Hollywood royalty Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling have been in Aotearoa for nearly two days, and have been greeted with a traditional Kiwi greeting - a pōwhiri and karakia.
They're in Queenstown and are taking some time out before filming around Wanaka for the Disney movie A Wrinkle in Time.
Director Ava DuVernay shared an instagram photo of the group enjoying the greeting.
"Welcomed with a Powhiri. Blessed with a Karakia. United with a Haka. Grateful to the Maori people, Tangata Whenua, for receiving us so warmly. Thank you! #WrinkleinTime," she said.
Reese also took to Facebook to reveal some activities on her list during her stay.
