star dust
Celestial particle debris
Stardust is cosmic debris—the particles of matter scattered through space from which stars and planets form.
Figuratively, stardust evokes magic, romance, or dreamy enchantment: She had stardust in her eyes.
The word suggests something ethereal and transcendent, often applied to charisma or star quality: a performer sprinkled with stardust.
