MISS UNIVERSE 2018 Catriona Gray is getting her own wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
She is the third Filipino celebrity to be part of the popular wax museum.
Catriona, who is celebrated her 26th birthday in January 6, has just announced the news on her Instagram feed.
Catriona’s wax figure will be unveiled in Manila, and toured in the Madame Tussauds museum in Singapore, Bangkok, and finally Hong Kong.
In September 2018, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong announced Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach as the “first-ever Filipino wax figure” in the museum.
Her wax figure donning a replica of the blue Michael Cinco ball gown she wore during her final walk at the Miss Universe pageant, was unveiled in March 2019.
In December 2019, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong revealed boxing champion Manny Pacquiao to be the newest addition to their “pool of Filipino wax figures.”
His wax figure is set to be unveiled this 2020.
