star power
Famous person's allure
Star power is the magnetic appeal and commercial draw of a famous performer.
A celebrity with star power attracts audiences, sells tickets, and generates media attention simply by being attached to a project: The film's success owed more to her star power than to the script.
The term implies a quality beyond mere talent—an ineffable charisma that commands public fascination.
