What does the expression "Crow in peacock feathers" mean? and got the best answer

Answer from Nina Duke[guru]
The great Russian artist V. Serov has a drawing - an illustration for one of I. A. Krylov’s fables. Three proud peacocks with surprise and mockery look at the strange figure huddled between them: a crow on short legs, behind whose frail body stretches a long, but tattered and, as if masquerade, peacock tail.
Sticking her tail with a peacock feather, Crow and Peahens went for a walk arrogantly...
Nothing good came out of the crow's invention, according to the fabulist. The fashionable crow was not successful.
And her plans ended with the fact that she fell behind the Crows and did not stick to the Peahens...
The history of this figurative expression goes back many centuries. Already the ancient Roman comedian Lucian says! "The jackdaw decorates himself with other people's feathers." The “peacock feathers” of the ill-fated crow are often mentioned in medieval fables and parables. In the old days, a “crow in peacock feathers” usually meant a arrogant upstart, a person trying to penetrate a social circle that was alien to him and “higher.” Now we call this those who want to seem better, smarter than they are.
Such a person, as they also say, “dresses himself in someone else’s feathers,” and therefore looks funny and pitiful.

Reply from Elena Badareu[guru]
A poor, worthless person who wants to look better, smarter, more beautiful, taller in the eyes of society social status etc.

And her plans ended with
That she fell behind the Crows,
But she didn’t bother the Peahens.
Allegorically about a person who is trying to play someone else’s role, to embellish himself in some way and thereby only emphasizes his shortcomings, becoming funny in the eyes of others (ironically).
