Not only will the new waxwork – due to be unveiled in July – capture the reality star partaking in her favorite pastime, but guests will be able to get involved too. By sidling up to the figure, striking a suitable pose/pout and pressing the button, an actual photo will be taken from the device in the wax figure’s hand. And, in keeping with Kardashian’s strict “3 image rule,” which dictates that no more than three selfies can be taken in the same location, there’s a constantly changing backdrop. “When we were thinking about how we should portray Kim here at Madame Tussauds London it quickly became obvious it HAD to be taking a selfie,” said Edward Fuller, general manager of the attraction. Madame Tussauds has long focused on Kardashian, immortalizing her in various themes. [In 2011](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/kim-kardashian-gets-wedding-themed-225147), its Hollywood branch unveiled a wax likeness of the star in a wedding dress just two days ahead of her actual wedding to Kris Humphries. _This_ [_article_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/kim-kardashian-madame-tussauds-selfie-801502) _originally appeared on_ [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com)_._ _More from The Hollywood Reporter:_ * [2015 Summer Movie Guide: Sequels… Comedy… Action!](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/2015-summer-movie-guide-sequels-796697) * [Summer Box Office Champs: From Sharks to Shrek to Superheroes](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/gallery/summer-box-office-champs-summer-794202) * [Kids’ Summer Guide: 25 New Things Families Can Watch and Read Together](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/new-kids-movies-tv-shows-793024) ## Transcript [00:00] Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will soon be Mr. and [00:04] Mrs ., but before they're bound for life here's a [00:07] rundown of how they went from flirtation to family. The [00:10] pop culture power duo was first spotted hanging out [00:13] back in 2010. But relationship rumors seemed to be [00:16] just that, rumor's at the time. Kim went on to date, and [00:19] then Wed, basketball star Kris Humphries, but their [00:22] marriage, lasted an infamous 72 days. A few months [00:26] after Kim and Kris' split, Kanye released his 2012 [00:29] track, Cold Theraflu, featuring the lyrics, and I'll admit I [00:32] had fell in love with Kim, around the same time she [00:35] had fell in love with him. But I said before, I mean, [00:38] Kanye and I have been friends for years. And, you [00:41] know, you never know what the future holds or where [00:44] my life will take me, so, I like the song. [00:48] Their relationship soon turned into romance and Kimye [00:51] was born. That summer the reality star gushed about [00:54] her quote, new fairytale, to Oprah. One day it just, I [00:57] don't know it just happened and I'm like, it took kinda [01:01] like, took me by surprise even. The pair did come [01:04] under fire for their past relations, notably from West's [01:07] ex Amber Rose, but it turns out Kanye had been in [01:11] love with Kim for some time. I, I loved her from the first [01:14] day I saw her, which I said on bound, I don't [01:18] remember when that was [ LAUGH ]. I don't know when [01:21] [ LAUGH ]. I remember seeing pictures with her, you [01:25] know, I think she was in Australia with Paris Hilton or [01:28] something, and, and reading her name and telling my [01:32] friends like, have you ever seen Kim Kardashian? [01:34] Those pictures Kanye was talking about, that was back [01:37] in 2006. Once they were finally together, things were [01:41] a whirlwind. Not long after going public with their [01:44] relationship, Kanye announced some big news. Can we [01:47] make some noise for my baby momma Kim [01:48] Kardashian? [ NOISE ]. After [01:53] revealing they were expecting Kim and Kanye steamed [01:55] up the cover of a French fashion magazine, and made [01:58] numerous public appearance, notably at the Met Gala. [02:01] Then in June 2013 the couple welcomed a daughter, [02:03] North West. The pair kept a low profile, after [02:06] becoming parents, but they did show their love online, [02:09] shamelessly flirting. Who can forget that selfie? And [02:13] then they made a big splash in October, when Kanye [02:15] popped the question, in San Francisco, on Kim's 33rd [02:19] birthday. They followed that, with the over the top, and [02:21] topless movie video, for Kanye's song Bound To. And [02:24] since then it's been all about wedding planning and [02:27] that vogue photo shoot. And now, here we are on the [02:30] eve of the couple's European nuptials. Congrats to the [02:33] almost newlyweds. Thanks for watching, I'm Bryce [02:36] Sander. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3915691/kim-kardashian-wax-selfie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3915691/kim-kardashian-wax-selfie/"},"headline":"Kim Kardashian to Get Her Own Selfie-Taking Wax Figure","datePublished":"2015-06-10T11:47:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:24.408Z","description":"Say \"cheese\"","url":"https://time.com/3915691/kim-kardashian-wax-selfie/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt70b4b8958c951bb9/69884ce95f570f79f3b1b29d/kim-kardashian.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Ritman/The Hollywood Reporter"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt70b4b8958c951bb9/69884ce95f570f79f3b1b29d/kim-kardashian.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Reality TV Personality Kim Kardashian signs copies of her new book \"Selfish\" at Barnes & Noble bookstore at The Grove on May 7, 2015 in Los Angeles.","caption":"Reality TV Personality Kim Kardashian signs copies of her new book \"Selfish\" at Barnes & Noble bookstore at The Grove on May 7, 2015 in Los Angeles.","creditText":"Paul Archuleta—FilmMagic/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/3915691/kim-kardashian-wax-selfie/","name":"Kim Kardashian to Get Her Own Selfie-Taking Wax Figure"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Kim & Kanye’s Relationship From Flirtation To Family","description":"Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will soon be “Mr. and Mrs.,” but before they’re bound for life, here’s a rundown of how they went from flirtation to family.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/qAsmAbEJ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-05-22T18:03:57.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/qAsmAbEJ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3915691/kim-kardashian-wax-selfie/","duration":"PT2M36S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3915691/kim-kardashian-wax-selfie/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
