AceShowbiz - Mariah Carey, the iconic "Queen of Christmas", has unveiled her lifelike wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York. The figure is a perfect replica of Carey, from her golden locks cascading over her shoulders to her signature beauty mark.

The "All I Want for Christmas Is You" singer attended the unveiling, and she couldn't contain her excitement. "Oh my gosh, it's surreal. Very good!" she exclaimed.

The wax figure is adorned in a stunning red sequined gown, inspired by Carey's 2020 Apple TV+ holiday special, "Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas." It stands amidst a festive backdrop complete with a massive Christmas wreath and life-size nutcrackers adorned with Jack Russell Terrier detailing, a personal touch added by Carey to pay tribute to her beloved pets.

"We wanted to make an 'All I Want for Christmas' all year round experience," Carey explained. "This dress is inspired by Marilyn Monroe."

Carey also revealed that the jewelry worn by the figure is her own, including a red ruby necklace, matching earrings, and rings.
