Fans were seeing triple as they eagerly flocked to snap selfies, while José was able to take an up-close-and-personal look at all the electrifying details on each figure.
Madame Tussauds New York
J Balvin’s New York figure honors his 2021 Moschino Met Gala ensemble, consisting of an intricately embellished floral 3-piece suit meticulously replicated by Madame Tussauds to match the original set. With a striking bleach blonde buzz cut, this new figure takes visitors back to his unforgettable appearance at the pinnacle of fashion’s calendar.
At Madame Tussauds New York, the figure will live in the newly transformed Music room, part of a multimillion-dollar investment into the flagship attraction, which in recent years has included the expansion of the MARVEL Hall of Heroes, the new Warner Bros. Icons of Horror experience, and a complete reimagination of its party area full of A-Listers called the Glow Gala. Scheduled for completion this summer, the final phase of the Music area will introduce another to-be-announced figure of a globally beloved music icon.
In addition to J Balvin, other residents of the reimagined Music zone include Dua Lipa, Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion.

The Vegas figure embodies J Balvin’s “Vibras” ethos, dressed in an authentic GUESS outfit provided by José himself, originally worn during his 2019 Coca Cola Fest performance in Mexico City. Complete with a pair of his highly sought-after J Balvin x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Colores Y Vibras” sneakers from his collaboration with Nike, the figure is rocking J Balvin’s quintessential style from head to toe.
