How it's used
Refers specifically to the mother of a famous person who often gains public attention or manages their child's career. It carries a slightly gossipy or media-focused tone, as it is frequently used in entertainment news to describe mothers who are actively involved in their child's spotlight. The term implies a certain level of public visibility for the mother herself, rather than just being a private parent.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a mother who is a celebrity herself; that would be a celebrity who is a mother, not a star mom.
