A devoted fan of Bad Bunny recently gained viral fame on social media for her elaborate Halloween display featuring a 12-foot skeleton adorned in Calvin Klein boxers. Kimmy Nguyen, the brains behind the eye-catching installation, has been flooded with positive feedback from fellow fans of the Puerto Rican superstar. The creative display, named “Bad Boney,” pays homage to some of Bad Bunny’s most memorable moments from 2025, including his Super Bowl halftime show announcement and his appearance in a viral Calvin Klein campaign.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Nguyen shared her inspiration and the meticulous effort that went into bringing her Halloween vision to life. As a fan of Bad Bunny, she felt compelled to honour him through her decorations, drawing inspiration from his latest album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.” With the help of her family, Nguyen meticulously recreated significant milestones from Bad Bunny’s career this year, ensuring each skeleton reflected a particular achievement or moment that resonated with fans of the artist.
Beyond celebrating Bad Bunny, Nguyen was also mindful of honouring Puerto Rican culture in her display. Despite not being Latina herself, she incorporated subtle nods to Puerto Rico throughout the installation. From painting pumpkins in light blue to symbolize the original Puerto Rican flag to including elements like plantains in the Super Bowl skeleton’s hands, Nguyen aimed to pay tribute to the island and Bad Bunny’s connection to his roots.
The attention to detail in Nguyen’s display didn’t go unnoticed, with many admiring her dedication to the theme and her sensitivity towards representing both Bad Bunny and Puerto Rico authentically. Despite initial concerns about whether non-fans would recognise the references in her decorations, Nguyen received a sign of approval when Bad Bunny was announced as the Super Bowl performer on the same night she unveiled her skeletons.
Nguyen’s commitment to her Halloween display extends beyond a simple tribute to Bad Bunny. She is using the platform to raise awareness for a fundraiser called Skeletons for St. Jude, aimed at supporting the fight against pediatric cancer. Visitors to her home can scan a QR code to donate to the cause, highlighting Nguyen’s desire to combine her passion for Halloween decor with a charitable endeavour.
As Halloween approaches, Nguyen plans to welcome around 500 guests to marvel at her creation, which includes surprises like a replica of “La Casita,” a symbolic house from Bad Bunny’s summer residency. Additionally, she has added a singing skeleton to emulate the experience of being at a Bad Bunny concert for those who missed out on his live performances.
Through her innovative Halloween display, Kimmy Nguyen has not only captured the essence of Bad Bunny’s artistry but has also demonstrated the power of creativity in paying homage to cultural icons. Her story serves as an inspiring example of how fans can express their admiration for their favourite artists while also giving back to those in need.
