Watch: US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle’s sheer dress at diplomatic gathering draws outrage; netizens slam Trump Jr.’s ex: ‘she represents our country, not her body’

The new United States Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has become the most talked-about figure at an event organized for Thanksgiving Day by the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce. The attention this time went not to her speech but to her outfit, a transparent dress with exquisite details, which many considered too provocative for an official diplomatic gathering.

Social media was divided into two parts: some praised her for her confidence and style, while others argued that a US ambassador should not appear in such an outfit at formal events, calling it a violation of protocol.

A bold fashion statement under the spotlight

Guilfoyle entered the event wearing a full-length black lace dress that was semi-transparent and body-hugging, complete with full sleeves and a collared neckline. A skin-tone bodysuit underneath offered minimal coverage, and the sheer fabric was accentuated by the bright stage lights as she stepped up to the podium. For someone returning to diplomatic prominence, the attire signaled a dramatic and unmistakably glamorous approach.

Critics call the outlook ‘embarrassment’

Reaction to Kimberly Guilfoyle’s appearance was sharply divided online, with many critics arguing that her outfit was inappropriate for a US ambassador at a formal diplomatic event. One user wrote, “this outfit is an embarrassment,” adding that as a lawyer she “should understand about professional attire.” Others echoed similar sentiments, saying she needed “a stylist” or that the dress appeared too provocative for the setting. Another user commented, “She represents our country, NOT her body.” Some insisted the look resembled lingerie, while others argued that it distracted from the seriousness of her role.

Counter criticism

However, several users defended Guilfoyle, countering that the criticism was exaggerated and misplaced. Supporters pointed out that the dress was not actually sheer, noting that “there is a lining underneath” and that it was likely a black lace mesh over a tan bodycon dress — “NOT over bare skin in Kim Kardashian style.” Some praised her confidence and appearance, with one user saying, “When you got it you got it,” while others argued that the outrage was unwarranted and driven by personal bias rather than the outfit itself.
