Affectedly elegant is a term used to describe something that is overdone or overly showy, often in an attempt to appear sophisticated or refined. Synonyms for this term could include affectedly refined, pretentiously elegant, ostentatiously polished, or excessively graceful. Other synonyms might include grandiose, flamboyant, or showy, all of which imply an excessive or ostentatious style that may be intended to impress or dazzle others, rather than reflecting true elegance or refinement. Ultimately, any term that suggests an overly fussy or artificial sense of sophistication could be used as a synonym for affectedly elegant.
