Madame Tussauds London has unveiled a stunning new Rihanna waxwork.
The Barbadian-born singer’s likeness has been captured perfectly for the Baker Street attraction’s latest installation.
It has been inspired by her “effortless style and trailblazing influence that continues to grab the spotlight”.
The life-like statue has been dressed in homage to the custom Fenty mint dress the 36-year-old wore to the British Fashion Awards in 2019.
The Fenty Beauty entrepreneur’s look is complete with her signature Fulani braids and matching organza shirt and gloves, capturing the boldness that turned heads on that unforgettable red-carpet appearance.

The one-of-a-kind cocktail dress also gripped the attention of the singer’s partner and father of her two children apper A$AP Rocky, who declared in a GQ interview alongside Rihanna that this look is his all-time favourite.
Jo Kinsey, Studio Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: "Rihanna is a powerhouse in beauty, fashion and music, truly shining like a Diamond. Her look at the 2019 British Fashion Awards made such a statement that we just had to replicate that unforgettable moment!
“Rihanna holds a special place in everyone’s hearts and now our visitors have the chance to experience her in All of the Lights! We’re thrilled to give fans an unforgettable moment with the ultimate boss.”
The Rihanna figure will be available for fans to see on Friday September 27.
She will feature in Madame Tussauds London’s Fashion Runway Zone, joining icons who have made a mark in fashion such as RuPaul, Zendaya, and Kendall Jenner.

Incredibly, Madame Tussauds has been welcoming members of the public since 1835, when French wax sculptor Marie Tussaud and her sons established a base at "The Baker Street Bazaar".
Ms Tussaud’s original vision featured wax figures of notable individuals and the infamous Chamber of Horrors. The exhibition included victims of the French Revolution and newly created figures of murderers and criminals, alongside famous historical figures.
Since then, it became a patch of honour to have your own waxwork and currently houses 150 figures including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, King Charles and Queen Camilla to name a few.
To get a taste of what London was like back in the day, visitors can even hop on board an iconic black cab for the Spirit of London ride and discover the historical and cultural events that have shaped the captial into one of the greatest cities in the world.
