bedazzlements
Gaudy sparkly additions
Bedazzlements are things that dazzle or overwhelm with brilliance, spectacle, or glamour.
The word suggests being captivated or enchanted by something flashy or impressive: the bedazzlements of celebrity culture, immune to the bedazzlements of wealth.
It can carry a hint of superficiality—sparkle that distracts from substance.
