Wait to follow soprano with lots of celebrities (6)

I believe the answer is:

starry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'of celebrities' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wait to follow soprano' is the wordplay.
'wait' becomes 'tarry' (to tarry is to wait or linger).
'to follow' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go after or follow others).
'soprano' becomes 's' (musical abbreviation).
'tarry' after 's' is 'STARRY'.

'with lots' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for starry that I've seen before include "Of celebrities" , "Heavenly" , "Stellate" , "Like a clear night sky" , "Like unclouded night" .)
