Supermodel turned Emmy-winning talk show hostess Tyra Banks has been immortalized with a creepily realistic wax figure at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Washington D.C. Tyra's figure, which was revealed last week, somehow maintains all her fierceness.
Posing with her hands on her hips, Tyra's wax likeness wears a black wrap dress, beige patent leather peep-toe pumps and accessories like gold and black bangle bracelets.
Tyra's wax model is located in the Glamour Room with figures of A-list stars such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Will Smith, George Clooney, Denzel Washington, and Beyonce Knowles.
Take a look at the gallery below for five pictures of the wax model and five of the real Tyra. Can you tell them apart?
