WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- The wax figure of country music singer Carrie Underwood will be on loan from Madame Tussauds New York to the franchise's Washington location through January.
The wax museum said the Underwood sculpture went on display in Washington Thursday.
"Underwood was an enthusiastic participant in the creation of her wax figure, spending more than an hour with a team of Madame Tussauds studio artists, who flew out to Carrie on tour for the figure sitting," the museum chain said in a release. "Underwood generously donated a replica of the dress that she wore to the 2006 CMA Awards, when she was first named Female Vocalist of The Year, to Madame Tussauds for her figure to don. The dress was designed by Trish Townsend and constructed by Dez Zamek."
Underwood is slated to serve as co-host, along with Brad Paisley, of the 43rd annual CMA Awards show in Nashville Nov. 11. It will be the second year in a row the pair preside over the event.
