glitterati

Once again, I'm faced with an embarrassment of riches and I have to choose among many good answers. I think most of them are valid, depending on the context.

For my particular context, I finally settled on "público glamouroso."

Vamos ver a decisão da Muriel. Já tem muitas sugestões. Se for o caso, eu publico.
Obrigado!

também voto em "chiques". Valia a pena publicar.

Good reference, Robert. It mentions "fashionable" and "glamorous" in the definition. I think the tabloids have a lot of say to the extent that not all socialites, "colunáveis", or celebrities are fashionable or glamorous. Some of them are pretty tacky actually. :-) A good translation has to contemplate the actual definition in order to be accurate.
Not even Lady Gaga was immune to the red carpet gossip: https://www.tvguide.com/news/oscars-2019-worst-dressed-stars...
In conclusion, this article on Variety.com refers to a "glittering array of chance to rub elbows with Oscar noms, studio chieftains..." "Glittering"/"fashionable"/"glamorous" are key to translating the phrase in question. https://variety.com/2004/film/awards/oscar-glitterati-toast-...

"pessoas abrilhantadas"? This is something that just occurred to me. I found one example on the website of Brazil's Senate: " Goiandira era uma dessas pessoas abrilhantadas pela mão do Criador." https://www.senado.leg.br/publicacoes/anais/pdf/Anais_Republ...

Although "abrilhantar" is not a very common word, this is exactly what it means:
Fig. Dar ou ter destaque, brilho; ORNAR http://www.aulete.com.br/abrilhantar

At least in PT-Br, "badalar" means something else. Among other things, it means "to attend an event to show (oneself) off" (see #4), "go out to have fun" (#5), or "brag" (#7). http://www.aulete.com.br/badalar It doesn't seem to be related to "glitter" (or "glittery") at all. I would focus on the ostentatious aspect of it. IMHO, a translation alluding to "glamour", "brilho", "chique" seems to be closer in meaning.

I tend to disagree with this one, Muriel. Badaladas (=spoken of, seen and mentioned a lot) is more like famous or popular than glamourous. Perhaps "chiques" or "chiquérrimas" would be another choice.

nos "links" que publiquei, tem várias opções de tradução, inclusive, "pessoas badaladas" no dicionário Babylon.

I like all your suggestions, particularly "badaladas". Would it work to say "pessoas badaladas e elegantes"?

06:46 Feb 26, 2019 

I would suggest "em trajes glamurosos" ou, mais informalmente "muito produzidos", but I'll wait for other suggestions, since I didn't even know this word before you showed it to me.

I'm looking for the meaning of 'glitterati', which refers to people. I didn't mean to imply that I wanted a translation of 'glitter'. What I need is a translation of the 'glitterati' concept of the élite dressed in fancy evening clothes.
