The newly launched attraction at Star City gets the netizen talking thanks to its freshly unveiled celebrity-inspired figures.
A new attraction celebrating Filipino celebrities has officially opened at Star City. STARtista Gallery, a wax museum-style exhibit featuring life-sized statues of Filipino personalities, recently welcomed visitors with figures inspired by some of the country’s most recognizable names in entertainment, sports, and public life.
Among the celebrities featured in the gallery are Ashtine Olviga, Rhian Ramos, Bea Binene, Ara Mina, Wilbert Ross, Maui Taylor, and several other stars, giving fans an opportunity to see larger-than-life recreations of familiar faces up close.
The attraction joins Star City’s growing roster of immersive experiences and aims to spotlight notable Filipino figures through sculptural displays that visitors can pose and interact with.
But beyond the gallery itself, much of the conversation quickly spilled onto social media after photos from the attraction began circulating online.
Unsurprisingly, the internet had thoughts. Shortly after images of the exhibit surfaced, netizens began posting side-by-side comparisons, clever reactions, and tongue-in-cheek reactions to some of the celebrity figures.

The discussions quickly transformed STARtista Gallery from a newly opened attraction into one of the day’s most talked-about entertainment topics.
Despite the playful banters, many online users also commended the concept behind the project, noting the rarity of celebrity-focused attractions dedicated to Filipino personalities. Others expressed curiosity about which stars could eventually be added to the lineup in future expansions.
For now, STARtista Gallery has managed to achieve something every new attraction hopes to get people to look, react, and join the conversation. Whether visitors come for the celebrity statues, the photo opportunities, or simply to see the internet’s latest viral talking point for themselves, the exhibit is already making an impression.
