celebrity appearance

Famous person showing

A celebrity appearance is when a famous person shows up at an event, venue, or production—often briefly and for promotional purposes.

Celebrities make appearances at store openings, charity galas, talk shows, or in cameo roles: The club paid fifty thousand for a celebrity appearance by the reality star.

The term often implies the celebrity's presence is the draw, regardless of whether they do much.
