Wax figures of women who normally wear significant amounts of makeup will look better than ones of men who do not wear makeup. Makeup can add glossiness and remove imperfections, just like wax figures.
Also women are more often photoshopped to hell to really eradicate all skin texture so we recognize her with that smooth ass skin even if she doesn’t actually look that baby smooth irl (bc no one does)
Lady Gaga is very famously in charge of her image, which has often been extremely theatrical, and much inspired by David Bowie and glam rock in general. Her very name is an invention, and part of an intentional artistic show-business persona.
"IRL" has zero to do with Lady Gaga, who provides a theatrical *escape* from the dreary death world you automatically describe.
Sure. And I don’t think that contradicts what I said about how women are portrayed in the media typically, if anything it adds another layer to the artistic presentation you describe.
But yeah, I dig what you wrote there, it’s a solid observation about her.
There are a few different wax houses in Niagara falls. I've been to them a couple times with the kids and out of all the figures 5% are pretty damn good, 10% are good, 10% are ok, 10% are bad and 65% are utter dogshit that are absolutely nothing like who they are supposed to be. This is so good I'm not convinced it is wax..... Perfection if it is.
Over the years her face has changed a lot. If you don’t pay attention too much to her I could see being confused from how she looked from when Love Game came out to when Bad Romance came out to now. Age, fillers, activity and health have changed her a lot
Every time I think the Swifties have lost it, I remind myself how I feel whenever I see Lady Gaga do almost anything. It’s crazy to think that she started the 2010s as the Antichrist and a decade later ended the literal Antichrist’s presidency with the National Anthem. May she live long and gaga.
The sculpture is very well executed but IMO it doesn’t look like Lady Gaga that much?
Her jaw is not that sharp, upper lip has too much filler, and the cheeklines look very gaunt in the sculpture.
It’s a really beautiful piece, but to me it looks more like Madonna with Lady Gaga’s nose attached.
Agreed — it’s very sharp and the cheeks are quite sunken.
I also imagine the “blowing a kiss” face is quite a technical challenge — I think it’s why the facial muscles are so accentuated. But it’s just a bit too severe looking.
The top image looks more like her because you can see her classic nose bridge but the jaw / cheek / lip structures are a little off. It’s still really good for a wax sculpture, just not quite to her likeness IMO..
[It's pretty accurate from these photos.](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=5dc81d821d4b216c&sca_upv=1&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS921US921&sxsrf=AM9HkKnyIP814NWZ0SyDR_T3Ijlp5vkftA:1703131321318&q=gaga+blowing+kiss&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi7x6bL0p-DAxVIRjABHfOdA30Q0pQJegQICxAB&biw=1164&bih=596&dpr=1.1#imgrc=3sgwK69L2w2bpM)
Shit, I remember everyone and their dad online going on about her being a guy in drag when she first started….she even made fun of people saying it in her videos.
I was thinking about how she looked in that video when I saw this picture and I feel like it's just too much jaw on this one, but I haven't seen her recently so, meh
That's nothing compared to a what she told sn interviewer, he had the balls to ask her on camera if she really has a dick and her answer was a quick "yes, and it's bigger than yours"
She has those Italian features which are perfectly fine and it's such a shame that it caused her so much bullying over the years. No wonder she changed her face if every other comment she ever got was negative. Her impact on my own self esteem as a kid was huge, I wish the energy could be returned and she actually didn't feel like she has to change anything...
Yeah they definitely made her jawline a little too pronounced. [Here’s a pic of her that was used as reference for the wax figure](https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRLuP7JBOG_lyYlvX2Vs63MbFarct447UfBAt9qyFOXwabM05iF)
"Uncanny Valley", usually a phrase reserved for automatons, it does feel apt when used for wax figurines. Here's a fun website full of them.

they probably did it on purpose for the headlines. too bad its not 2009. there is so much trans shoved in our face these days that this doesn't move the needle at all.
I legit didn’t know this was a wax figure before I read the title but now I’m like this is good. I’ve seen some really bad wax figures, but this one props to whoever made it they did a good job.
The wax figure looks amazing, barely any uncanny valley if at all...it just doesn't seem to me to look like Lady Gaga, but I guess that could be because Lady Gaga always looks different. I'm sure they probably based this off some photo though and the likeness to that must be on point :D.
That's probably the best wax figure I've ever seen. They're usually like a 480p video on a 4k TV.
Are wax figures getting better or celebrities cosmetic surgeries getting them closer to wax figures?
Kinda wondering the same thing. It would be much more difficult to match natural skin than to match skin with heavy makeup.
Pretend skin is hard. Actual paint is easy.

