Madame Tussauds in Amsterdam just added RiRi to their roster, honoring her 2020 Savage X Fenty show.

Rihanna just got yet another tribute to her in wax form, this time at Madame Tussauds' location in Amsterdam. Moreover, the figure actually looks quite accurate, at least when compared to other clowned iterations of celebrities. Furthermore, the specific fit they chose is a tribute to her Savage X Fenty show in 2020, during which she donned a beautiful purple floral get-up. "Madame Tussauds proudly welcomes Rihanna's wax figure to our attraction!" the museum's Instagram post of the occasion read. "Her beautiful outfit is based on her floral look for the Savage X Fenty show in 2020! Visit now and meet the stylish queen of pop in Amsterdam."

Of course, RiRi has a whole laundry list of iconic and stylish looks to choose from, a work that's still in progress. For example, she recently wowed the crowd at the 2023 Met Gala with her beautiful white dress, which also boasted a whole lot of flowers. She even had two versions of the fit; one with the flower hood and one without. Rihanna always turns heads with her fashion sensibilities, and there could be a dozen different wax figures that would all be equally as recognizable.

Rihanna Shines Bright Like A Diamond- Even In Wax

Still, all that fashion isn't keeping fans complacent as they wait for her next album, which would be her first in seven years at this point. However, recent statements from the "Lift Me Up" artist indicate that she's going to drop something soon, and might just be waiting for the right time. More importantly, it sounds like she's really trying to enjoy and thrive in the creative process in a way that's less encumbered by expectations and pop standards. "Musically, I’m feeling open," Rihanna remarked during interviews about her Super Bowl Halftime Show earlier this year. "I’m feeling open to exploring, discovering, creating things that are new. Things that are different."

Meanwhile, there's more reason to celebrate the 35-year-old than ever. Most recently, she earned her first diamond record with "We Found Love" with Calvin Harris. With all this hype and seemingly every eye in the industry on her next move, all we can do is be patient for her next move. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Rihanna.
