The last copy of the Chicago Daily News I picked up had three crime stories on its front page. But by comparison to the gaudy days, this is small-time stuff. Chicago is as full of crooks as a saw with teeth, but the era when they ruled the city is gone forever.

I don't know much about auctions. I sometimes go to previews and see art sardined into ugly rooms. I've gawked at the gaudy prices, and gaped at well-clad crowds of happy white people conspicuously spending hundreds of millions of dollars.

American Critic

Initially my makeup for the character of Ramola Sikand in TV serial 'Kahin Kisi Roz' raised eyebrows of many who were of the opinion that my looks were too gaudy. But soon I was appreciated by the viewers as well as the industry.

Bridget Marquardt

I see a lot of ugly rings on people and I think, eew, I wouldn't want that. Some of them are so gaudy with so many different diamonds on them. I'd want something very clean.

Robin Williams

I only ever play Vegas one night at a time. It's a hideous, gaudy place; it may not be the end of the world per se, but you can certainly see it from there.

American Comedian

Marc Jacobs

I want to see women in pantsuits or two pieces, even something a little bit gaudy. It's so much more exciting than just another nice dress.

Use 'gaudy' to describe items that grab attention due to their loud appearance, not just color.

Visual Impact

'Gaudy' often carries a negative meaning, implying poor taste or excessiveness.

Negative Nuance

'Gaudy' is unsuitable in formal contexts; it's common in casual conversation or critique.

Not for Formality

 So it's deceiving on two levels -- fabulous. Here we see ylang ylang, the component of many perfumes. I actually smelt someone with some on earlier. And the flowers don't really have to be that gaudy.
