Madame Tussauds unveils Zendaya’s 10th wax figure

Posted on January 8, 2026

Wax museum Madame Tussauds has unveiled a wax figure of actress and singer Zendaya in New York.

The museum says that Zendaya’s new figure is inspired by the look she wore to the Dune: Part Two fan event in Mexico City in February 2024.

The most notable addition to the figure is a replica of Zendaya’s engagement ring from fiance, British actor Tom Holland.

The couple met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, but only publicly confirmed their relationship in 2021, despite rumours going back as far as 2017.

News of their engagement broke in January 2025 when Zendaya attended the Golden Globes sporting a massive diamond ring.

This is the 29-year-old actress’s 10th Madame Tussauds figure, according to the museum.

The Spider-Man: No Way Home actress’s first figures were unveiled in 2015 in Orlando and San Francisco.  

She also has figures in London and Dubai.

It took a team of 20 highly skilled artists a year to meticulously craft the figure close to Zendaya’s likeness, the museum says.

“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.
