Madame Tussauds unveils new Spears figure

Madame Tussauds in London Monday unveiled a new Britney Spears figure designed to capture the U.S. pop star’s comeback look.

The Daily Telegraph said the latest Spears waxwork is smiling, has long blond hair, is dressed in a sparkly silver dress with a plunging neckline and is holding an MTV Video Music Award.

We are delighted to be featuring Britney at Madame Tussauds London for the second time, Madame Tussauds’ spokeswoman Liz Edwards told the newspaper. Her original figure captured a provocative pose from her 2001 Dream Within a Dream Tour and was extremely popular. However, she’s undergone a huge transformation since then and we wanted to reflect her as she is now.

Since that 2001 tour, Spears, 27, has been married and divorced, given birth to two sons and suffered well-publicized legal battles and a meltdown that led to a brief hospitalization. Spears’s father was legally appointed last year to oversee her affairs and she has since been spending more time with her children, has released the new hit album Circus and has announced plans for a concert tour.
