Marina Squerciati, the 40-year-old star who portrays Detective Kim Burgess on Chicago P.D., captivated fans with a stunning lime green ensemble during a Moroccan getaway, shared on Instagram on April 16, 2025, coinciding with the airing of the show’s powerful Season 12, Episode 18, “Demons.” Dubbed a “Greek Goddess” by fans, as reported by Yahoo Lifestyle, Squerciati’s chic look—paired with a bold caption, “My travel alter ego wears lime green. SHE BOLD”—offered a vibrant contrast to the gritty drama of Chicago P.D., where her character navigates a high-stakes carjacking case. Drawing parallels to Gordon Ramsay’s authentic family moments, like his October 2024 post of sons Oscar and Jesse, this essay explores how Squerciati’s radiant style reflects her versatility, amplifies fan excitement, and complements Chicago P.D.’s emotional resonance in a competitive TV landscape.
A ‘Greek Goddess’ in Morocco While Chicago P.D. took a brief hiatus after filming Season 12, Squerciati jetted to Morocco, staying at the El Fenn Hotel in Marrakech. Her April 16 Instagram post showcased a lime green outfit—flowy, elegant, and accessorized with a necklace, hoop earrings, and brown sandals, her hair in a sleek bun. Fans erupted, with comments like “Greek goddessssss🥰🤩” and “You look like a Godess Queen,” per Yahoo Lifestyle. Another wrote, “OMG, So so beautiful 😍😍 in love with this dress ❤️,” praising her “phenomenal” and “absolutely stunning” look. This bold departure from Burgess’ utilitarian police uniform highlights Squerciati’s flair, seen in past posts like her 2022 New Orleans leather skirt or 2023 Mexico bikini, per HELLO! and Yahoo. The “Greek Goddess” moniker reflects her ability to embody glamour, mirroring the strength she brings to Burgess’ newly promoted detective role. Echoes of Authenticity: Parallels with Gordon Ramsay Squerciati’s vibrant authenticity mirrors Gordon Ramsay’s heartfelt family moments, like his October 2024 Instagram post of sons Oscar and Jesse in matching pajamas, which fans adored for Jesse’s “mini me” resemblance, per HELLO!.
Ramsay’s seven 2025 Fox shows, from Hell’s Kitchen to Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service, thrive on his blend of intensity and warmth, much like Squerciati balances Burgess’ grit with off-screen elegance. Her Moroccan post, captioned with playful confidence, resonates with fans, as does Ramsay’s pride in his family, seen in X comments joking about Jesse’s future as a chef. Both stars leverage personal authenticity—Squerciati through style, Ramsay through family—to deepen their connection with audiences, amplifying Chicago P.D.’s appeal alongside Ramsay’s TV empire. Tying to Chicago P.D. Season 12, Episode 18 On the same day as Squerciati’s post, “Demons” aired, a “powerful” episode lauded on X for its team unity, per Fangirlish. Spoilers from OnTheFlix reveal Burgess, now a detective, rallying the Intelligence Unit with Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) to support Voight (Jason Beghe) against Deputy Chief Reid’s (Shawn Hatosy) corrupt dealings in a carjacking case tied to drug dealer Jesus Otero. Voight’s lesson in trusting his team, as ScreenRant notes, mirrors Burgess’ leadership, with Squerciati’s performance earning praise for its emotional depth. Fans on X connected her “Greek Goddess” look to Burgess’ strength, one writing, “Marina’s slaying in Morocco while Burgess is slaying in Chicago!”
Her glamorous hiatus post, following a Budapest reunion with co-stars Tracy Spiridakos and Jesse Lee Soffer, per AOL, fueled excitement for the season’s final episodes, including the anticipated Burgess-Ruzek wedding, as NBC Insider hints. Fan Engagement and Cultural Resonance Squerciati’s Moroccan look sparked a frenzy, with fans on Instagram and X celebrating her “mysterious” and “fabulous” vibe, per Yahoo Lifestyle. This echoes her April 13 Budapest post, captioned “Getting the gang back together,” which thrilled fans with “iconic” Upstead reunion vibes, per AOL. Her ability to engage fans off-screen, like her February 2025 One Chicago wine night post with stars like Hanako Greensmith, per NBC, strengthens Chicago P.D.’s community.
The “Greek Goddess” aesthetic, paired with Burgess’ arc, resonates with themes of resilience and empowerment, much like Ramsay’s shows promote meritocracy. X discussions tied Squerciati’s elegance to Burgess’ growth, reflecting the show’s appeal in a polarized climate where strong, multifaceted characters shine. Navigating the TV Landscape Chicago P.D. faces declining live viewership, with Season 12 ratings lower, per ScreenRant, and 2023 strike costs, but NBC’s Peacock streaming and weekly airings, despite an April 9 hiatus, maintain reach, like Ramsay’s Hulu-streamed shows. Squerciati’s viral post, alongside Hawkins’ story of Flueger’s family bond, per The Hollywood Reporter, boosts engagement, with X buzz for “Demons” calling it a “family” triumph. Her pregnancy announcement on December 31, 2024, explaining her absence from Season 12’s first two episodes, per CinemaBlend, further endeared her to fans, with co-star LaRoyce Hawkins commenting, “Priceless!”
This personal connection ensures Chicago P.D.’s relevance, mirroring Ramsay’s year-round Fox presence. Conclusion Marina Squerciati’s “Greek Goddess” look in her lime green ensemble, shared on April 16, 2025, captivated fans, offering a radiant contrast to Chicago P.D.’s intense “Demons” episode, where Burgess shines as a leader. Her authentic style, like Gordon Ramsay’s family posts, deepens her bond with fans, fueling excitement for the show’s finale. In a challenging TV landscape, Squerciati’s elegance and Burgess’ strength cement Chicago P.D.’s legacy as a saga of resilience and chosen family, proving that glamour and grit are a powerful pair.
