Rihanna gets waxwork

The most recent homage is based on the seductive Pope appearance worn by Rihanna, 34, to the Catholic-themed Met Gala in 2018. Rihanna is said to be preparing for a tour.

Just a few days before Rihanna is slated to perform the Super Bowl halftime show, Madame Tussauds made the new wax figure public.

According to Billboard, the creation, which was meticulously designed to match every last aspect of Rihanna's 2018 outfit, took roughly six months to complete.

In the original look, which was created by Maison Margiela, Rihanna wore a bejewelled mini-dress that highlighted her cleavage and showed off her elongated legs.

A tall, bejewelled mitre and a billowing coat meant to resemble papal vestments were on-theme additions.

At the 2018 Met Gala, which she co-chaired alongside Anna Wintour, Amal Clooney, and Donatella Versace, Rihanna was the star of the event.

The event, which had the official title Heavenly Bodies: Fashion And The Catholic Imagination, raised some eyebrows due to accusations of cultural appropriation.

In 2018, the year of her bust-out presence at the Catholic Met Gala, she made headlines for declining the halftime show.
