Olivia Wilde suffers wardrobe malfunction as her heel gets caught in her glamorous gown

Olivia Wilde looked sensational as she walked the red carpet in a shimmering emerald green dress at the Don’t Worry Darling premiere at the Victoria Eugenia Theatre during the 70th San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain on Friday.

The actress, 38, looked every inch the Hollywood siren as she arrived at the event where she was greeted by hoards of fans and photographers.

However, she stumbled about before heading inside as the heels of her towering shoes got caught in the long train of her gown.

The star needed assistance from a member of staff to ensure she was safely unstuck.

Olivia ensured she caught the eye of onlookers at the premiere as her garment sparkled under the bright lights.

Her naked arms and shoulders were left exposed to the air due to the sleeveless design of the dress. 

The star wore her hair down and opted for lashings of make-up to highlight her pretty features.

Olivia plays the role of Bunny in psychological thriller film Don’t Worry Darling, with her character being the best friend of Alice Chambers (Florence Pugh).  

Don’t Worry Darling tells the story of housewife Alice whose husband Jack (Harry Styles) moves them into a utopian community for his new company.

She starts worrying that her husband and his company are hiding terrible secrets as her life is turned upside down.

The cast also includes Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, Nick Kroll, Douglas Smith, KiKi Layne, Timothy Simons and Dita Von Teese. 

Wilde has been doing her best to stay calm after a facing a whirlwind of controversy at the Venice Film Festival.

Wilde and Styles, who are an item, promoted the movie with Chris and fellow stars Gemma Chan and Nick Kroll, but Florence, who plays the lead, was notably absence from much of the festivities.

She skipped a press conference for the film that was attended by Olivia and the actors because her flight allegedly would land too late for her to get there, though she was later seen in Venice nearby while it was taking place.

During the premiere screening and on the red carpet in Italy, Florence appeared to keep her distance from her director. 

Olivia recently split from her ex husband Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis, with whom she shares two children. Infamously, Wilde was served with custody court papers while on stage giving a speech. 

 

Rumors of Harry and Olivia’s romance were confirmed when they were seen holding hands at his agent’s wedding in Montecito, California, on January 3 2021, raising eyebrows over just how quickly she had moved on.

And rumors of a feud between her and Florence emerge after a video was recently leaked of the director suggesting her main female character should have a ‘wake up call’.  

The video was leaked after Shia LaBeouf – who was originally set to front the film, refuted Olivia’s claim that he had been fired from the project.

In the footage, Olivia can be heard encouraging Shia to stay signed on to the film, rather than leave it, while also hinting at some apparent tension with Florence.  

After LaBeouf was sued by his ex FKA twigs and details of his allegedly sexual battery and harassment against her emerged, Olivia claimed she had fired him from the production.

But the Honey Boy actor later produced a video that Wilde apparently sent him begging him to stay with the production, and he claimed that he had left over a ‘lack of rehearsal time,’ while forwarding emails to Variety to back up his case.

Florence and Olivia have reportedly been feuding quietly after the actress was allegedly uncomfortable with Olivia’s on-set relationship with Harry, though she claimed to Vanity Fair that her relationship with Sudeikis was ‘over long before’ she and Harry first hooked up. 

Looking for answers on the Don’t Worry Darling drama, a journalist asked Olivia about the reports during Monday’s press conference, which was also attended by Harry and his co-stars Chris Pine and Gemma Chan.

‘Can you just clear the air and address whether there has been a falling out there and if so why, because it’s something that people are discussing?’ the reporter asked.  

Olivia responded: ‘Florence is a force and we are so grateful that she is able to make it tonight despite being in production on Dune.’

‘I know as a director how disruptive it is to lose an actor even for a day so I’m very grateful to her and Denis Villeneuve for helping us – we’re really thrilled we’ll get to celebrate her work tonight.’

She continued: ‘I can’t say enough how honored I am to have her as our lead. She’s amazing in the film and as for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, I mean, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel the need to contribute, I think it’s sufficiently well nourished.’

Don’t Worry Darling is released in the UK and Us on 23 September 2022.
