featuring

With a starring

Featuring indicates that something or someone is included as a notable element or attraction.

A film featuring a famous actor highlights their presence; a menu featuring seasonal ingredients emphasizes them.

The word signals prominence without implying the featured element is the main focus: a concert featuring three opening acts, an article featuring interviews with local artists.
