Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C., says it will soon unveil its wax rendering of U.S. first lady Michelle Obama.


The sculpture is expected to join one created in the likeness of U.S. President Barack Obama, which is already installed in the attraction’s White House Gallery, Tuesday.


Visitors will be able to admire the figure up close, as well as take photos with and even hug the Michelle Obama figure, the wax museum said in a news release Friday. Mrs. Obama is only the third first lady to be immortalized in wax by Madame Tussauds Washington D.C., joining two other iconic women who have served as first lady — Jacqueline Kennedy and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.


The museum said Michelle Obama’s figure is dressed in a red, custom-designed sleeveless dress inspired by the purple dress she wore the night her husband claimed the Democratic presidential nomination.


Her dress is accessorized with a classic pearl necklace and simple black heels, Madame Tussauds said.
