agree  Textklick: Indeed many. But given the context: 'described the commerical they had just seen for a specific shampoo' I'd say this is sufficient

or even possibly idolized (would fit if it's about a well-known personality)

given the new context, PONS would also work:
"...gaze adoringly at"

everybody's darling


Explanation:
Although "admire/worship" etc. are in themselves correct, I can't help thinking there's a better way of putting it, e.g. "the subject of (universal) xx" or "who enjoys yy"
Actually "everybody's darling" may not have the visual dimension that is evidently required here ...
