Celebrity doppelgänger competitions appear to be the newest viral trend and Miami is next on the list! A Rauw Alejandro lookalike contest is scheduled for this Friday, November 22nd, according to a flyer being shared across social media.
It was originally posted to TikTok by user Emely Hernandez (@purplereign77), receiving over 185K views and 34K likes in less than 24 hours. This came about after proposing the idea of hosting the competition in a previous video, which got a response from Rauw himself!
“😂 lets goo,” his comment reads.
Friday’s contest will take place by the Tropical Park hill (7900 SW 40th St) at 2 p.m. The local who best resembles the Puerto Rican singer will reportedly win $500, but not just based off of looks alone. They’ll have to show off some their best moves to earn the title….
This all began with the very first lookalike contest in October for Timothée Chalamet in NYC, which received an appearance from Timmy himself! A string of similar competitions followed, such as Dev Patel lookalikes in San Francisco, Paul Mescal in Dublin, Harry Styles in London and even Jeremy Allen White in Chicago — all of which haven’t seen the stars themselves in attendance but have certainly drawn large crowds.
As for whether Rauw will show up to Miami’s contest, anything is possible but he’ll be performing at Mexico’s Coca-Cola Flow Fest on November 23rd.
