Donald Trump Jr’s ex, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has sparked a wave of criticism over her choice of attire at a recent Thanksgiving event.
The former Fox News personality, who is now the US Ambassador to Greece, donned a black lace dress for the formal gathering, which was held by the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce in Greece.
Many found the semi-transparent gown, which had a collared neckline and full sleeves, revealing, even though it had a skin-tone layer underneath.

Who is Kimberly Guilfoyle?
Guilfoyle, 56, is a prominent American diplomat, media personality, and former prosecutor.
Before her current role as Ambassador to Greece, she was known for her work as a Fox News anchor.
She has also had high-profile relationships, having been married to California Governor Gavin Newsom from 2001 to 2006, and to businessman Eric Villency from 2006 to 2009. The pair share a son named Roman.
In a birthday post dedicated to Ronan in 2023, Guilfoyle called him “the most beautiful blessing," adding: “You are my life and my most enduring love. You have grown into such an accomplished & altruistic young man. We could not be more proud of you. Cannot wait to celebrate you - today and always."

Most recently, she was engaged to Donald Trump Jr. from 2021 until their split in 2024.
Earlier this year, she was appointed by former President Donald Trump as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece, a position that has seen her represent the United States at international events and official gatherings abroad.
The Controversial Dress
Guilfoyle's choice at a formal dinner in Greece, which was attended by diplomats and other dignitaries, raised eyebrows.
While the dress was undeniably elegant, its semi-transparent nature caused discomfort among some, who believed it was not appropriate for the occasion, especially considering her role as a U.S. Ambassador.
After footage of Guilfoyle speaking at the podium went viral, social media quickly exploded with reactions.
One user remarked: "Interesting attire for a US Ambassador at a formal occasion," while another questioned: "What's with the outfit? It looks like something you'd wear to do a duet with Cher, not to host a Thanksgiving dinner as the US Ambassador to Greece."
A third user chimed in: "This is a US ambassador to a European country," and a fourth wrote: “Why is she dressed like she ‘bout to hit da club ? It’s SO f***ing unprofessional."
Further criticism followed, with one social media user adding: “Good grief. This dress is inappropriate at a function where she’s representing the United States.”
