LONDON (AP) — A wax figure of Michelle Obama standing in the Oval Office has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds' London museum to mark the first anniversary of the inauguration of her husband, President Barack Obama.

The figure of the stylish first lady wearing a sleeveless purple dress and black sweater has been placed next to one of her husband in a recreation of the Oval Office.

Spokeswoman Liz Edwards says the figure of the U.S. president has been extremely popular and she expects the figure of the first lady to be a crowd pleaser as well.
