Brand-new waxwork sculptures of Harry Styles are to be unveiled at seven Madame Tussauds sites across the world.
After what the world-famous tourist attraction has admitted was “thousands of fan requests”, Madame Tussauds has confirmed that seven new waxwork figures of the beloved Cheshire-born singer-songwriter are to be installed and unveiled in a handful of major cities across the world.
The 28-year-old first appeared in Madame Tussauds attractions alongside his former One Direction bandmates a decade ago.
But this time around, he’s standing solo.
Visitors to Madame Tussauds sites in London, New York, Hollywood, Amsterdam, Berlin, Singapore, and Sydney will be able to “get up close and personal” with the multi award-winning popstar and actor from this month, according to the attraction – with the waxworks striking seven different poses inspired by some of Harry’s appearances worldwide.
The lifelike new waxwork figures took the expert artists at Madame Tussauds over 10 months to create.
According to the artists, the waxwork’s striking outfits are “a nod to [Harry’s] fashion credentials”, as well as his recent career venture into acting, as the London sculpture in particular is inspired by the iconic look he wore at the My Policeman premiere back in 2022.
Fans will be able to snap a selfie with the sculpture donning a double-breasted hunter green blazer, with a large flower broach, pistachio green trousers, ivory boots, and the all-important bright green handbag he paired it with.

The other six waxworks will also be seen wearing some of Harry’s most-famous and memorable red carpet looks from over the last decade.
“Harry is one of the biggest stars in the world right now,” explained Angela Jobson, Global Brand Director Madame Tussauds, ahead of the sculptures being unveiled.
She continued: “When the opportunity came up, there was no hesitation, so we jumped at the chance to add the superstar to our collection, and we cannot wait for fans to see him at any one of the seven venues worldwide.”
Tim Waters, who is the General Manager at Madame Tussauds in London, also added that the attraction can’t wait to welcome the waxwork to the UK’s capital city, and that the launch of the seven new sculptures across the world is “a testament to Harry’s incredible star power”.
“We know this will be a dream come true for all his fans as thousands have requested his figure over the last couple of years,” he concluded.

The Manchester charity that’s championing the community one step at a time
Thomas Melia
There’s a Manchester-based charity which is helping uplift and champion communities throughout the city centre and wider Greater Manchester region.
Us Mancs certainly know a thing or two about community, whether it’s our influential music scene, football clubs, our hospitality scene and so on, but Forever Manchester takes this to the next level.
This charity has been consistently funding and supporting community initiatives throughout Greater Manchester by helping people achieve the extraordinary, all while maintaining plenty of local pride.
Forever Manchester was born from a mission to support the people and places that make Greater Manchester magic, and is all about making sure the community is at the forefront of everything they do.

The community-first charity has invested over £65 million into local communities and awarded £517,968 to over 100 different community groups.
This isn’t a new charity either, Forever Manchester has been deep in our city’s culture for quite some time since launching in 1989, most notably commissioning local poet Tony Walsh’s ‘This is the Place’.
The piece was originally published in 2012 before finding a very special place in our hearts back in 2017 when Walsh performed the poem at a vigil for the Manchester Arena attack.
This love letter to Manchester has not only gone on to become a part of the city’s history but also reaffirmed this organisation’s place throughout communities in the region.

Now, the community-minded charity is ready to make a mark in 2025 with a whole host of initiatives, including a Forever Manchester lottery, pub quizzes, comedy nights and disco bingo.
Anyone looking to find out more information about this community-first charity and see some examples of the work it does can visit Forever Manchester’s official website.
Remember, this is a city that looks after its own – that’s the kind of energy we want to see you keeping up all year long.
