Kimberly Guilfoyle’s see-through gown at Greece Thanksgiving event sparks backlash

ATHENS, GREECE: US Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle sparked a wave of criticism after stepping out in a shimmering, fully see-through black gown at an official Thanksgiving event in Athens recently.

The 56-year-old former Fox News host, appointed by President Donald Trump earlier this year, spoke at the diplomatic dinner, but it was her outfit, not her remarks, that dominated global conversations overnight.

Guilfoyle, who was married to California Governor Gavin Newsom from 2001 to 2006 and later engaged to Donald Trump Jr., has become a prominent face of the new MAGA-era diplomatic corps abroad.

But much like other high-profile women in the administration, her fashion choices have become a recurring flashpoint, drawing as much attention as the policies she represents.

Sheer gown diverted attention from Kimberly Guilfoyle’s diplomatic remarks

Footage from the event circulating on social media shows Guilfoyle walking to the podium in a form-fitting black gown featuring long sleeves, a high neckline, glittering floral appliqués and a fully sheer base fabric that revealed her skin beneath the embellishments.

Her hair was left in loose waves and dramatic eye makeup completed the bold look.

While she appeared focused on addressing the room about US-Greece relations, the gown quickly stole the spotlight. Some attendees reportedly appeared surprised, while online users wasted no time weighing in.

Social media compared Kimberly Guilfoyle to Morticia and Elvira 

As reactions poured in, Guilfoyle was swiftly compared to several fictional dark-glam icons.

“How embarrassing… as a Greek American I feel slighted.. send a real Ambassador to solve real world issues.. Greece is potentially a trip wire to a world conflict. We need serious people to help navigate serious problems. They dumped her on Greece’s get her out of America” one user wrote.

While another joked, “My theory is that when Junior broke up with her, she said, "You'd better set me up in the Mediterranean or I'm spilling the beans." It's just a theory, but...”

Another comment read, “Good grief. This dress is inappropriate at a function where she’s representing the United States.”

Another wrote, "What on earth went through her head when she planned that outfit"

Another added, "Crazy. Obviously, being ‘qualified for the job’ was not one of the hiring criteria."

Elvira comparisons followed too, “Somebody should have told Elvira that Halloween is over!”

Another user commented, "Didn’t realize Morticia has been assigned that post."

Kimberly Guilfoyle’s public history fueled fresh scrutiny

Guilfoyle’s personal life has often shadowed her professional roles. In addition to her marriage to Newsom and her long public partnership with Trump Jr., she was also married to Eric Villency from 2006 to 2009, with whom she shares her son, Ronan Anthony Villency.

As she settles into her ambassadorial role in Greece, her fashion risks continue to overshadow her diplomatic messaging, and the commentary shows no sign of slowing down.
