00:00Kimberly Guilfoyle has made as many headlines for her outfits as for her political views
00:05and personal life, and we can't get over how outdated some of those choices were.
00:10If half a million examples are anything to go by, Guilfoyle loves a skin-tight mini-dress.
00:16While most of us consider this to be a look that's exclusively appropriate for a night out,
00:20Guilfoyle seems to think of it as the perfect go-to outfit for every day.
00:24This outfit Guilfoyle posed in for New Year's Day in 2024 might have looked fresh and stylish in
00:302010. Unfortunately, Guilfoyle didn't wear it in 2010. The bedazzled pattern looks tacky,
00:36and the over-the-knee boots just don't work with the rest of the look. Ditching the rhinestones
00:41and swapping the beige hue for a bold jewel tone would have improved the dress and given it a much
00:46more up-to-date feel. Guilfoyle's New Year's 2024 bedazzled mini-dress was far from an isolated
00:52incident. A year prior, in January 2023, she went for a similar, equally outdated look.
00:59She sported another long-sleeve mini-dress, this time with even more garish bedazzling.
01:04The busy pattern was comprised of glitzy martini glasses, a print she didn't just wear once,
01:09but twice. It popped up again a lighter shade of pink for Valentine's Day the following month.
01:15This dress' hue, fit, and copious rhinestones can't help but remind us of something Paris
01:19Hilton may have sported back in 2004. Once again, this look wasn't at all modern enough.
01:26In 2018, Guilfoyle attended a Social Life magazine event with her belly button fully
01:31exposed in a truly statement-making look. Even if low-rise pants weren't in fashion at the time,
01:36this outfit would still strike most people as bizarre. It's both business-casual and
01:41strangely revealing.
01:43This is a choice between safety or chaos.
01:47The silhouette of the pants and the extra-long statement necklace also helped to make this look
01:51feel like the ghost of trends past. Swapping the pants out for a wide-leg, high-waisted navy option
01:57and ditching the necklace would have actually turned this ensemble from outdated to chic
02:01and made her look fashion-forward.
02:04A blazer and jeans is a classic outfit combo, and it's a great choice for a football game.
02:09So we've got to give credit where credit is due for Guilfoyle's decision to don a casual blazer
02:14and denim to the 2020 Super Bowl. But even though it's a good idea on paper, she didn't quite pull
02:20it off in this instance. At this time, skinny jeans were already on their way out. Tucking them
02:25into boots exacerbates their skinny cut and makes them feel even more outdated than untucked skinny
02:30jeans. The jeans on their own felt like an outdated pick, but she took it a step further by
02:35pairing them with a long top and a chunky belt layered on top. This was a trend around 2007 and
02:412008, and just seeing it totally takes us back to that time. Ditching the belt and tucking the top
02:47into some high-rise, baggier fit jeans would have totally updated the look and made it feel fresh.
02:53Peplum is a style that's gone in and out of trend for decades. While the distinct ruffle
02:57around the waist has been around for as long as we can remember, at any given time, it's either
03:02very in or very out. The style was one of the biggest trends around 2010, but it seemed to go
03:08away just about as quickly as it arrived. Leave it to Guilfoyle to sport it a decade later.
03:13In 2020, Guilfoyle wore exactly the kind of tight peplum dress you might have seen on a Forever 21
03:19mannequin back in 2010. She sported the silhouette in a bold seafoam green while speaking at a
03:24campaign event for Donald Trump, and it wouldn't take someone who knows a lot about trend cycles
03:29to know that this stuck out like a sore thumb.
