What’s better than a wax figure of a celebrity? A celeb wax figure gone wrong.
Sure, we love it when the wax figure is a splitting image of the celebrity. For instance, back in July 2017 when Kylie Jenner got one, it looked just like her from when she showed up to the Met Gala the year prior in that slinky silver gown. Now that was impressive. Or how about the Justin Bieber wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Berlin? That one is so spot-on, we probably wouldn’t have known it wasn’t Bieber just by looking at a photo of it.
But then you get the duds — like the one of Beyoncé that was supposed to be her from her “Crazy in Love” music video, but instead somehow looked like a version of Britney Spears that spent way too much time in the tanning booth. For some reason, when wax figures go wrong, they seem to go way, way wrong.
That’s the not the only example, though. Let’s take a look at the 20 worst nightmare-inducing celebrity wax figures ever made.
A version of this article was originally published in January 2017.
George Clooney
That George Clooney wax figure is heavy on the blush and tinted lip balm.
Tom Hiddleston
Maybe it's the tan that's throwing us off, but this Tom Hiddleston wax figure is doing a major disservice to the real-life British hunk.
Kate Middleton & Prince William
In case you ever wanted to know what the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would look like sharing an oversized sweater like royal Siamese twins, here you go.
Ryan Gosling
This Madame Tussauds wax figure of Ryan Gosling was unveiled in Berlin in January 2017 — and it's a huge no from us.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki, is that… you?
Beyoncé
This is supposed to be Beyoncé in her "Crazy in Love" music video — supposed to be.
Dame Helen Mirren
The lovely Helen Mirren looks pleased with her wax figure, but she is an award-winning actress, after all.
Scarlett Johansson
In what world is this Scarlett Johansson? OK, OK, we can see it, but she looks more Barbie doll than kickass superhero.
Channing Tatum
It's not horrible, but there's something not quite right about this one…
Taylor Swift
*screams*
Taylor Swift, this is not.
Derek Jeter
Can we see it without the helmet, though?

This one might actually look like Ed Sheeran, but it's no less creepy.
Pharrell Williams
The hat! We'll never grow tired of the hat.
Katy Perry
Oh, hello, Katy Perry circa 2008.
Jimmy Fallon
The teeth on that wax figure is very Ross when he whitened his teeth on Friends, am I right?

That wax Miley Cyrus is close, but could be better.
Selena Gomez
Currently screaming like Tom Haverford from Parks & Recreation: "Nooooooooo!"
Ricky Martin
Livin' la vida loc-NO.

Why is the Justin Timberlake wax figure's hair gray? Why does his face look nothing like J.T.?
