ORLANDO, FLORIDA: Madame Tussauds in Orlando, Florida, has revealed its latest wax figure of Beyonce, but fans are voicing their disappointment, claiming the statue looks more like other celebrities than Queen Bey herself.

The 43-year-old global icon has been immortalized in wax before, but this particular figure aims to capture her current 'Cowboy Carter' era.

The statue features Beyonce in a denim jacket with matching shorts, a Willie Nelson T-shirt, platinum blonde hair, a black cowboy hat, and ankle boots adorned with an American flag print.

Madame Tussauds shared the unveiling on Instagram with the caption, "This ain't Texas... but Beyonce just arrived in Orlando. Introducing Queen Bey’s brand-new wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando!"

"Inspired by her Cowboy Carter era, Beyonce's look showcases an American flag-inspired aesthetic with a fringe-adorned suede jacket, vintage Willie Nelson T-shirt, crystallized denim shorts, and signature cowboy accessories," they added.

The attraction also announced a special event, "On March 29, exactly one year after Cowboy Carter, fans can celebrate the debut of Beyonce’s new figure at a special one-night event at @olered Orlando before its official unveiling at Madame Tussauds Orlando on March 30."

"Saddle up and strike a pose with this icon! Who’s ready to visit?" the post added, according to HOLA.

Many fans were quick to express their disapproval, with some suggesting that the figure resembles other artists more than Beyonce.

"Thought it was Victoria Monet at first glance," one fan commented while another added, "Something’s not right… Why did they give her tired eyes?"

"Why y’all can’t never get this lady right," a user wrote and someone penned, "I need y’all to actually start back putting the artist in the chair and getting all their measurements and stuff. Something has been off about these Beyonce figures."

A netizen opined, "This ain’t Beyonce either" while another remarked, "I don’t know why they’re always off when it comes to Beyonce."

Beyonce and Jay-Z reportedly considering legal action against Kanye West

The unveiling of Beyonce’s wax figure comes amid reports that she and her husband Jay-Z are considering legal action against Kanye West following his controversial social media post about their seven-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.

During one of his latest online rants, West questioned the mental capacities of the couple’s twins.

Following the post, a source told Page Six that the couple is "discussing how they want to handle this situation, whether that be privately and/or in a legal matter."

The insider emphasized that Beyonce and Jay-Z "will absolutely not stand for" the way Kanye spoke about their children, calling his language "vulgar and offensive."

As of now, they reportedly have no plans to publicly address West’s remarks.

While Blue Ivy Carter has been in the public eye since her birth in 2012, Beyonce and Jay-Z have been significantly more private when it comes to their twins.
