swaggeringly
In strutting fashion
In a manner showing bold self-confidence or arrogant pride.
Someone who walks swaggeringly moves with an exaggerated strut meant to impress or intimidate: He swaggeringly approached the bar and ordered for the whole table.
The word often suggests the confidence is performed rather than earned.
