It took forever and a day, but someone finally produced an accurate Beyoncé wax figure.
Madame Tussauds London unveiled its new statue of Beyoncé on Thursday, according to HuffPost.
Waxyoncé slays, all day.

The statue is wearing a replica of her yellow Beychella hoodie, shorts and iridescent fringe boots.
As Buzzfeed pointed out, Madame Tussauds previously made several terrible Beyoncé figures.
New York’s figure, sculpted in 2017, looked less like Queen Bey and more like Lindsay Lohan with an upgraded weave.

Madame Tussauds London marked their accomplishment by placing Bey’s doppelganger in an exhibit with the royal family. She temporarily replaced Queen Elizabeth.
The museum’s website claims “the only fitting way to laud official music royalty is to position her on the most regal of all stages alongside her Royal pals, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
It’s all in good fun. Beyoncé’s clone will only be there “one day before her figure moves to our own music stage,” said museum General Manager Steve Davies.
Davies thinks Queen Elizabeth will get a kick out of being replaced by the irreplaceable Queen B.
“HRH Queen Elizabeth II is famous for her mischievous sense of humor,” he explained. “A wry smile will cross her face when she sees that music royalty has temporarily filled her shoes.”
