Mother Christmas hat, rows of pearls, red velvet bodysuit and garter belt ... Such is the panoply with which was decked out the wax statue with the effigy of Rihanna, revamped by the Madame Tussauds museum in Berlin on Thursday 9 December, on the occasion of the end of year celebrations. This replica, acquired by the establishment in 2011, struggles to convince the admirers of the singer. If the creators of the work have tried to reproduce in detail the tattoos and the hairstyle of the Barbadian artist, fans of the latter have pointed out a failure, and not the least: the face of the statue, which does not resemble nothing like Rihanna's. But also the too “Barbie doll” aspect of the object. Its holiday look, which brought the object back to light, aroused the hilarity of Internet users.
