flaunt
Exhibit with pride
Flaunt means to display something ostentatiously, usually to provoke admiration or envy: She flaunted her new diamond ring, He likes to flaunt his wealth.
The word implies showing off deliberately rather than simply being visible.
Flaunt is often confused with flout (to openly disregard), but they're distinct: you flaunt possessions, you flout rules.
