star-struck
Awed by fame
Star-struck describes being so awed by a celebrity or famous person that you become nervous, tongue-tied, or deferential in their presence.
The metaphor suggests being dazed as if struck by a celestial body: I was completely star-struck when I met her.
Extended to any overwhelming admiration: star-struck fans waited outside the stadium.
