Zendaya arrives in Budapest in stunning outfit: here’s where you can meet her!

Zendaya has a new home in Budapest! A wax figure of the actress has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds Budapest, taking residence in a Rác Thermal Bath-inspired room. This unique wax figure, created specifically for the Budapest location, features Zendaya in a recreation of the stunning outfit she wore to the most recent Academy Awards ceremony.

According to the Hungarian tabloid Blikk, the creation of this wax figure was a months-long process undertaken by Madame Tussauds artists near London. The actress herself participated in a “sitting,” allowing the specialists to meticulously measure her physical attributes, from her skin tone and eye spacing to the precise colour of her hair. They also modelled her movements, posture, and hairstyle to ensure accuracy.

Iconic silk gown on the figure

The figure is dressed in a faithful replica of the Armani Privé silk gown, in antique rose and metallic tones, that the actress wore to the Oscars. The dress, featuring a twisted shoulder detail and palm leaf embellishments, made a significant splash, with Hollywood fashion journalists naming her the best-dressed star of that year. Recreating the gown presented a considerable challenge for the Madame Tussauds international team, but the final result speaks for itself. The figure was transported to Budapest from London.

For Zendaya, this arrival in Budapest is something of a homecoming. She previously spent several months in the Hungarian capital filming Dune, often accompanied by her fiancé, actor Tom Holland.
