Kimberly Guilfoyle divided fans with the denim mini dress she wore while attending the U.S. Embassy’s Independence Day reception in Athens, with some critics branding the look “tacky” and begging her to “get a stylist.”
The 57-year-old U.S. Ambassador to Greece appeared in Instagram photos and videos from the reception, held at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens, where politicians, business leaders, diplomats, and other dignitaries gathered to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. The reception highlighted the close ties between the United States and Greece, and marked one of Guilfoyle’s first major diplomatic events in her new role.
Her outfit quickly sparked debate online, with many critics arguing that the dress was far too casual and revealing for an ambassador at an official engagement. Others, however, said they liked Guilfoyle personally but felt she should adopt a more polished and professional style now that she is serving in such a high-profile diplomatic position.

Kimberly Guilfoyle Wears A Denim Mini Dress At US Embassy's Independence Day Reception In Athens
For the event, Kimberly wore a fitted denim mini dress featuring thick shoulder straps, vertical buttons, and a super-daring plunging neckline. The figure-hugging teeny tiny dress was paired with matching blue wedges and a chunky gold choker necklace.
She completed the look by wearing her brunette hair in her signature long, center-parted down do with soft waves. Her makeup was equally glamorous, featuring smoky eyes, defined brows, bronzed cheeks, and a glossy nude lip.
Fan Comments
The outfit quickly became a talking point on Instagram, where many users criticized her fashion choice and questioned whether it was appropriate for an official diplomatic event. Spoiler alert: most of them said it was *not* appropriate!
"What is she wearing?" asked one Instagram user. "The wrong thing!" replied a second, adding: "She needs a stylist to do a complete overhaul, makeup included."
"Tragic outfit," slammed a third, as a fourth thought she "always looks cheap," and a fifth said she was wearing an "inappropriate dress." "Totally inappropriate clothing. She always misses the mark," echoed a sixth, as a seventh concurred: "Kimberly, it's not the time to wear that dress. Bad choice."
"Show some class and dress accordingly," begged an eighth, as a ninth said: "She's an ambassador for the United States and she's wearing a dress made for a 15-year-old." "Still dressing like you're a teenager? Grow up Kimberly" exclaimed a tenth, followed by two thumbs down emojis.
"I like her very much but she needs to tone down the dress, hair and makeup," thought an eleventh, who was seemingly a fan of Kimberly but not the clothes. "I'm a Republican through and through but man, she needs a makeover in the worst way. This is not acceptable," a twelfth added, as a thirteenth concluded: "Kimberly you're beautiful but that dress is terrible."
