Olivia Wilde owned the fashion scene at the 71st Taormina Film Festival on June 13, 2025, blending her signature bohemian chic with a dose of effortless sophistication as she was honored with the Creativity Award. This recognition celebrated her achievements in filmmaking, honoring her for her innovative works, such as her directorial debut, Booksmart, and her second feature, Don’t Worry Darling.

Olivia first caught my attention at the photocall with her feminine, relaxed bohemian look featuring Chloe’s pale yellow lace dress and platform sandals. But it was her second festival look that took the red carpet by storm. Transitioning from a laid-back boho to an elegant and festive vibe, she wowed everyone in a sage green Prada gown, perfectly complemented by stunning ivory satin platform heels. I love how she embodied both laid-back elegance and the festive mood of the event in both looks!

Let’s take a closer look at Olivia Wilde’s Taormina Film Festival outfits.
🌿 Red Carpet Glamour: Olivia Wilde in Sage Green Prada & Platform Heels
At the red carpet award ceremony, Olivia shone in a stunning sage green Prada georgette gown that effortlessly blended bohemian vibes with a touch of glamour.
Her gorgeous gown commanded attention on the red carpet, with its airy, ethereal, wide, soleil-pleated skirt creating a mesmerizing ripple effect with each step. The top portion is a bit ill-fitting—teetering on the edge of a wardrobe malfunction—but the plunging neckline, midriff cutout, and side cutouts added an alluring touch, highlighting her sensuality and lean frame.
I love how the dress’s lightweight fabric and effortless elegance perfectly complemented the beautiful Italian coastal setting. Wilde looked as if she had just stepped out of a fashion magazine photoshoot!

I commend Olivia for carefully selecting her accessories to complement her look! She kept things minimal, wearing just a pair of earrings and an emerald pendant necklace to add sophistication to her ensemble.
Her beauty look reflected her outfit’s relaxed yet chic vibe, with her hair styled in tousled waves and minimal makeup that let her natural beauty shine through.
Though mostly concealed beneath her flowing gown, Olivia gave us a peek at her Prada platform sandals as she lifted her skirt—an effortlessly chic choice that both elevated her height and polished off the entire look.

🌼 Boho at Its Best: Olivia Wilde Shines in Chloe Lace Dress & Velvet Platforms
Olivia Wilde truly embodied her boho-chic style at the photocall the day before, looking stunning in Chloe’s powder-yellow, organic silk jacquard dress. The dress was adorned with a rose pattern and intricate lace inserts, giving it a bohemian vibe that perfectly suited her style.
With a slip-like silhouette reminiscent of lingerie, the gown looked effortless and chic while maintaining an air of sensuality and femininity. The gathered details below the bust and the thin spaghetti straps ensured a comfy and flattering fit, and the way the dress draped over her figure was incredibly flattering.

Olivia continued her boho-chic look with minimalist glam and accessories. She wore her hair in messy waves that cascaded over her shoulders, accentuating her beauty with soft pink makeup.
Wilde accessorized with the $1,960 “The Chloe Magnificent” gold brass lariat necklace featuring multiple chains, two ornamental pendants inlaid with resin pearls, a large flower-inspired pendant inlaid with Portoro marble, resin pearls, and crystal glass. A chain tassel with a gold-tone Chloe logo plate added a touch of bohemian elegance to the look.
Olivia also carried the Mini Bracelet Hobo Bag in Deep Violine, inspired by the French fashion house’s archives. Crafted from luxurious suede lambskin, the bag featured a rounded, supple silhouette, a gold-tone bracelet handle, and stacked bi-color rings at the ends, making it both stylish and practical.

Olivia completed her boho outfit with the $1,150 Chloe “Aria” sandals, crafted from luxurious velvet and vegetable-tanned calfskin in Amber Gold colorway. They feature a thick velvet strap across the front, with peep toes allowing Olivia to showcase her white pedicure. I particularly adore the way they fit her foot. The ruched slingback strap added that extra touch of style, while the leather front strap, finished with the iconic Chloe-engraved Paddington buckle, brought an old-school charm to the whole look.
The real show-stopper was the thick platforms and block heels with a wavy sole, adding a modern, architectural twist to the retro bohemian vibe. You can shop the latest Chloe footwear styles at Nordstrom.
