bedazzle

Overwhelm with brilliance

To bedazzle is to dazzle thoroughly—to impress or enchant someone with brilliance or showiness: She bedazzled the crowd with her performance.

The word also means to decorate lavishly with rhinestones, sequins, or glitter, after the Bedazzler crafting tool that attaches such ornaments: a bedazzled denim jacket, bedazzled phone cases.
