Carrie Underwood gets wax treatment at Madame Tussauds

The creation of Underwood's figure began earlier this year when a team of Madame Tussauds studio artists flew out to meet Underwood on tour for her figure sitting. Underwood spent more than an hour with the studio artists and donated a replica of the dress that she wore to the 2006 CMA Awards. The dress was designed by Trish Townsend and constructed by Dez Zamek.

"We are thrilled that Carrie was able to join us today to help unveil her figure. Not only is she a bona fide superstar with fans around the world, but she is also an incredibly kind and generous young woman - a true role model for young people today. We know that our guests will love her figure, and we can't wait for them to see it," said Janine DiGioacchino, general manager of Madame Tussauds New York and Madame Tussauds Washington D.C.

Underwood's wax likeness is part of the VIP Room and is posed in a standing position with hands on hips. "I am honored to have been asked to pose for a Madame Tussauds wax figure as this is truly a once in a lifetime experience. I am really excited to attend my unveiling today," said Underwood.
