The Madame Tussauds Museum in New York has unveiled a new wax figure of Mariah Carey, specially designed for the holiday season. As soon as Halloween ends, the singer traditionally begins preparing for Christmas — a season she has made iconic with her hit All I Want for Christmas Is You. So it’s no surprise that this year, Madame Tussauds has introduced a wax figure of Carey in her classic Christmas image.
Fans’ Delight and Amazement
Unveiled on November 3, Mariah’s figure is stunningly lifelike. In her Instagram post, Carey shared photos of herself posing next to the figure, both dressed in festive attire. The real Mariah holds an ornament while standing next to her wax double, who is dressed in a sparkling ruby-red gown that perfectly captures the holiday spirit. The figure is remarkably realistic: from the golden waves of hair to her radiant skin, every detail — even her signature beauty mark on her chin — has been meticulously crafted.
Fans were quick to notice this latest museum addition, wondering if it’s possible to distinguish the real Mariah from her wax counterpart. Many commented on how lifelike the figure is, with some saying it feels like looking in a mirror. Madame Tussauds is renowned for its expertise in creating incredibly accurate celebrity replicas, and Mariah’s figure is no exception.
Special Attention to Detail
A video posted instagram by Carey shows her first seeing her wax double, accompanied by her 13-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan. In the video, Moroccan exclaims, “It’s like looking at you in a mirror!” Mariah herself notes with delight how the sculptor captured every detail of her appearance, including the beauty mark on her chin. She also added that her wax double is adorned with real rubies — her own jewelry.
Carey shared that the festive gown, inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s style, is designed to remind fans of the holiday spirit all year round. The new figure indeed brings a special mood to everyone who’s ready to celebrate Christmas with Mariah.
Mariah Carey’s new wax figure has become a source of admiration for her fans and a symbol of her unmistakable holiday spirit. The wax Mariah at Madame Tussauds once again highlights her status as the Queen of Christmas and invites museum visitors to get into the festive mood along with her.
