32 Of Olivia Wilde's Most Effortlessly Cool Suits And 1970s-Inspired Dresses
Olivia Wilde has been a fashion icon at ELLE UK for some time, thanks to her love of 1970s-inspired boho dresses, Bella Freud suiting and the effortless way she can put a white T-shirt with just about everything.
With acting roles in the likes of Tron, Love The Coopers, The Change-Up and Rush, Wilde made her directorial debut with her 2019 film Booksmart, starring our fave on-screen best friend duo Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein, nabbing numerous awards and accolades and proving herself a cinematic heavyweight in Hollywood.
This year, she's filming her follow up to Booksmart, Don't Worry Darling, starring Florence Pugh, Harry Styles and Chris Pine and we don't know what we're more excited for: the film or the red carpet looks Wilde will be sporting at its premieres.
Here is a look at Olivia Wilde's style and most famous and versatile looks:
