Beyonce fans are not holding back when it comes to criticizing her latest wax figure at Musée Grévin in Paris. The Madame Tussauds of Paris has come under fire for creating a statue that fans are having trouble recognizing as the queen herself.
While Beyonce has faced criticism in the past for conforming to Eurocentric beauty standards, fans are now questioning why her wax figure has been whitewashed. Comments on Instagram range from disbelief to disappointment, with one fan asking, “WHY IS SHE WHITE?” and another demanding in French, “How do I say horrible job and start over?”
It seems that the museum may have missed the mark on capturing Beyonce’s true essence, as fans continue to point out the unrecognizable features on the statue. One user simply stated, “Nope nope not Beyoncé,” while another urged the museum to “do better.”
This is not the first time Beyonce’s wax figure has faced backlash, as a similar situation occurred in 2017 when her statue was unveiled at Madame Tussauds New York. The museum has since defended their artistic process, citing lighting and photography as potential factors in misrepresenting the color of the wax figure.
Regardless, it seems that Beyonce’s fans are not willing to let this one slide. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
