bling out
Drape in jewels
To bling out is to adorn something with flashy, ostentatious decoration—typically jewelry, rhinestones, chrome, or other shiny embellishments: She blinged out her phone case with crystals.
The phrase emerged from hip-hop culture, where bling refers to expensive, attention-grabbing accessories.
A blinged-out car or outfit is heavily decorated to the point of excess.
