Starlight saw what Seven was trying to do and a part of her approved. She didn't want a bloodbath, not here. Not after finally finding a new place to live and not in public where so many could see. She worked best from distraction and through infiltration, not in open combat. She raised her hands to gesture for peace to the crowd. Having her hands high meant she could go for the poisoned needles in her hair if Seven's attempt failed. She didn't want to fight but that didn't mean she wasn't capable of it. Just ask Oasis Willow.
