Meet your favourite celebrity cast in wax

What do Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio and Britain's Queen Elizabeth have in common?

You just might find them all in the same room within Madame Tussauds, a wax museum in London most famous for its numerous wax figures of notable personalities and celebrities from all over the world.

The museum is widely popular as visitors love taking photographs with the lifelike wax figures of their favourite stars whom they may not have the chance to meet in real life.

According to the official Madame Tussauds website, these life-sized wax figures are crafted from scratch with great effort.

It starts with getting accurate measurements from sittings with famous personalities, capturing their likeness through rigorous sculpting and customising physical attributes such as hair texture, eye colours and skin tones.

The lifelike wax figures are then dressed in the stars' most iconic outfits and posed in signature poses to bring out their unique auras.

With the upcoming opening of Madame Tussauds wax museum in Singapore, this photo gallery compiled by Reuters may give you a taste of what to expect next year.
