To celebrate 10 years together, Little Mix get the Madame Tussauds wax treatment

Fans of top British girl group Little Mix have been asking to see their heroes rendered in wax for years - and now, to tie in with the band’s 10th anniversary - their likenesses have gone on display at Madame Tussauds in London. Based on measurements of the pop stars, statues of Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirwall were unveiled at the world famous tourist attraction, Wednesday (28 JULU 2021). The look recreated is from their “Bounce Back” music video from 2019 and sees the singers wearing the same outfits from the promo. The girls' stylists donated their costumes; including Pinnock’s Moschino blazer and tights, Edwards' Ana Ljubinkovic look, Thirwall’s neon green dress by Miscreants, and Nelson’s Marques Almeida pink snakeskin trousers. Nelson left the group in December 2020 to focus on her mental health but Tussauds shows the original line-up. The statues have been in progress since early 2020. Little Mix is currently on hiatus as both Pinnock and Edwards are pregnant.

LONDON, July 28 (Reuters) - British girl band Little Mix joined the starry line-up at Madame Tussauds in London on Wednesday, with the wax museum unveiling the chart-topping group’s replicas to mark their 10-year anniversary.

Ex-member Jesy Nelson, who quit the band in December, joins singers Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall in having their wax likenesses created based on the band’s 2019 “Bounce Back” music video.

The group shot to fame after winning the British version of talent show “The X Factor” in 2011 and has since scored several UK no.1 hits, including “Black Magic” and “Shout Out to My Ex”.

Its members started working with Madame Tussauds in early 2020, months before Nelson announced her departure.

“When that news did come through, we all collectively decided that it was really best to carry on with our plans to immortalise the ‘Bounce Back’ video, and of course include Jesy in that line-up,” said Claire Treacy, senior PR manager at Madame Tussauds in London.

“Jesy is such a huge part of Little Mix, of everything that they’ve achieved over 10 years.”
