Waxing Nostalgic: Kate Middleton in Issa, McQueen and Madame Tussauds

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

If the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge look a little more stiff than usual you can thank Madame Tussauds, the famed hall of wax build-ups, which revealed Kate Middleton‘s very first rendering today in London. Her royal fierceness wears an exact replica of the Issa dress in which she announced her engagement to Prince William all those many months ago. Simultaneous exhibits in the museum’s New York, Amsterdam and Blackpool locations feature the future Queen of England in dresses by Alexander McQueen, Temperley and Jenny Packham, respectively. I wonder if they captured Will’s thinning hair as well…

Even before her tragic death this summer, Amy Winehouse‘s 2006 studio album, Back to Black, stood as one of the greatest albums of the 21st century. Adding to the singer’s — and that album’s — legacy is the recent auction of the dress Winehouse wore on the cover, designed by Thailand-based designer, Disaya Sorakraikitikul. Originally estimated at somewhere between $16,300 and $32,600, the dress was acquired Tuesday in London by Chile’s Fundacion Museo De La Moda for $70,400.

So Pissed We Missed It…

In honor of Halloween and the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s record-breaking Thriller album, hundreds of fans turned up at Madame Tussauds in Times Square to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most people doing the Thriller dance at the same time.

All decked out in ghoulish costumes, participants received lessons on how to do the Thriller dance, got a zombie makeover, and were photographed with Madame Tussauds’ Michael Jackson wax figure.

So sad we missed it…

Amy Winehouse’s Madame Tussauds wax statue with Winehouse’s parents.  

Amy was not present at the unveiling ceremony… She was busy. 

As much as I love Amy Winehouse’s music, her behavior is clearly out of control. Madame Tussauds London wax museum honored the absent Winehouse, by erecting an Amy Winehouse wax figure. Her sweet parents were in attendance. Her wax portrayal is a little different than her real appearance. For instance, Winehouse is not disheveled,scarred, snorting or smoking anything. Miraculous! Tussauds did follow through with the soul singer’s myriad of tattoos. It’s sad. Tussauds probably did this to honor Winehouse before her inevitable death.
