AceShowbiz - On Monday evening, June 17, Millie Bobby Brown graced the iconic Madame Tussauds in London with a surprise unveiling of her wax statue, styled as her beloved character Enola Holmes. The actress stunned in a thigh-skimming mustard mini dress and matching neck scarf, flaunting her leggy figure for the occasion.
As she posed alongside her Victorian costume counterpart, Brown exuded an animated and vibrant presence. 26 fortunate fans, who had won a competition to witness the unveiling, were left awestruck by the young star's appearance.
Brown's collaboration with Madame Tussauds began in 2023 when artists traveled to her Atlanta home to meticulously measure her for precise replications. "Move over Sherlock – there's a new Holmes in Baker Street!" exclaimed Steve Blackburn, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London. "We've been honored to bring Millie Bobby Brown's cherished character to life."
"We recognize the striking similarities between Millie and Enola," Blackburn continued. "Both embody the qualities of intelligent, confident, and rebellious women who defy societal conventions, serving as admirable role models for today's youth."
Enola Holmes' wax statue will grace the new film and TV themed zone at Madame Tussauds London, which opens to the public on July 19. This zone will also feature iconic figures from "Doctor Who", "James Bond" and ET.
Expressing her gratitude, Brown stated, "It's a monumental accomplishment for me as a woman. I'm thrilled not only to be a wax figure but for Enola to have this opportunity. She's an immense inspiration to numerous young women, and I believe this is a groundbreaking moment."
The actress emphasized the significance of portraying Enola's "thinking" expression and strong posture, which capture the character's brilliant mind and unwavering determination. "She's a remarkable inspiration to young girls," Brown said. "She exudes strength and independence, leading with her heart, which is truly exceptional."
Brown's personal connection to the character was evident in her comments, "I've been developing this character since I was 13, and it's an honor that she'll be present at Madame Tussauds. Her story resonates with my generation, providing them with a refreshing role model."
