star-studded + [noun]: the event or production itself

用法筆記

Most often appears before a noun describing a formal or celebratory occasion (gala, ceremony, premiere, banquet, cast). Avoid using it to describe the night sky — that meaning is literal and not idiomatic.

常見錯誤

❌The night sky was star-studded last night near the farm.
✅The film's cast was star-studded, featuring three Oscar winners.
💡'star-studded' in modern English is almost always figurative (many famous people), not literal (many stars in the sky).
