Stars replace the eyes entirely on the star-struck emoji, a wide grin underneath expressing awe, excitement, or infatuation. It's used when something (or someone) is dazzling, amazing, or leaves you starry-eyed with admiration, from a stunning photo to an exciting piece of news.
What 🤩 means
The Star-Struck emoji is a yellow face with a broad grin adorning just the upper teeth and huge stars for eyes. These stars can vary in color across different platforms.
Nonetheless, the Star-Struck 🤩 emoji emotes being 'starry-eyed' about something fascinating, amusing, incredible, and similar superlatives. You can carry out your own rocketman feels with this emoji!

What does 🤩 mean from a girl?
Genuinely impressed or full-on smitten — the star eyes are big, unguarded excitement, whether the target is a person, an outfit, or good news. It's less subtle than 😍 and reads as pure delight.
What does 🤩 mean from a guy?
Real enthusiasm, often about someone or something he's excited to show off — a new car, a win, a crush's photo. It's a step past impressed and into starstruck for real.
What does 🤩 mean in texting?
Awe and excitement, dialed way up. "You look 🤩" is a bigger compliment than "you look nice" — it's the emoji equivalent of jaw hitting the floor in a good way.
