Completely dark, unlike red carpet at Oscars ceremony? (8)
I believe the answer is:
starless
'completely dark' is the definition.
'starless' can be an answer for 'dark' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'completely' bit.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for starless that I've seen before include "Dark" , "with nobody famous appearing" , "like a low-budget movie?" , "Like The Sky At Night, sometimes" , "Black" .)
