Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach is feeling excited to see her finished wax figure which will be displayed at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
Wurtzbach made history by becoming the first ever Filipino personality to have a statue featured at the famous wax museums.
In an interview with MJ Felipe for Bandila, Wurtzbach said she is excited to see the figure which Filipinos abroad can visit and takes photos as if it was really her.
“I’m really happy because I got there. You know, I’ve visited the one in Hong Kong and the one in Vegas and I know how fun it can be. So I am really excited to be one of the wax figures that I’ll see,” she said.
Wurtzbach also expressed her excitement through an Instagram post.
Madame Tussauds Hong Kong also said that it is only fitting for Wurtzbach to be the first ever Filipino to have her wax figure in honor of her achievements as an international beauty queen, actress, and humanitarian.
It was also previously reported that the iconic blue ball gown created by Dubai-based fashion designer Michael Cinco which Wurtzbach wore during her final walk will be featured at Madame Tussauds.
Wurtzbach wore the cobalt blue couture gown when she passed on the Miss Universe crown to her successor, Iris Mittenaere of France, when the pageant was held in Manila.
Cinco said that he created the blue gown to pay homage to his best friend and fellow designer, Albert Andrada, who created Wurtzbach blue serpentine gown during the Miss Universe 2015 pageant.
Andrada also confirmed that it will be Cinco’s creation that will be brought to Hong Kong to be displayed at the said wax museum.
“Yes, it will be Michael Cinco because they will make the wax statue [look like she is] relinquishing the crown so people would have photos as if they are being crowned by Pia,” he said.
Entertainment reports say that the wax figure will be revealed next year.
