The 19-year-old "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was honored with a statue Tuesday at the museum's Hollywood location. Jenner confirmed her figure sports the silver Balmain dress she wore to the 2016 Met Gala.

"thanks @tussaudsla for this amazing honor! go visit my girl tomorrow in Hollywood and see the actual dress I wore to the Met Gala last year!" she wrote on Instagram.

The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star followed up by posting a selfie with her statue. She told fans she pranked her family with the figure while attending the unveiling ceremony.

"I made her FaceTime my whole family .. fooled everyone," she wrote.

Jenner had shared several posts, including a photo of a paint palette, while posing for the figure in February. She responded on Snapchat after critics accused her of darkening the skin tone for her statue.

"I'm not trying to make my wax figure darker than I am, you [expletive] idiots," the star said.

"They were mixing all those colors on a palette, not me. Stop reaching," she added. "I don't even have a say in this, so leave it to the professionals, people!"

Music superstar Beyonce also made headlines for her wax figure this week after her statue was moved to Madame Tussauds in New York.
