PLUS: James Franco 'continues to downplay' sexual misconduct

If you were hoping for an update on Rihanna's plans to release new music, sadly, I have nothing for you. Instead, Rihanna's wax figure at the Madame Tussauds Museum in Berlin, Germany, got a new look for Christmas, and it looks absolutely nothing like her! Yup, the figure resembles the singer about just as much as the prospects of new music.

Madame Tussauds wax museum in Germany has given its Rihanna figure an updated look for Christmas. The problem is the statue doesn't resemble the singer at all.
 

According to NME, the Berlin branch of the famous museum has a Christmas-themed Rihanna wax figure on display.
 

The singer's wax figure was first unveiled at Madame Tussauds in 2011, sporting short red hair, before getting an updated look. 
 

The Christmas-themed statue wears thigh-high white stockings and a red and white bodysuit.
 

Fans in the comments of a post shared on Twitter were just as taken aback by the figure and its lack of resemblance to Rihanna, with one urging the museum to "melt the wax and try again".
