It was a six-month work-in-progress, but it is now ready to be revealed to the Filipino public. The wax figure of Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach by Madame Tussauds is finally here in Manila and, just like the real Pia, she is STUNNING!
Can you guess which one is the real Pia?
Pia’s wax figure wears an exact replica of her iconic Swarovski-embellished royal blue gown by Michael Cinco which she wore during the coronation night of Miss Universe 2016 when she had passed on the crown. The wax figure also holds up the Mikimoto Crown, ready to be placed on top of anyone’s heads.
As the very first Filipino to be made a wax figure of by Madame Tussauds, Pia gushes over it being a dream come true. “I said yes right away without batting an eyelash. I didn’t even think about it. I was so excited!”
First selfie! ? This couldn’t be more perfect for #ThrowbackThursday! Feels like I’m reliving my crowning moment back in 2015! It’s surreal to see my wax figure in the flesh…and I’m really really honored to be the first Filipino to be part of Madame Tussauds! Dedicating this to my family, loved ones, and to all Filipinos! Maraming salamat sa suporta all these years. Magkita-kita tayo bukas sa SM Mega Fashion Fall when we unveil the wax figure to the public. Can’t wait! ??? @madametussaudshongkong #PIAmadeIconic
You can view Pia Wurtzbach’s wax figure at SM Mega Fashion Hall from March 29 to 31 during the #PiaMadeIconic Travel Festival before it gets shipped back to Madame Tussauds Hong Kong where it will stand beside the likes of Kendall Jenner, Johnny Depp, and Siwon Choi.
