Beyonce's Madame Tussauds Statue Is Making Headlines For The Wrong Reasons

Ladies and gents, we have another case of unrecognizable celeb waxwork, as per Madame Tussauds New York's unveiling of their new Beyoncé statue and the BeyHive is going nuts.
Despite unveiling the pop titan last Wednesday (July 12), Madame Tussauds' photo of Bey is making the rounds because of the lack of resemblance to the new mother of twins. We don't know whether to start with the statue's hair, white-washed skin tone or facial features, but we'll let the Twitterverse do the talking on that front.
Still, if you do wanna see what the wax figure of "Beyoncé" looks like in-person, head over to the Big Apple location before she leaves in September. Click here for more info.
@Beyonce is back and "Running the 🌎" here in @nycwax! Be sure to come by and see her before she leaves in September! #FamousFun pic.twitter.com/y7L1x5KtqS

It's been clear for years that @MadameTussauds uses very few (if any) Black sculptors. More evidence: https://t.co/OVFLUp3dQQ
