star spangled

Covered with stars

Star spangled means decorated or covered with stars, typically describing a banner or flag adorned with star shapes.

The term is most familiar from "The Star-Spangled Banner," the U.S. national anthem, which references the American flag.

More broadly, it evokes patriotic American imagery: a star-spangled celebration, star-spangled rhetoric.
