showier
Gaudier than before
Showier is the comparative form of showy, describing something more ostentatious, flamboyant, or attention-grabbing than something else.
What's showier tends to be more elaborate, colorful, or designed to impress: Her dress was showier than anyone else's at the gala.
The word often carries a hint of excess or trying too hard, suggesting display for its own sake rather than substance.
