America’s newly appointed ambassador to Greece is stirring the diplomatic pot with plans for an extravagant debut that has some officials questioning the optics. The concern is whether such a lavish event sends an appropriate message to geopolitical rivals.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, previously engaged to Donald Trump Jr., is set to launch her diplomatic career with a splashy party. The event, hosted by Greek pop sensation Konstantinos Argiros, is scheduled to take place this Sunday, as revealed by leaked information obtained by the Daily Mail.

In a nod to high-profile connections, Guilfoyle will be traveling in style, catching a ride with billionaire Eric Vassilatos, a co-founder of Vivid Seats. The choice of venue, Kentro Athinon, is a popular dance club in downtown Athens where it’s customary for fans to shower performers with flowers, adding to the evening’s anticipated extravagance.

However, this showy entrance into the world of diplomacy has raised eyebrows among those involved in her transition from a MAGA figure to a more diplomatic role. A source familiar with the weekend’s plans expressed concern, telling the Daily Mail, “We look like a banana republic right now. You know Russia and China are looking at us like fools.”

The Nov. 2 event, scheduled for 9 p.m., asks attendees to RSVP to the U.S. Embassy in Athens.

The trio — who have been spotted partying together in London and Miami stoking speculation about their increasingly visible relationship — are evidently planning a whirlwind of glamorous events, from VIP parties at a club to sun–soaked yacht trips in the Aegean on Vassilatos’s yacht.

Guilfoyle’s friendship with Argiros first made headlines at a London charity gala for The Hellenic Initiative on Oct. 9, where she was pulled on stage to dance with the performer during his set.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Guilfoyle and the State Department for comment. They did not immediately respond. 

People close to Guilfoyle helping with her ambassadorial transition have privately expressed concern that her high-profile socializing with a CEO and Greek entertainer could undermine her credibility in the role.

Another source tells Daily Mail influential Greek–Americans are trying to play as ‘gatekeepers’ –– attempting to get close to the new ambassador.

‘They are trying to wiggle their way into her world since she is coming in fresh and naive with this level of status. Plus, she has an in with the president,’ a source close to Guilfoyle told Daily Mail. 

Greece’s new ambassador is scheduled to officially begin her duties next Tuesday after arriving in Athens –– when she will present her diplomatic credentials to Greek President Konstantinos Tasoulas.

Her debut engagement as ambassador is slated for November 6–7, when she will host a reception at the Zappeion in conjunction with the Transatlantic Energy Cooperation Forum. Among the reportedly expected attendees are US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Greece’s Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou.

Trump shut down the idea of the Vatican immediately, with one source describing it as ‘a non–starter.’

America’s new ambassador in Greece is planning a splashy headline-grabbing debut that has some diplomats questioning whether a lavish party sends the right message to America’s adversaries

‘There was no way they were going to give her the Vatican. It wouldn’t be a fit, for many reasons. She must have known that,’ one diplomatic source close to the conversation told the Daily Mail

‘She is better off in Athens, not Rome — but it’s still a plum assignment,’ one former administration official noted

Guilfoyle was not on the transition team’s final shortlist for Greece before Gor ‘worked quickly’ to insert her name as an alternative

The event at Kentro Athinon, a downtown Athens dance club where fans traditionally throw flowers at performers, has raised concerns among those helping with her transition from MAGA starlet to the sage diplomat

Sources close to the president say Sergio Gor, former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office and a close ally of Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr., pushed her for a diplomatic post. 

Guilfoyle was not on the transition team’s final shortlist for Greece before Gor inserted her name as an alternative.

A diplomatic source told the Daily Mail, ‘It came out of left field. There was no way they were going to give her the Vatican. It wouldn’t be a fit, for many reasons.’ 

Guilfoyle’s public persona and background would likely have raised eyebrows among Vatican officials, making the appointment unconventional and controversial in such a sensitive setting.

Guilfoyle said she never pursued the Vatican and is ‘very excited to be the first female ambassador to Greece.’
