Wax figures. When they’re good, they’re really good. Almost lifelike!
But when they’re bad…oh boy, are they bad. Let’s find some of the worst, shall we?
Victoria Beckham
Um?
There’s a lot of offenses to Victoria Beckham happening here, but I’m gonna be honest: the worst one is that wig.
A runner up: the facial expression that makes it look like the wax figure is questioning its life choices.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo, sweetie, I’m sorry.
One of the difficult things with wax as a medium is that it’s shiny. But someone could have given him just a touch of powder, right?
I’m fully not going to address that jawline. We’re all seeing it with our own eyes.
Rowan Atkinson
Since when is Rowan Atkinson’s nose shaped like that?
The weird eyebrow raise and the orange shading are nothing short of art.
If this wax figure was standing at the foot of my bed in the middle of the night, I would die of fright.
Will Smith
Okay, so this has, like, the idea of Will Smith.
But where is the dimension in his skin tone? He’s all one flat color, with no shadows or undertones. It’s unnerving.
Also, the forehead. What happened there?
Prince William
So, whoever made this absolutely hated Prince William, right?
I think the jawline that is wider than his forehead, paired with the buck teeth is really what puts this over the top. Wow.
Mel Gibson
No, he’s not this red. Or this shiny. He doesn’t look anything like this.
But tbh…given who he is as a person and the things he’s done in the past…I’m not gonna say he doesn’t deserve it.
Jennifer Lopez
Why is she looking at me like that?
This has an air of JLo, but only just. That nose is all wrong, her cheekbones aren’t high enough, and her chin needs to be more pointed.
Daenerys Targaryen (“Game of Thrones”)
I…am speechless.
Why is her jaw two entirely different shapes on either side? Why is her nose bridge so wide? What happened to her lips?

What happened to her iconic eyebrows?!
David Beckham
Hey, quick question: how is this David Beckham?
His other half is the weirdly wigged Victoria, so at least the quality makes sense. I guess.
But what reference picture did they use for him? No, I’m really asking.
Naomi Campbell
This is a meme. It’s an affront to a supermodel, but it’s also such a meme.
I feel like I don’t need to break down how this looks absolutely nothing like the gorgeous Naomi. Y’all can see.
(WHY ARE HER EYES SO FAR APART?!)
Hillary Clinton
She won the popular vote!
She lost the wax figure game, though.
First of all, that wig is not voluminous to be Hillary’s, so jot that down. Second, those teeth look incredibly realistic, and absolutely nothing like Hillary’s. Wow.
Queen Elizabeth II
My absolute favorite part about this wax figure is that it looks like someone quite literally sculpted her from a picture of the Queen blinking.
Also, it looks nothing like her. That goes without saying.
Julia Roberts
Her teeth.
Why are her teeth so big? I know Julia Roberts has a mega-watt smile, but this makes it look like she’s posing after smoking a pack a day for 30 straight years.
Beyoncé
Unbelievably, this figure is supposed to be her, but it comes across as Britney. There’s no other way around it, really.
I wish I could explain why this figure is so incredibly light-skinned, but I can’t.
Beyoncé Again
Look, let’s just say it: no one can get Beyoncé right.
Either she’s too light-skinned, too orange, her lips are too thin, or the sculptor refused to acknowledge that she’s a black woman.
Sigh.
