Singapore, 23rd March 2024 – Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach is making waves in Singapore with the arrival of her wax figure at Madame Tussauds Singapore for a limited time only. The multifaceted queen, who is now also a successful actress, host, and entrepreneur, first made history in 2019 as the first Filipino wax figure to be featured in Madame Tussauds.
Since then, Pia has also launched her debut novel, Queen of the Universe, became a TEDx speaker on mental health, and featured Singapore on her TV program, Pia’s Postcards. The course of her career post- MIss Universe has proven to chart a brilliant incline. It’s no wonder that fans are calling for her wax figure to be featured at Madame Tussauds Singapore, with many hoping to see Pia’s figure, who wears a replica of the iconic Swarovski-embellished royal blue ball gown by Michael Cinco, which she wore when she passed on the crown in 2016.
Pia herself is thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to reach more people with her wax figure, whom she fondly refers to as P2. “I’ll never forget the first time I saw my wax figure by Madame Tussauds. It was a bit shocking and thrilling at the same time, and the unveiling was definitely the highlight of my life. I’m really excited that I get to share another moment with P2 and have fun with my fans, this time in Singapore. I hope they enjoy interacting with my ‘twin’ and getting their own crowning moment.”
Her popularity is testament to how her work has inspired many —a fact acknowledged by Madame Tussauds Singapore. “Pia is an outstanding woman who has made many achievements in life,” shared Elaine Quek, Head of Sales and Marketing [1] at Madame Tussauds Singapore. “We know there are many Pia fans out there who would like to see the queen up close. We are happy to have her figure at our attraction and hope many would take this opportunity to not only witness the amazing likeness, but also admire the craftsmanship that had a hand in making the figure.”
To celebrate this moment with Pia’s fans, Madame Tussauds Singapore partnered with world leading travel and activities booking platform Klook, Philippine Airlines, and Resorts World Sentosa – Asia’s premium lifestyle destination resort. Fans visiting Singapore can expect to enjoy a host of exciting experiences throughout their journey. Guests can also enjoy a special “Queen” promo at SGD58, which includes admission to Madame Tussauds and a copy of Pia’s novel, Queen of the Universe, with the promo code PIA24 on madametussauds.com/Singapore or on the Klook website.

The beauty queen-turned-fashionista shared some Dubai photos with her handsome husband on Instagram where they looked like they came straight out of a movie poster.
“Home with my habibi,” Pia wrote with a red heart emoji.
It’s been a busy few months for Pia, who has been attending fashion weeks in Europe, as well as fashion events in Asia. In March, she delivered an empowering and inspiring speech in Manila during the #ImWorthIt campaign of the cosmetics brand L’Oreal Paris.
In her speech, Pia addressed her bashers, saying nothing fuels her more than people who diminish her worth.
“The more you tell me no, the more I’m going to try to prove you wrong,” she said. “Don’t tell me I can’t do something because that is the sure way for me to try to make it happen.”
In the recent Milan Fashion Week, two data agencies, Lefty and Launchmetrics, named the Miss Universe 2015 among the celebrities who generated the highest media values.
Jeremy has been supportive of Pia’s fashion pursuits. In October last year, he revealed the beauty queen thought she would never make it to fashion weeks after enduring a three-year struggle to make it to the European fashion scene.
Pia and Jeremy marked their first wedding anniversary last month.
