flamboyantly

In showy fashion

Flamboyantly describes doing something in a bold, showy, or extravagant manner that draws attention.

Someone dressed flamboyantly wears bright colors, dramatic patterns, or eye-catching accessories.

The word often suggests confidence and deliberate theatricality: He flamboyantly tossed his scarf over his shoulder before leaving.

While it can simply mean stylishly bold, flamboyantly sometimes carries connotations of effeminacy or queerness, particularly when applied to men's dress or behavior.
