On Tuesday, a photo surfaced on Twitter of the new Beyonce wax figure at an unidentified Madame Tussauds location — only, the figure looks absolutely nothing like her. Her hair looks flatter, her skin looks whiter, and her face looks more like Lindsay Lohan than Queen Bey herself.
Because of the wax figure disaster, the singer’s devout Beyhive took to Twitter to call out the museum for wronging their icon, with some even using the Oscars-inspired hashtag #TussaudsSoWhite. Check out the questionable wax figure and some of the best reactions below.

As one Twitter user pointed out, this isn’t the first time that a wax figure of Beyonce hardly resembles the singer at all. If there’s one thing the Beyhive made known after this latest Madame Tussauds’ fiasco, it’s that the next wax figure artist who attempts to create Beyonce probably needs to study the superstar’s features a little more closely.
