The US Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, has captured attention with a striking new magazine cover, but the glamorous final image has raised eyebrows after she shared unedited behind-the-scenes clips from the photoshoot.
A Bridal-Inspired Cover Look
Guilfoyle, who was formerly engaged to Donald Trump Jr., graced the cover of Grace Magazine this month wearing a form-fitting white gown with distinct bridal overtones. The off-the-shoulder neckline was detailed with crystals, and she accessorised with dangling diamond earrings, a diamond bracelet, and a large ring. Her hair was swept up in a dramatic updo with face-framing strands, complemented by a smokey eye and a neutral lip.
Behind-the-Scenes Reveal on Instagram
This week, however, Guilfoyle posted candid shots from the shoot on her Instagram Stories, which presented a notably different appearance from the polished magazine cover. One clip showed a hairdresser meticulously perfecting her updo, while a close-up photo provided an intimate view of her makeup, highlighting the detail of her lip liner and the pink blush on her cheeks.
During the session, the ambassador also modelled a second outfit: a sequined gold dress adorned with silver stripes. For this look, she wore her hair down and accessorised with three strands of diamond-encrusted necklaces. The Daily Mail has contacted both Grace Magazine and Guilfoyle for comment regarding the discrepancies between the social media posts and the published images.
Diplomatic Posting and Personal Crossroads
The cover story emerges as Guilfoyle settles into her official role and residence. She was appointed as the Ambassador to Greece by President Donald Trump and is now living in the affluent Kolonaki district of Athens.
Her professional move coincides with significant personal developments for her ex-fiancé. Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. dated for six years from 2018 to 2024, having been engaged on New Year's Eve in 2020 before later calling off their relationship. Trump Jr. has since proposed to his new girlfriend, Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, just before Christmas.
Anderson was given an eight-carat emerald-cut diamond ring, designed by Dallas jeweller Sue Gragg. She expressed her joy at a recent holiday party, stating it was "the most unforgettable weekend" of her life. Guilfoyle has not publicly commented on her ex-fiancé's new engagement.
