Singer Cheryl Cole is the latest star to be honoured with her own wax replica figure by famous museum Madame Tussauds.
The singer unveiled her wax statue worth $237,660 Wednesday here.
"I can't explain how strange it is! It will take a little while to take in," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.
The waxwork reflects Cheryl's glamourous look and is styled in a specially-created scarlet floor-length Jean-Paul Gaultier dress with heels. The model also has the 27-year-old pop star's trademark flowing locks and can be seen posing with hands on hips.
The wax figure has been placed in the A-list party area which includes doubles of Dame Helen Mirren, Robert Pattinson and Russell Brand.
"As the reaction of the public here today confirms, Cheryl is one of Britain's hottest celebrities and we're delighted to welcome her to Madame Tussauds London," said Liz Edwards, public relations manager at Madame Tussauds.
"We've been inundated with requests to feature her figure in the attraction and we expect it to quickly become one of the most popular here. Like the real Ms Cole, the figure is a knock out and will fit in perfectly with the glamorous line-up of stars in our A-List party area," she said.
Singer Cheryl Cole has retained her crown as the world's best dressed woman in a poll by the UK magazine, while Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham have slipped down the list.
Cheryl has recently sported a series of figure hugging outfits with short, neat skirts, or cut away harem pants, accessorised with hats, as she promoted her new solo material, contactmusic.com reports.
Following Cheryl stood singer Rihanna on second place while actress Blake Lively came third. The poll was held by British edition Glamour magazine.
Newcomers to the list include Lady Gaga, Florence Welch, Pixie Lott, Leona Lewis and Kristen Stewart.
Robert Pattinson was named the best dressed man by the magazine while Katie Price was named worst dressed woman and alongside with her husband Alex Reid, the worst dressed couple.
Actress Megan Fox has topped Heat magazine's ‘Most Envied Bodies 2009’ list. The Transformers star was followed by Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, who came second.
"We've always known that Megan Fox is a hit with men, but we were surprised at how quickly she has made an impact on women- they consider her to have the most covetable celebrity body,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Julian Linley, editor of the magazine, as saying.
But despite having the most desired body, Megan apparently has a phobia of looking at herself, telling Film.com, "I usually don't watch myself, I don't watch playback, I don't look at still photos, I have a phobia of it."
Julian Linley added, "It's really refreshing to see Cheryl Cole beating curvy bikini goddess Kelly Brook to second place, and for the Brits to make the top ten, alongside Jennifer, Angelina, Beyonce and co."

Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole was left 'absolutely terrified' after she was bitten on the lips by a female fan. Cole, 25, was posing for photos outside her hotel when a teenager lunged at her, and as per witnesses the X Factor judge looked "petrified" when the incident occurred.
A security guard shoved the hysterical fan, who wore a brace on her teeth, out of the way and whisked the singer into the hotel. "I kissed Cheryl, I kissed Cheryl" the Sun quoted the fan as shouting, not realising she had accidentally bitten Cole.
The incident happened as the girl group arrived back at the Malmaison Hotel, Belfast, after a show on their Out Of Control tour at the Odyssey Arena, and about 30 fans were waiting to meet the girls. "This girl was hysterical and totally obsessed with Cheryl," a witness said.
"She lunged at her and her brace must have nicked her lip. Cheryl Cole looked absolutely terrified. The band's security manager said Cheryl had been hurt and was shaking," the witness stated.
Moments later Nadine Coyle, 23, stepped off the tour bus Ready to chat with fans, but she also was swiftly ushered into the hotel by security. "Nadine didn't know what had happened. It had left Cheryl petrified," another witness said.
"Cheryl was left shaken. As a result the girls have been more cautious greeting fans," a Girls Aloud spokeswoman added.
