Heidi Klum's new wax lookalike replaces an earlier version of the supermodel that was created over eight years ago.

"I'm also getting older - thank you for renewing me," Klum said at the unveiling in Berlin on Sunday. "The hair color is just perfect."

Klum, who presents reality TV show "Germany's Next Topmodel," chose a red leather dress from the French brand Jitrois as her statue's outfit.

A team of London-based artists produced her wax twin over a period of six months, working from more than 200 measurements and 150 photographs.

Only German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Canadian popstar Justin Bieber have previously had second figures made for the Berlin museum.
