Answer:
The figure of speech in this sentence is 'synecdoche'.
Synecdoche refers to a figure of speech that uses a word to describe something as a whole or vice versa. It is considered to be a classification of metonymy.
In the sentence, the phrase: 'All eyes' is used to describe the entire population present there, however only the 'eyes' is doing the work. 'Eyes' are just a part of a human but it is being used to represent an entire population of humans.
