She is also the first woman in her profession to join this Parisian institution.
The Grévin Museum, famous for immortalizing the significant figures of our time, has just revealed a new wax statue. And this time, it is neither a movie star, nor a top athlete, nor a politician, but a personality who owes his rise to the Internet. An influencer and entrepreneur who has been able to redefine codes and establish herself as an essential figure in fashion and pop culture.
If the museum has already welcomed digital celebrities like Squeezie in 2022, this appointment brings a new and feminine touch to this universe still largely dominated by male figures. The person concerned, followed by millions of fans, is the second web personality to join this institution, and the first woman. To celebrate this announcement, the star of the day opted for a presentation as original as her career. On her YouTube channel, followed by several million subscribers, she shared a video full of surprises. The idea? Invite your friends to a giant game of hide and seek at the Grévin Museum. Between bursts of laughter and suspense, the adventure takes an incredible turn when it brings everyone together in front of an imposing curtain.
When it falls, the effect is immediate: a life-size wax statue is revealed, wearing a chic gray suit and sporting iconic curly hair. The resemblance is striking. To highlight the importance of this moment, the young woman appeared in the video dressed exactly like her wax double, creating a mise en abyme that fascinated her fans. On Instagram, where she regularly shares notable moments from her career, she also published a photo of herself proudly posing next to the statue. In the caption, a touching message: “For almost ten years, I have been told that this profession is not one […] I never chased eternity but now I find myself with a statue that will smile on passers-by for years to come.” She ends with a moving dedication to her parents: “Dad, Mom: it’s for you.” A statement that sounds like revenge for the criticisms that have marked his career.
Known for her content around fashion, lifestyle and travel, she has captivated a young and passionate audience. Her famous “August vlogs”, where she documents her daily life with sincerity and humor, have become cult. You guessed it, it’s Léna Situations.
At only 27 years old, this Parisian influencer has become an essential figure of her generation. Her YouTube debut dates back to 2010, and since then, she has continued to reinvent herself. Today, she joins the Grévin Museum, a consecration for the one who was able to prove that digital professions have real legitimacy.
