‘Cowboy Carter’ country: New Beyoncé figure riding into Madame Tussauds Orlando
Madame Tussauds Orlando is introducing a wax figure of Beyoncé sporting a “Cowboy Carter” look.
The ensemble includes a black hat, American flag-inspired boots and a Willie Nelson T-shirt.
“The figure celebrates Beyoncé’s extraordinary influence on music and culture, paying tribute to her lasting impact on the world,” Paul Gould, general manager of Madame Tussauds Orlando, said in a news release.
The singer released “Cowboy Carter,” inspired by musical genres she listened to while growing up in Texas, in March 2025. It won Grammy Awards for album of the year and best country album and was nominated in nine additional categories. She is currently on tour, which is scheduled to run through late July.
The figure, which will be seen in the attraction’s Music Room, is outfitted in a red, white and blue suede jacket with fringe over the vintage Willie Nelson T-shirt plus crystallized denim shorts, a silver cowboy belt buckle and a floor-length do-rag beneath the cowboy hat. Other performers represented in the Icon Park attraction have included Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Dua Lipa, Rihanna and Harry Styles.
