Unveiled on Thursday, the waxy lifelike statue of the 54-year-old material girl has no wrinkles and is barely recognizable when seen side-by-side with how Madonna actually appeared back in February at the Indianapolis football match.
The Like a Prayer hitmaker, who's sold more than 300 million records worldwide, received quite a facelift thanks to the Madame Tussauds figure dressed in the same Givenchy black dress topped with a glittering crystal-studded headdress.
The iconic singer's figure joins fellow pop stars Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Michael Jackson, Fergie, and Britney Spears at famed museum's Las Vegas location at the Venetian.

It's unclear whether Madonna will be visiting her likeness in person when her MDNA Tour stops at the MGM Grand on October 13 and 14.
According to Madame Tussauds website, the process for creating a wax figure is called 'sitting' and involved two sculptors, one photographer, and an assistant taking 200 measurements of the stars for three hours.
Celebrities are never paid for the sitting, and just sculpting one of their famous heads takes five weeks to complete.

Madonna is currently in Los Angeles where the Express Yourself singer stripped down to her bra and thong during her song, Human Nature, Wednesday night at the Staples Center.
The provocative performer, who also performs tonight, did her striptease in full view of adopted seven-year-old son David, who spent some time behind the decks with her official on-tour DJ Martin Solvang.
Adopted from Africa in 2006, David seems to have embraced his new life and looks set to follow in his mother's footsteps, showing an enthusiasm in the music industry, which seems to run in the family.

He might still be at school but the young star, who started his life in a Malawian orphanage, looks set to carve out his own career as a DJ.
The Queen of Pop's 12-year-old son, Rocco Ritchie, also took the stage during her show at Philadelphia in August.
Her imaginative routines this tour include being dressed up as a drum majorette, being bound and gagged by masked militia, and a take on her iconic conical bra ensemble.
On Tuesday, Madonna taped a full full episode of The Ellen Show, which will air on October 29th.

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to  the Cut  about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...

In honour of  amFAR  (The American Foundation for AIDS Research), Gaultier held a fashion benefit whose runway included everything from lip-synching to Dr Ruth dressed in rubber to raise money for a cause that devastated (and continues to devastate) communities around the world.

On July 10 1985, The Playboy magazine issue of nude Madonna photos was released !!

Playboy  publishes nude photos of  Madonna  taken before she was famous. The singer did a number of nude photo shoots from 1977-1980, starting when she was an 18-year-old student at the University of Michigan looking for some extra cash and trying to form a band. Now a huge star,  Playboy  publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner  Vanessa Williams , which their rival  Penthouse  published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,...
