# Celebrity Body Doubles Wax Figures of the Famous By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-07-06 | Celebs Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reproductions-of-famous-people-celebrity-wax-figures References: [music.aol](http://music.aol.com/photo-galleries/celebrity-wax-figures) Some of these celebrity [wax figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wax-lounge-nyc) are downright spooky because of their resemblance to the real thing. Others are not so good. Take Justin Timberlake's and Shakira's statues, for instance: those reproductions of the two pop idols, in my opinion, are not very realistic. On the other hand, I think [Lenny Kravitz' statue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/queen-elizabeth-ii-1), pouty lips and all, looks realistic and is a very good reproduction of the hunky rocker. I also like Beyonce, Bono, Paris Hilton, Usher and Miley Cyrus. These statues, which are made of wax and fiberglass, come from the [Madame Tussauds Wax Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-museum) which has 7 branches worldwide and 3 in the USA (NYC, Washington DC and Las Vegas). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Celebrity Wax Figures:** The trend of creating increasingly realistic celebrity wax figures presents an opportunity for materials science and 3D printing innovation. - **Virtual Celebrity Replicas:** The growing demand for lifelike celebrity replicas opens up the possibility for virtual reality and AI innovation in creating personalized, interactive experiences. - **Interactive Celebrity Attractions:** As wax museums evolve into more interactive and immersive experiences, there is opportunity for the entertainment industry to create new forms of social engagement. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Materials Science:** Developing new materials and applications for hyper-realistic wax figures could create opportunities in the fashion and apparel industries as well as creative industries like film and television. - **Entertainment:** Increasing the interactivity and immersion of wax museums could provide greater engagement for visitors and create partnerships with technology and media companies. - **Tourism:** Creating unique and immersive attractions through wax museums and other interactive experiences could provide opportunities for the tourism industry to attract and retain customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sausage Roll Wax Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greggs-sausage-roll.md) - [Hyperrealistic Musician Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blitzway-kurt-cobain-figurine.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md) - [Celebrity Face Matchers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrity-twin.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Celebrity-Based Candle Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebritybased-candle-collectible.md) - [Fur-Adorned Celebrity Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doja-cat-1.md) - [Collectible Rapper Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-spice.md) - [Consumer-Inspired Store Mannequins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-store-mannequins.md)
