A born rich person does not need to show off. They also have rich friends for whom what she is wearing is nothing special, so she does not need to take it off to show it to them. The ones who we are afraid will take it off are those that have an inferiority complex who want to show how rich they really are but truly are not that rich.
As Yaakov Avinu told his sons למה תתראו not to show off when they don’t really have.
