Kimberly Guilfoyle, the United States ambassador to Greece, experienced a precarious moment while boarding a luxury boat in Mykonos, Greece, on Saturday. The former Fox News host, dressed in a flowing white lace maxi dress, nearly lost her balance due to her towering 6.5-inch Valentino platform heels, estimated to be worth over $1,000.
Security officers and aides quickly reacted to prevent Guilfoyle from falling into the Aegean Sea. After a brief moment of instability, she regained her footing and continued onto the vessel with composure.
Guilfoyle's arrival in Mykonos, an island known for its luxury resorts and as a popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers, drew attention. The incident occurred just weeks after she officially began her diplomatic post in Athens. She was appointed by former President Donald Trump to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Greece.
Guilfoyle, who has previously stated she owns around 500 pairs of high-end shoes, had her extensive collection stored in floor-to-ceiling shelves in her New York apartment. Her career has seen her transition from a prosecutor in California to a television personality on Fox News before becoming a prominent supporter and surrogate for Donald Trump.
She began dating Donald Trump Jr. in 2018. The couple became a high-profile couple within the Republican Party, often appearing together at campaign events and political functions. Trump Jr. proposed to Guilfoyle by the end of 2020, but the engagement did not proceed to marriage.
Despite the reported end of her engagement to Trump Jr., Guilfoyle remained a close ally of Donald Trump. Her appointment as ambassador to Greece signifies continued trust from Trump, placing her in a strategically important diplomatic role in the eastern Mediterranean.
Since taking up her post in Athens, Guilfoyle has been balancing her diplomatic duties with appearances at various events in Greece.
