Harry Styles arrives to Madame Tussauds Budapest

One of today’s most influential superstars, fashion and style icons has arrived at Madame Tussauds Budapest. The new figure of the production is a man who filled Madison Square Garden fifteen times in a row, was the first man to appear on the cover of Vogue, and broke records with his world tour. The wax figure of Harry Styles is already on display in Budapest.

Madame Tussauds Budapest celebrated its newest permanent figure with a sparkly, colourful press event. The event was like Styles himself: extravagant and unique. The barely 30-year-old young man began his career in the British The X Factor, where he was briefly eliminated as a soloist, before returning to the competition as a member of One Direction. The boy band achieved incredible success, but this was only the first step in Harry Styles’ life.

The singer started a solo career, received three Grammy awards – including one for best album – and attracted incredible crowds with his Love On Tour. He filled New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden fifteen times, grossing a total of $617 million, while he was welcomed by hysterical crowds everywhere he went. He also acted in major Hollywood productions.

Harry Styles, however, is much more than a stadium-filling pop star. He is a true cultural and style icon who sparked a fashion revolution with his eccentric way of dressing. He encourages his fans to dress up for his concerts, so sparkly dresses, feather boas, and sheer and pink garments are everywhere all at once. The singer himself did not hold back when it came to his performance costumes: Styles brought men’s pearl necklaces, skinny jeans, Hawaiian and floral print blouses and vests into fashion. Styles appeared on the cover of Vogue in 2020 in a Gucci skirt, being the first man to be alone on the cover.

Harry Styles’ appearance is so special that even his eleven Madame Tussauds figures in seven locations can be seen in different outfits. The wax figure in Budapest is unique, the audience cannot see him in this set anywhere else.

Like most living stars today, Harry Styles himself took part in shaping his figure. The singer spent several hours in the Madame Tussauds studio near London with artists, sculptors and technicians. This phase is called “sitting”, where more than 200 measurements are taken on the star. From the location of the freckles to the height, the colour of the eyes, and the distance between the ears, the experts carefully assessed everything, so that the result was as authentic as possible. About twenty people took part in the creation process, and the figure was being made for almost half a year. The strands of hair are even placed into the wax head one by one – the thorough work alone took several weeks.

Harry Styles is the 54th permanent figure of Madame Tussauds Budapest. “Today we celebrated another unforgettable moment when we unveiled Harry Styles’ wax figure. Today, Harry is the brightest star in the world of music and fashion, a true generational icon who is admired by tens of millions around the world. From now on, everyone can experience its charm up close, standing on a stage with a superstar wearing one of the exciting performance outfits of the Love On Tour concert series. We also prepared a complete clothing collection for the visitors, which anyone can try on to become a star for a while” – said Zsuzsanna Óhidi, COO of Madame Tussauds Budapest. There will also be a party in honor of Harry Styles on September 6.
