Kimberly Guilfoyle, who delivered a fiery speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention, has certainly transformed over the years. Before she was an attorney, outspoken Fox News host, advisor to President Donald Trump, or Donald Trump, Jr.'s girlfriend, Guilfoyle had humble, middle-class beginnings.

Growing up in the mission district of San Francisco, California with an Irish father and a Puerto Rican mother, there was nothing Guilfoyle couldn't do. As she told SF Gate in 2001,

"I remember feeling safe and happy and like there was nothing in the world a boy could do that a little girl couldn't...and that has carried over all my life."

Today, it seems there's nothing the hungry-eyed Guilfoyle hasn't done. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from UC Davis and received her law degree from the University of San Francisco. Guilfoyle even modeled for Macy's and Victoria's Secret while nabbing that advanced degree. In reminiscing about her modeling days, Guilfoyle told Cosmopolitan,

"I was able to meet a tremendous [number] of interesting people through modeling, and I really learned a lot about self-confidence and self-esteem."

However, the prosecutor didn't gain public notoriety until she married would-be mayor, and current California governor, Gavin Newsom in 2001, becoming the first lady of San Francisco. While the couple split just four years later, as Guilfoyle opted to pursue her career in television, she soon became a Fox News mainstay, appearing on multiple shows, including The Five. And in 2018, she started dating Donald Trump Jr.

But how did this former on-air personality transform from rookie lawyer to rising Republican figurehead? Well, if you look at photographs from her past and present, it's easy to see that Kimberly Guilfoyle's rise to fame has changed both her appearance and energy. Just look at how her style has evolved between 2007 and 2020.

She might've started her career as the Los Angeles deputy district attorney, but Guilfoyle clearly emerged from behind her metaphorical curtain as she literally took center stage at the 2020 Republican National Convention to deliver her impassioned speech in support of President Donald Trump's re-election campaign.

Guilfoyle's RNC speech, in fact, was likely her most notable political moment to date. Her intense, six-minute oration garnered plenty of buzz, especially for its conclusion. While throwing her hands in the air and punctuating each word, Guilfoyle shouted:

"Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and liberty and the American dream, the best is yet to come!"

For the driven Guilfoyle, that last statement might also apply to her professional life. But, in the meantime, Donald Trump, Jr.'s girlfriend isn't letting the haters bother her. As Guilfoyle told Mediaite in 2015:

"I've been in a lot of tough businesses: First Lady of San Francisco, working as a model, actress, TV host...You better have thick skin, for sure, but you also need to laugh at yourself."

We're sure this isn't the last time Guilfoyle will make a splash on the national stage!

Although her public persona is fiery and fashion-forward, like the fact that she once admitted having 500 pairs of shoes, Guilfoyle is way more low-key behind the scenes, especially as a mom. After divorcing from Newsom in 2005, Guilfoyle wed interior design mogul Eric Villency.

Though that second marriage didn't work out either, with the pair splitting in 2009, they co-parent son Ronan Anthony Villency together. And when Guilfoyle is with her son, she dresses way more casually. She also appears to tone down her makeup, opting for less lipgloss and mascara, as well as forgoing waves in her hair.

Not only is Guilfoyle's fashion more chill when she's at home, but she also seems to showcase a softer side than her on-stage image. In May of 2020, Guilfoyle wrote on Instagram:

"I'm thinking about how blessed I am and lucky that God gave me my greatest treasure...you Ronan."

She's even on good terms with her ex-husband, calling Villency a, quote, "great father" on the platform. As for Kimberly's parenting skills, one of her friends had this to say to Metropolitan Magazine,

"Kimberly is loyal, generous, and an amazing mom...Ronan is so sweet-natured, and he really looks up to his mother and father."

Now that Donald Trump Jr. is in the picture, appearing in snaps with Guilfoyle and her son, a blended Trump family may be in the works.
