To outshine someone is to be better, brighter, or more impressive than they are, so that people's eyes go to you instead. The first, older picture is light: one lamp outshines another when it throws more light. Today the everyday use is about people and things: a singer outshines the rest of the show; a new phone outshines last year's model. It can be a compliment, but it can also sting — nobody loves being outshone. You can outshine a person, a performance, or even your own earlier work.
