Rihanna's upcoming Super Bowl performance is already so iconic it has a wax figure

Rihanna hasn't even performed at the Super Bowl yet, and her halftime-show look has already inspired a wax figure.

On Tuesday, Madame Tussauds announced two new wax figures of the singer and business mogul — just in time for Sunday's big game. The statues will feature Rihanna's showstopping ensemble from the 2018 Met Gala and a yet-to-be-revealed costume from her highly anticipated halftime performance.

The first figure — now on display at Madame Tussauds New York in Times Square — is based on Rihanna's 2018 Met Gala outfit: a pearl-and jewel-embellished, seafoam and silver Maison Margiela Artisanal bustier minidress, jacket and open skirt ensemble complete with a bishop's mitre. The statue also features Rihanna's statement jewelry and diamond-encrusted manicure from the event, which advertised a religious "Sunday Best" dress code.
