Elliott’s presence at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards is recreated in the new figurine. The tracksuit and Versace shoes were gifts from the four-time Grammy winner for the sculpture.
“I can hardly contain my excitement as I introduce my very own wax replica to Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.” “This is a dream come true, and it’s an honour for the Iconology album to be a part of it,” adds Missy Elliott.

Elliott’s distinctive gold earrings and necklace are also seen on the figurine. Twenty studio artists from Madame Tussaud’s London location worked on the Virginia native for close to 200 measurements and photos over the course of six months.
Gabriel Hewitt, the General Manager of Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, says, “Missy Elliott’s new wax figure and interactive experience give her fans around the world an exciting way to connect with her like never before.”
