Note celebrities distinguished by few features (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minimalist

'distinguished by few features' is the definition.
(with minimal features)

'note celebrities' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'minim' (type of musical note).
'celebrities' becomes 'alist' (A-list).
'minim'+'alist'='MINIMALIST'

(Other definitions for minimalist that I've seen before include "modern kind of composer" , "abstract art" , "artist" , "Deliberately simple or basic" , "least" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
