Zendaya has earned her place among today’s most recognizable and respected stars,” said Tiago Mogadouro, General Manager of Madame Tussauds New York. “This figure is a tribute to her lasting impact on both entertainment and fashion.”
The new figure is now on display at Madame Tussauds New York, where guests can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Zendaya in a glamorous, camera-ready moment that celebrates one of Hollywood’s most influential modern icons.
