Data analysis using Partial Least Squares-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the analysis show that physical appearance and celebrity congruence have a significant positive effect on purchase intention. In addition, celebrity attractiveness and expertise also have a significant effect on celebrity identification.