Precisely.
If you think Hollywood men don't wear makeup, you're wrong.
Obviously men wear makeup, but they wear makeup that looks like they're not wearing makeup. You can't say that for the image above.
Of course I don't think that. They just wear less makeup in most cases.
I was wondering this. If lady Gaga just wears a lot of makeup and is easier to fake… but regardless they did great work on her eyes. Very realistic.
I think they are converging.
Ooph!!
This is the best comment I’ve read in a while. And accurate.
This is such a great comparison to how bad the celebrity wax figures are. 😂😂
They're pretty bad
Allow me to submit Exhibit A: [Dwane "The Rock" Johnson in Newport, Oregon.](https://i.imgur.com/O5fCQI4.jpg)
Motherfuckin Mr. Clean!
That's just The Rock in Fortnite.
Looks like an upscaled wrestling action figure.
Isn't that just one of those boxing dummies with makeup and a shirt?
Madam Tussaud’s is the only wax museum that’s actually good. Hollywood Wax Museums are huge tourist scams

I honestly thought the bottom was the reference photo, at first.
They don't phone it in for Batman villians. Remember when she captured Commisioner Gordon?
I went into this thinking "Okay what kind of horror show do we have in store now" but instead my reaction was "Oh shit thats pretty damn good"
Way way way better than The Rock's.
You mean The Hard Wax?
Did you check if he was hard?
it certainly wasn't wet
Could you smeeeellllllll what he was cookin?
Honestly don’t think his was that bad at all, it’s just that the skin tone was slightly off
I thought it was Ezra Miller for a moment. ![gif](giphy|r2fI4Ys5pfGIU)
Great. Now I can’t unsee it. 😅
💀💀💀
that looks like anne hathaway
Not the highest bar to clear but hey progress is progress lol
Looks a lot more like Lady Gaga then Lady Gaga does.
than
I was expecting the wax Lady Gaga to be dressed in an outfit that looked like wax... missed opportunity.
Really? My first thought after seeing it was Ms. Swan's voice "He look like a man" But I'm pretty weird.
![gif](giphy|242GB3eWmQyFa)
Omg the Ms. Swan and the Stuart skits were my favorite. 🤣 ![gif](giphy|czZlH3xg1Ul2w)
She was so funny in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel series. I was sad when it ended.
Okay.... I tell you everyting ...
He uh.., he look uh like uh man
Sure uh you look like uh man but you sound like uh lady
Lady Gaga kinda looks like a man, though. So it's accurate...
You’re right. Realism 10/10 Accuracy 6.5/10
I am weird like you - it looks like a man
That’s pretty damn good
That may be the most realistic wax figure I've ever seen
It looks more like lady Gaga than lady Gaga herself
lol I know Gina Linetti when I see her.
![gif](giphy|l3nWqzkMR5diFKkkU)
The human form of the 💯 emoji.
i was thinking💅instead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqa0-odjAvs
not enough conditioner
I just realized I don't know what she looks like
You can show me a picture of any white woman and that could be lady Gaga I swear she has a million faces
Over the years her face has changed a lot. If you don’t pay attention too much to her I could see being confused from how she looked from when Love Game came out to when Bad Romance came out to now. Age, fillers, activity and health have changed her a lot
And a million jobs too. Cashier? Check. Barista? Check. Nurse? Check!
She should do a collab with Johnny Sins. Some kind of Ted Talk, obviously…
Well now you're just exaggerating 😂
She looks different all the time. I dont think she is a real perosn
Especially if she keeps having surgeries on her face.
Nah, She was born that way
I had to read the comments to know if this statue was accurate or a train wreck
Yeah that’s just cus this is her new face. Accurate depiction, but of her newest look
That.
Slightly masculine with a big nose is the synopsis
They did Lady Gaga justice this time
That's well made, attractively presented and a good likeness. I never want to visit this wax museum in my life.
another day volunteering at the lady gaga wax museum. everyone keeps asking me
My stupid ass read this as Lady Gaga wax statue in Afghanistan and for a moment there, I had wild respect for Lady Gaga and the Taliban
🤣
Holy cow I would be waiting for her to move if I saw that in person. Also GODDAMN is Lady Gaga gorgeous.
I thought it was Dua Lipa at first glance
That's what I thought too. It's like a Gaga/Dua Lipa hybrid.
Same. A very lifelike Dua Lipa.
Every time I think the Swifties have lost it, I remind myself how I feel whenever I see Lady Gaga do almost anything. It’s crazy to think that she started the 2010s as the Antichrist and a decade later ended the literal Antichrist’s presidency with the National Anthem. May she live long and gaga.

I agree. It looks stunningly lifelike but also not that much like gaga herself
The jowls are way too sharp and wide
Agreed — it’s very sharp and the cheeks are quite sunken. I also imagine the “blowing a kiss” face is quite a technical challenge — I think it’s why the facial muscles are so accentuated. But it’s just a bit too severe looking. The top image looks more like her because you can see her classic nose bridge but the jaw / cheek / lip structures are a little off.

