Madame Tussauds announced Wednesday that Kamala Harris is going to have a wax figure, celebrating her 100th day in office.

Harris will be the first vice president of the United States to get the wax treatment. In addition, it will be joined by President Joe Biden.

“Kamala Harris made history when she was sworn in on January 20th becoming the first woman, first Black person and first Asian American vice president,” the museum said in a statement.

“Madame Tussauds New York is adding another first to Harris’ list of achievements by creating a wax figure in her likeness; an honor that has never-before been extended to a vice president,” the statement added.

In a press release, the finished sculptures will be displayed in the “Oval Office Experience” at Madame Tussauds New York. They are being crafted by a team in London.

The heads of the sculptures took six weeks to complete, and the bodies will require another four to six months. Interestingly, the wax figures will be wearing their Inauguration Day outfits.
