adorned
Made more beautiful
Adorned means decorated or embellished—made more attractive by adding something: a dress adorned with lace, walls adorned with paintings.
The word suggests deliberate beautification rather than mere attachment.
Something adorned has been enhanced for aesthetic effect.
People adorn themselves with jewelry; buildings are adorned with ornamental details.
