The 18-year-old singer announced [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/lordemusic/status/598578306754084864) Wednesday that the statue was complete and officially on display at the iconic wax museum. She [said](https://twitter.com/lordemusic/status/598579019269865472) it was “an incredibly detailed process sitting for the waxwork, and the team at MT were so passionate and skilled.” It’s no surprise that it was a detailed process when you look at the figure. It’s incredibly realistic and pretty much perfect. Even Lorde’s mom, Sonja Yelich, was blown away. She posted a picture of the figure [on Instagram](https://instagram.com/p/2otBIOSwNt/), writing, “I so love this waxy Ella! Even I could be tricked into thinking that that’s my kid.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3858561/lorde-madame-tussauds-wax-figure/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3858561/lorde-madame-tussauds-wax-figure/"},"headline":"See Lorde's Insanely Perfect New Wax Figure","datePublished":"2015-05-14T15:13:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:19:47.319Z","description":"The 18-year-old Grammy winner is now a statue at Madame Tussauds","url":"https://time.com/3858561/lorde-madame-tussauds-wax-figure/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4080feb8f87c6037/6987efbca988ca7a366b0a61/473153620.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4080feb8f87c6037/6987efbca988ca7a366b0a61/473153620.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GRAMMY Winning Singer-Songwriter, Lorde Immortalized In Wax For Madame Tussauds Hollywood","caption":"GRAMMY Winning Singer-Songwriter, Lorde Immortalized In Wax For Madame Tussauds Hollywood","creditText":"Chelsea Lauren— Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3858561/lorde-madame-tussauds-wax-figure/","name":"See Lorde's Insanely Perfect New Wax Figure"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Watch Lorde Perform at the American Music Awards","description":"Watch Lorde Perform at the American Music Awards","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/rK9XibV3/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-11-24T03:02:48.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/rK9XibV3.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3858561/lorde-madame-tussauds-wax-figure/","duration":"PT29S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3858561/lorde-madame-tussauds-wax-figure/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
