X-Factor winning sensation Leona Lewis will be entering Madame Tussauds London's famous music zone in October. Since winning the hit reality show in 2006, Leona has been catapulted to international stardom and has sold millions of records across the globe.
Leona is looking forward to seeing the finished figure and commented: “It is such an honour to be asked by Madame Tussauds to join the other wax Music stars; it has been a lifelong dream since I visited the attraction as a child to be immortalised in wax. I now can’t wait to meet my wax double!”
The dress worn by Leona at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics and designed by students at the London College of fashion, has been donated for her wax figure to wear.
She has already given a sitting for the Madame Tussauds studios team, where over 300 measurements and a catalogue of reference shots were taken; the figure will take four months to create and will cost £150,000.
