PHOTOS: Emma Watson Gets Waxed As Actress Makes It Into Madame Tussauds

Emma Watson have been a star since the age of 11 but the Harry Potter actress has only just made it into the world famous Madame Tussauds with her waxwork unveiled today.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower star's fashion credentials have not gone unnoticed with the waxwork dressed in a black Elie Saab dress with a cut-out back as she is shown sitting pretty on a chaise longue.

It sounds like Emma's figurine has been a long time coming with Madame Tussauds spokesperson Nicole Fenner revealing that  "Emma has been one of the most requested wax figurines for a while now, along with One Direction."

Althought Emma burst onto screens as Hermione when she was just 11 the actress has made sure her star power has lasted with a string of big screen roles as well as her statue as a style icon.

"People really want to see her as she is now. Since Harry Potter, her popularity has increased on an international scale. We have people from all over the world asking for her. Interest in her is only going to escalate," Fenner adds.

Emma's wax-a-like took four months to make, as sculptor Alex Carlisle meticulously aimed to recreate the actress' true likeness. As with all new figurines at Tussauds, a research team provided a mixture of red carpet shots, front and back, as well as recent film stills to help capture her exact proportions.

The sculptor was then given a brief with what the figurine should be wearing and what pose. The Elie Saab dress was chosen because it was thought to sum up the star's "playful and fun" nature. "The biggest challenge is recreating her expression, that sparkle," said Carlisle.

"It was important to have her looking beautiful. She has a lovely feel to her, so we had to find the right references. She has to be the correct size and height for it to look authentic."
