outdressed
More stylishly clothed
Outdressed means dressed more impressively than someone else.
If you outdress the other guests at a party, your attire surpasses theirs in style, formality, or elegance: She completely outdressed everyone at the gala.
The term implies comparison—you can't be outdressed in isolation.
