The U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, made a noteworthy appearance at the 2025 Wags to Riches Gala, drawing attention both in person and across social media platforms.
Held on March 22 at Mar-a-Lago, the high-profile gala was hosted by Furry Friends, a nonprofit animal rescue organization based in Jupiter, Florida. Guilfoyle, 56, made an impression with her elegant black gown, sparking a wave of commentary online. The former prosecutor and television personality, once engaged to Donald Trump Jr., opted for a floor-length ensemble featuring a plunging neckline, sheer lace detailing, and a feathered skirt.
A close-up of her gown, shared in videos from the event, highlighted the intricate design and her bold choice of accessories. Her voluminous brunette waves complemented the dramatic look, while a statement necklace emphasized the neckline. Footage showed her mingling with guests and enjoying the festivities, showcasing a poised and confident demeanor.
A video posted by fashion designer Oscar Lopez gave viewers a glimpse of the event’s ambiance, from opulent décor to scenes of Guilfoyle dancing and socializing. During the evening, she received the CIGO award for her support of animal welfare causes.
“Congratulations to my friend @kimguilfoyle for receiving the CIGO award at the Furry Friends Animal Rescue Gala at Mar a Lago last night!”
wrote investigative journalist Laura Loomer, who also noted Guilfoyle’s continued advocacy for animal rescue efforts in South Florida.
Actor Kelsey Grammer was also in attendance, wearing a maroon-checkered tuxedo jacket and adding to the gala’s star-studded guest list. Online reactions to Guilfoyle’s appearance were mixed—many praised her refreshed look, while others speculated about cosmetic procedures.
“She has a much softer look to her and she is gorgeous,”
one user wrote, while another commented,
“She looks much healthier, thank God. Being with Jr was going to kill her [sic].”
Some questioned if her new appearance marked a significant change post-breakup.
On Facebook, commentary was more divided, with remarks such as,
“She was beautiful before she had all that work done,”
and
“Too much Botox and injections [sic].”
Others praised her for looking revitalized and strong.
Guilfoyle’s appearance at the event followed months after her confirmed split from Donald Trump Jr. The couple, who began dating in 2018 and got engaged in December 2020, reportedly ended their relationship in late 2024. Their breakup was confirmed in December, shortly after Trump Jr. was seen with Florida socialite Bettina Anderson.
Sources emphasized the amicable nature of the separation, adding that Guilfoyle maintains a strong relationship with the Trump family.
“She knew Donald before she knew Don Jr., and that connection is strong. So nothing has changed,”
one insider shared, highlighting her continued ties to the family despite the breakup.
Though described as “strong-willed” and “very direct,” Guilfoyle has remained active in political circles. In December 2024, she was appointed by President Trump as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece. Trump praised her qualifications in a Truth Social post:
“Kimberly is perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.”
Guilfoyle also updated her Instagram bio to reflect the appointment. Before her political role, she built a career as a TV host on Fox News, co-hosting The Five until her departure in 2018. Reports at the time linked her exit to ethical concerns over her relationship with Trump Jr., especially during her political commentary.
Following her media exit, she joined the Trump campaign and became involved in America First Policies, a nonprofit supporting Trump’s political agenda.
At the Wags to Riches Gala, Guilfoyle’s presence drew focus not only for her fashion but also for her ongoing influence in public service and charity. Her continued work in animal welfare and diplomacy reflects a new chapter post-engagement.
Meanwhile, Trump Jr.’s relationship with Bettina Anderson has become a focal point. Public sightings, including a hand-in-hand stroll in Palm Beach and her appearance at his father’s inauguration, have fueled speculation. Reports suggest that some in his circle are cautious about Anderson’s past political affiliations and her reputation in Palm Beach social scenes.
Described by friends as “smart, sexy, and savvy,” Anderson has been linked to several philanthropic causes, including mental health, conservation, and literacy. A Columbia University alumna, she runs BAE Ventures LLC, aligning business with environmental efforts.
Her social presence and romantic relationship with Trump Jr. have drawn admiration and critique alike. Some believe she’s a positive influence, while others raise concerns about her long-term intentions. Fashion designer Stacey Bendet defended her friend, stating,
“She is the kindest soul… witty and wise… and Don adores her for good reasons!!”
Despite contrasting opinions, their relationship appears to be deepening, with reports suggesting Trump Jr. is spending much of his time at Anderson’s townhouse.
While Guilfoyle steps confidently into her ambassadorial role and Trump Jr. navigates a new relationship, both remain under the lens of public curiosity, speculation, and media coverage—continually drawing attention in political, philanthropic, and social circles.
