The coming-of-age comedy is about two overachieving high school girls who, on the eve of their graduation, decided to break the rules and cram four years of fun in one night.

The film received critical acclaim, with Rotten Tomatoes naming Booksmart the number one best comedy of the decade.

Beanie Feldstein, who plays one of the lead characters Molly Davidson, scored a nomination for Best Actress in Comedy at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards for her role.

On Friday, actress-turned-director Olivia Wilde attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival to discuss her movie.

She showcased her sartorial flair in a summery red dress from Russian fashion designer Ulyana Sergeenko’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection. The vintage-looking summer-ready frock features tiny white flower prints, trendy puff sleeves, a sweetheart neckline, and a belted waist.

Thanks to hair and makeup artist Blondie, Olivia looked even more radiant with dusty rose blush, matching lip gloss, eyeliner, and mascara. She wore her blonde locks down in beautiful curls, framing her perfectly made-up face.

Stylist Karla Welch accessorized Olivia’s look with gold jewelry and a pair of red slingback pumps by Chloe Gosselin.

Called the ‘Alaide,’ these red suede pumps feature pointed toes, thick slingback straps, bamboo buckles, and about 4-inch block heels.
