Olivia Wilde, known for her laid-back style, often wears loose-fitting tracksuits, jeans, and cozy hoodies. Yet, as evidenced by her latest public appearance, the 40-year-old American actress and director consistently dazzles when she wears more formal attire.
Recently, Olivia Wilde joined the ranks of A-list celebrities at the prestigious 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.

This annual event pays tribute to esteemed figures in science and mathematics. The Breakthrough Prize acknowledges the groundbreaking research accomplishments of the world’s best scientists, granting over $15 million in awards each year.
Each prestigious Breakthrough Prize amounts to $3 million and is presented to individuals in Life Sciences, Fundamental Physics, and Mathematics.
Daring in Black Galvan Twist Cindy Dress
For the Saturday night affair, Olivia Wilde made a bold statement, showcasing the trend of sideless fashion as she sported a dress with half its fabric missing.
On the red carpet, the Tron: Legacy star commanded attention as she revealed her figure in a Galvan Twist Cindy dress, which stood out amidst the crowd of black-and-white attire.

Staying true to the theme, she embodied a juxtaposition of styles in her black peekaboo knit gown, which had a turtleneck, long sleeves, and a massive cutout detail that exposed her toned midriff and back.
Her sultry ensemble also featured a daringly thigh-high slit, offering glimpses of her leg and hinting at her derriere, which, I believe, prevented her outfit from being plain and boring.
The only thing keeping the dress from falling apart was a striking, long white bow loosely tied at the hips, which is the highlight of her ensemble.

Monochrome Chic and Elegant Accents
Collaborating with her longtime stylist, Karla Welch, whose clientele includes Tracee Ellis Ross, Hailey Bieber, and Sarah Paulson, Olivia Wilde allowed her ensemble to shine, opting for minimal accessories.
She effortlessly elevated her attire with towering black Aquazzura strappy sandals. These sandals featured open toes, ankle straps, and stiletto heels, accentuating her stunning stature.

Jason Sudeikis’ former fiancé adorned herself with long diamond drop earrings from Nikos Koulis jewelry, adding sparkle. She painted her nails with cherry-red polish to contrast her monochrome look, adding a vibrant pop of color.
Completing her glamorous appearance, makeup artist Tracey Levy applied glossy pink lips and winged eyeliner. At the same time, hairstylist Mark Townsend fashioned her caramel hair into a voluminous blowout, cascading in silky waves.
Stuns in Black Carolina Herrera Strapless Dress at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Olivia Wilde is no stranger to rocking the Little Black Dress (LBD) trend, and she showcased her sultry take on it at the star-studded 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles last month.
For a post-ceremony moment, she exuded classic cool-girl style in a simple black velvet Carolina Herrera maxi dress from the Venezuelan fashion designer’s Fall 2024 collection.

Marking her birthday during the event, Olivia proved that her beauty grows with age as she turned heads in a figure-hugging gown that emphasized her curves. The gown featured a strapless design and a daringly plunging neckline for added allure.
The gown cascaded elegantly to the floor, boasting a subtle mermaid train that concealed her choice of footwear – a pair of Jimmy Choo Gaia platform sandals in black patent leather, which we have previously seen worn by Jessica Alba, Greta Gerwig and Taylor Swift.

Adding extra glamour, the Don’t Worry Darling actress adorned herself with dangly diamond Boucheron Vendome earrings and a matching Boucheron the Panda ring.
Olivia completed her look with dramatic winged black eyeliner and effortlessly undone hair, epitomizing effortless chic at the prestigious event.
