Madame Tussauds Las Vegas announced the debut of the iconic Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor Usher’s new wax figure. The figure was launched during a special event held at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas on September 2nd, 2026 as part of the performer’s 59 date R&B Tour with Chris Brown, including shows at Allegiant Stadium on September 5,6, and 18th.
“It looks more like me than me,” said Usher. “I am honored to be able to share the incredible moment that I had in Las Vegas with the entire world that comes here. This is impressive.”
At the unveiling, Usher wore a Tom Ford outfit highlighted by his signature Ice Box “U” pendant and chain, with bracelets and smaller necklaces by Jacquie Aiche.
Usher released his self-titled debut album in 1994 at age 15 and has gone on to sell over 100 million records worldwide. He’s won 8 Grammy Awards, 18 Billboard Music Awards, 12 Soul Train Awards, 7 BET Awards (including the BET Lifetime Achievement Award) and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The iconic singer also hosted a massive 100-show residency in Las Vegas from 2022-2023 and headlined the halftime show of Super Bowl LVIII held at Allegiant stadium.
“We are truly honored to add a musical icon like Usher to our lineup of figures here in Las Vegas,” said Gabe Hewitt, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.
The figure is a testament to the incredible craftsmanship of Madame Tussauds artists, capturing every detail of the iconic performer’s persona. To create a wax figure with such precision and detail, Usher worked with a team of Studio Artists from Madame Tussauds during a sitting where hundreds of measurements and photographs from every angle were taken to capture his exact features including hair color, eye color and skin tone. Usher also donated the figure’s signature wardrobe, highlighted by his Vanson skeleton biker jacket, from his Vegas residency. Over the course of about nine months, 20 studio artists sculpted, painted and individually inserted each piece of hair to achieve the perfect likeness.