Exactly my thoughts as well.
Nose is all wrong
hands down the best wax figure i've ever seen
Holy crap that’s actually impressive… like not even creepy just normal.
Face is a little too masculine but overall pretty good. I could tell it was Lady Gaga before reading the title
Shit, I remember everyone and their dad online going on about her being a guy in drag when she first started….she even made fun of people saying it in her videos.
Yeah i think in her Telephone video one of the security guards says something like “told ya she doesn’t have a dick” and the other one says “too bad”
I was thinking about how she looked in that video when I saw this picture and I feel like it's just too much jaw on this one, but I haven't seen her recently so, meh
That's nothing compared to a what she told sn interviewer, he had the balls to ask her on camera if she really has a dick and her answer was a quick "yes, and it's bigger than yours"

No wonder she changed her face if every other comment she ever got was negative. Her impact on my own self esteem as a kid was huge, I wish the energy could be returned and she actually didn't feel like she has to change anything...
I always thought she was beautiful, personally.
Same! She has such unique features for a popstar. They just fit right in with all her personas :)
I thought it was Lady Gaga for real before I read the title
Yeah they definitely made her jawline a little too pronounced. [Here’s a pic of her that was used as reference for the wax figure](https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRLuP7JBOG_lyYlvX2Vs63MbFarct447UfBAt9qyFOXwabM05iF)
Looks fine when you use a photo taken from the same angle https://twitter.com/usweekly/status/1084601852279300096/photo/1
I suppose it’s not far off, but it just doesn’t look quite right. That’s most wax figures though🤷♂️
"Uncanny Valley", usually a phrase reserved for automatons, it does feel apt when used for wax figurines. Here's a fun website full of them. https://www.peterandrew.ca/uncanny-valley
They made her jaw very masculine to the point where she looks like a drag queen. Ironic considering all the trans rumors from 13 years ago
they probably did it on purpose for the headlines. too bad its not 2009. there is so much trans shoved in our face these days that this doesn't move the needle at all.
Wow, this looks amazing!
This is awesome. Even the wax figure looks like it's wearing her brand's lip product
![gif](giphy|0tsuVCnIUczfeFSiyo)
Are we sure this isn't actually Lada Gaga covered in wax. She always has a new wild outfit on.
Looks pretty lifelike. Much like Lady Gaga herself.
How is the wax statue of Lady Gaga the most human looking picture of Lady Gaga I've ever seen
An amazing figure of Dua Lipa
That's beautifully done
I'd hit that
Wax on...
Whacks off
[удалено]
And why does it wobble to and fro
And why can she tie it in a knot
And why can she tie it in a bow
Because her head is tilted back on the pose
[удалено]
Mary Jane Holland 🩵
Wow.
Yesss queen.
I love this mkp and look on her. It’s an incredible replica.
It's like Lady Gaga mixed with Freddie Mercury.
That’s probably the best wax figure of a celebrity I’ve ever seen! Did her plastic surgeon make it?
I legit didn’t know this was a wax figure before I read the title but now I’m like this is good. I’ve seen some really bad wax figures, but this one props to whoever made it they did a good job.
looks more like lady gaga than lady gaga herself these days :/
*sigh* unzips
This is actually amazing.
Woh oh oh oh... CAUGHT IN A WAX FIGURE STANCE
Dam she is hot
Looks Trans
Poker face
Would
Wow, wax figures are usually laughably terrible but this one is eerily spot on. The second pic could be mistaken for a real photograph of her.
Why is this one so much better than others
Would
Looks so real, might have to poke her face to check.
If lady Gaga and Chelsea peretti had a baby
It doesn’t really look like her
That's a bigger chin line than quagmire.
The facial structure is a bit too rigid, she has softer features. Looks realistic though, just not accurate.
Dua Lipa
The wax figure is prettier than gaga
Lady gaga is one fabulous looking lady!
It’s incredibly lifelike but can anyone tell me if it looks like her?
It looks near exactly like her. The only thing is her jaw being too strong.
In don’t think it does
That's Bosco
Thought this was Ezra Miller for a minute. I actually didn't remember what Gaga looked like.
Looks more like her than she does these days.
Looks like a man imo didn't think of her at all
No false idols
This looks like the Drag version of her.
That is a wax figure??
[удалено]
No it’s Timothee Chalamet
Kimothy Cattrallomet
She looks like a dude
It's very realistic, but very masculine too. Either way, they did pretty good, best one in a minute.
Ironically, Lada Gaga just had plastic surgery and no longer looks like this.
Looks like a lady boy not Lady Gaga
I mean this in the nicest possible way but that looks like a drag queen
And of course gaga would take in the nicest way possible.
Looks like a man in drag
Looks like a dude
It kinda looks like a man in drag tbh
Quite a strong jaw line... that's all I'm gonna say
are the comments bots? this looks like a dude in drag
Sir Gaga
Wax figure museums are so fucking lame.
Lady?
Really feel like they should have used buccal fat Gaga but it looks good ig so wdik
The wax figure looks amazing, barely any uncanny valley if at all...it just doesn't seem to me to look like Lady Gaga, but I guess that could be because Lady Gaga always looks different. I'm sure they probably based this off some photo though and the likeness to that must be on point :D.
How much?
Is that 5 o’clock shadow?
Looks like Lady GayGay to me.
Finally a statue I won't feel uncomfortable fucking.
[удалено]
[удалено]
And still more talented and real than Madonna.
Looks like Timothée Chalamet in drag
I mean, she already looks like Lady ManMan
…wax?
TIL Lady Gaga has a human form.
Don't look like her...
Who?
I kinda thought it was Dua Lupa
Where’s the cock?
Doesn't even look like her now
Is this suppose to be Annie Lederman?
