Dua Lipa’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds Berlin has fans laughing: "That’s Dua Loophole"

A new Dua Lipa wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in Berlin on April 4, 2025. It is dressed in a glittery gold dress with gems taken from the catsuit she performed in on the Future Nostalgia Tour in 2022.

Like with most Madame Tussauds wax models, individuals on the internet quickly pointed out that this one did not actually resemble Dua. Rather, they playfully said that the figure bore a resemblance to someone else, posting humorous comparisons that made the wax figure resemble another individual rather than the pop star.

The wax figure was soon the laughingstock of social media users, who compared it to James Charles and said it only resembled Dua if you looked closely from far away and squinted your eyes.

Some others joked that it resembled her very distant cousin.

Netizens went wild, leaving witty remarks and proposals about the figure.

Madame Tussauds wax statues are already a meme themselves because, apparently, nobody ever looks anything like their real-world counterparts. They're too good, too bad, or simply off in some other manner.

Social media reacts as Madame Tussauds reveals Dua Lipa wax figure in Berlin

Users are having a blast making fun of the wax figure. Some are saying it resembles James Charles more, while others are joking that it resembles one of those items you order off Amazon, but when it shows up, you know it's totally different.

Fans have begun referring to it as the "Dua Loophole."

A user @szaseiji commented:

"that’s not dua lipa that’s dua loophole."

Another user, @zPopDrug, hilariously mentioned:

"help this looks more of a James Charles than a Dua Lipa 😭"

A user @giuradicalipa quipped:

"when i order Dua lipa on Amazon and then I open the package🫤"

People are teasing that it could possibly resemble her if you close your eyes and gaze from afar. Some even quipped that it resembled her far-off cousin more.

Others were teasing that perhaps Madame Tussauds began working on an Olivia Rodrigo statue but decided mid-process to drop it.

A user @arianaunext went on to say:

"I mean it’s not terrible if you look at it from a distance and squint your eyes a bit 😭"

Another user, @ratedpaulie, humorously noted:

"Looks like a distant cousin 😭"

A user, @Santana_rGeorge, jokingly mentioned:

"Looks like they started doing Olivia Rodrigo, and then changed to Dua Lipa at the last minute."

Certain users even asked whether the wax statue was actually Dua, and other people teased her name as "Lua Dipa," in case she was some kind of substitute for the singer.

One netizen @outXOftime commented:

"That’s Lua Dipa."

A user @roroxx16_ called it:

"Dua Lipa from Temu 😭"

A user @xBruci asked:

"Are we absolutely sure that’s Dua Lipa??"

Dua is a highly successful pop singer with hit songs such as Don't Start Now, Levitating and New Rules. Her album Future Nostalgia has earned various Grammy Awards.
