Drake and Rihanna have both received another wax figure at Madame Tussauds.

Madame Tussauds has unveiled new wax figures celebrating both Drake and Rihanna as part of the Impossible Festival music zone for its London location. Drake's figure captures the rapper’s look from his appearance at the 2021 Wireless Festival in London. Drake was rocking a matching camouflage shirt and pants under a green cropped puffer jacket with white-on-white Air Force 1’s. It also features replica Cartier and Van Cleef jewelry. At that event, he joined Future for a surprise appearance. This is Drake's second wax figure for Madame Tussauds. He also has one on display at the Las Vegas museum. It captures his “Hot Line Bling” video set and look.

“Drake has shown his love for London on numerous occasions with his surprise appearance at Wireless Festival being just one example of this,” said Madame Tussauds London’s general manager Tim Waters. “With reports that he’s soon to call London home, we wanted to make sure we were able to give him a warm welcome to our streets and show that the love is reciprocated the only way we know how by immortalizing him in our famous attraction.”

As for Rihanna, she was honored with her third figurine at Madame Tussauds New York on Wednesday. It shows off her 2018 Met Gala look, which was inspired by the theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion And The Catholic Imagination.” The Maison Margiela outfit features a beaded white mini dress and matching robe. She also rocked a papal bishop’s hat and bejeweled crucifix. The figure is on display in the Glow Gala Room. “Rihanna is sure to make history with her upcoming live show this Sunday so the timing is perfect for us to reveal her new figure exclusively at Madame Tussauds New York where fans can admire and pose with the icon,” said Madame Tussauds New York general manager Joerg Hanel.

The addition of another wax figure for Rihanna at Madame Tussauds comes days ahead of her highly-anticipated Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show performance.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Philidelphia Eagles are set to kick off on Sunday at 6:30 PM, ET. Check out Rihanna's wax figure at Madame Tussauds below.
