Kimberly Guilfoyle is receiving backlash online for wearing a black dress to Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos' wedding over the weekend.

Donald Trump's daughter, 29—whom he shares with ex-wife Marla Maples—wed the business executive, 25, on Saturday, November 12, at the former president's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Although Hurricane Nicole threatened to delay the nuptials, Trump, 76, confirmed the event went ahead as planned.

"She and Michael are a beautiful couple who will be very happy together," he said of his fourth child and her now-husband in a post on Truth Social. "A big thank you and congratulations to Tiffany's mother, Marla, on the bringing up of a really great daughter!"

Guilfoyle, 53, was an advisor to Trump's 2020 presidential campaign and is the fiancé of Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. She previously worked as a host on the Fox News weekend show The Lineup.

After photos from the couple's big day started to make the rounds on social media, countless people blasted Guilfoyle's somber look.

"I'm sorry, but who wears black to a wedding?" Jon Cooper, former Suffolk County legislator and major fundraiser for former President Barack Obama, tweeted. At the time of publication, the comment racked up over 22,000 likes.

"Kim wearing black to a wedding? Ladies is that unusual? I mean I'm no fashionista by any stretch, but that seems strange even to me," someone else wrote in a comment, which garnered nearly 300 likes.

"Black is a sign of mourning and is inappropriate at a wedding unless the bride chooses it as part of the look wanted," a third added, while a fourth poster said, "Was she also attending a funeral afterwards? Just saying.....WTF, BLACK AT A WEDDING, SO DISRESPECTFUL!"

"Why is Kimberly Guilfoyle wearing black to a wedding? Yikes," another chimed in.

Newsweek reached out to Guilfoyle's representative for comment.

The backlash comes after Melania Trump was criticized for appearing to wear white to the same wedding.

Melania Trump, who has been married to Donald Trump since 2005, wore a floor-length, cream-colored dress to Tiffany Trump and Buolos' big day. Though it wasn't pure white like the bride's glittering gown, people still slammed her outfit choice on social media.

"Melania wears white to Tiffany's wedding, AN ABSOLUTE NO NO. And Lara wearing her dress for the VMAs? Certainly not someone's wedding," one person wrote, referring to Lara Trump's glittering number with unusually long sleeves.

Another, meanwhile, said, "Melania's dress is wayyyyy too close to white to be kosher...,"

Melania Trump has not spoken out about the backlash.
