Radiant in a dazzling silver gown, the new U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, made a glamorous entrance on Sunday night at the Kentro Athinon, a popular live music venue in Athens. The occasion was a private musical event hosted by popular Greek singer Konstantinos Argiros in her honor.
The two first met at a charity gala in London, where Guilfoyle expressed her admiration for Argiros as an artist. Taking the stage briefly during the evening, the ambassador delivered a heartfelt message:
“I will not let down the United States, I will not let down Greece and the people who have welcomed me into their lives — people who cherish their faith, family, and freedom. All I’ll say is this: we’re just getting started.”
Among Guilfoyle’s distinguished guests were leading figures from politics and business, including Minister of Shipping Vassilis Kikilias, Minister of Tourism Olga Kefalogianni, Minister of Labor Niki Kerameus, and Christos Staikouras.

On Saturday, Nov. 1, Guilfoyle had attended a reception marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps, alongside Ministers Kikilias and Defense Minister Nikos Dendias.
