Will the real Mariah Carey please stand up.
This week, the “All I Want for Christmas” singer helped unveil “Wax Mariah” during a red carpet event at Madame Tussauds in New York City.
Dressed in sparkling jewels, Mariah was giddy with excitement when she first saw her wax replica.
The dress, as Carey explained, is inspired by Marilyn Monroe, one of her heroes. “I love the glamour. “There’s something about that specific era where it was just magical.”
For realistic purposes, Carey gave her wax figure a huge diamond-and-ruby necklace, matching earrings and a butterfly ring.
As Carey pointed out, the figure even has the same beauty mark on her cheek. “Wax Mariah is my new best friend,” she said, hugging her.
