What does ostentatiously mean?

"Ostentatiously" means in a showy or pretentious way, designed to impress or attract attention.

Think of it like someone trying to stand out from the crowd in a way that's a bit over-the-top.

Here are some examples:

* She ostentatiously displayed her expensive jewelry.

* He wore a bright red suit ostentatiously, hoping to be noticed.

* The new CEO arrived in a limousine, ostentatiously making his entrance.

Essentially, it's about doing something in a way that screams, "Look at me!"
