Olivia Wilde never fails to bring a certain easy-breezy glamour to the red carpet – and her most recent appearances at this year's Venice Film Festival are photographic evidence. The 38-year-old actress and filmmaker made headlines recently after rumours circulated around a supposed rift among the cast of her upcoming picture Don't Worry Darling, but all that concerned us here at the Hello! Fashion office was how one might go about recreating one of Olivia's many stunning beauty looks.

Who is Olivia Wilde?

In case she has somehow escaped your attention, New York-born Olivia Wilde is an actress and film director. Having trained at the Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin, she started out her career working on the likes of The O.C. and House.

After starring in a Broadway production of 1984, Olivia turned her attention to the action behind the camera. She made her directorial debut with teen comedy Booksmart in 2019, and more recently has garnered attention on account of her relationship with Harry Styles.

While the cast may have clashed, there is at least one area that exudes perfect harmony. Olivia's beauty looks are always impeccable and thoughtful, often focusing on her greyish blue eyes and enviable cheekbones.
