You are right Iman.

And unfortunately, ostentatious is not a noun, either. The nouns are: ostentation, showiness, pretension/pretentiousness, conspicuousness, and flamboyance.
None of those, however, refer to a person; they all refer to the quality or condition. The person is, quite appropriately but rather informally, called a show-off. Some more formal semi-synonyms are br

Hi,
The basic idea of 'a show-off' is that the person does things, shows things.
With some of these other terms, like 'braggart' and 'boaster', the basic idea is that the person says things.

"Show-off"
If you are using it in a more derogatory way, and not 100% parallel, "trying too hard".
"He's trying to hard (to impress those girls)."
