Olivia Wilde shows off trim figure in beaded string bikini during Italian getaway
On Saturday, the 41-year-old actress and director was spotted climbing out of the water after enjoying a dip in the Ionian Sea off the coast of Taormina, Sicily.
The "House" alum put her svelte figure on full display as she rocked a tan bikini with red beaded strings.
Wilde wore her damp hair down around her shoulders and accessorized with a pair of oversized brown sunglasses and a delicate gold necklace.
The "Tron: Legacy" actress was later seen reading a book while sunbathing on a lounge chair by the beach.
The day before, Wilde attended the 2025 Taormina Film Festival, where she received the Taormina Creativity Award.
The "Don't Worry Darling" director wore a sage green gown that featured a soleil-pleated skirt and plunging neckline with a keyhole cutout. Wilde styled her hair into soft waves and completed her look with a gold chain necklace that had an emerald pendant.
Earlier in the day, Wilde sported a light yellow silk and lace dress and gold velvet platform sandals along with a gold statement necklace while attending the festival photo call.
On June 2, Taormina Artistic Director Tiziana Rocca announced the festival would be honoring Wilde's creative achievements.
"We are honored to welcome Olivia Wilde to the 71st edition of the Taormina Film Festival," Rocca said in a statement to Deadline. "Olivia represents a shining example of female creative power, combining elegance, intelligence and determination. Her presence will greatly enrich this year's program and offer the audience a unique opportunity to engage with one of the key figures in contemporary cinema."
The festival was held from June 10-14 in the hilltop town. Other stars honored with awards included Martin Scorsese, Michael Douglas, Helen Hunt, Catherine Deneuve and Monica Bellucci.
According to Deadline, Wilde's next acting project is the upcoming thriller, "I Want Your Sex," which also stars pop singer Charlie XCX and Cooper Hoffman. She will direct the comedy "The Invite," in which she will also star alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz.
Wilde's other upcoming directing projects include the comic book adaptation "Avengelyne" and the Christmas comedy "Naughty."

In Custom, Extremely Cut-Out Jacquemus, Dua Lipa's Birthday Look Is Ibiza-Ready
Dua Lipa celebrated her 30th birthday in the most Dua Lipa way possible. Landing into Ibiza—her confirmed favorite island—with a pack of friends, the pop star dined in the celebrity fave beachside spot Jondal and danced the night away at DC10 nightclub. The look? An elevated take on White Island dressing, and totally Dua: a custom Jacquemus dress made of white sequins with extreme, side-caressing cut-outs. High neck at the front, the dress splits backless, with matching white sequin underwear exposed by the deep hip cut-outs. She wore several silver star earrings across her lobes, a stack of silver bracelets, and gold and silver cocktail rings alongside her solitaire diamond, chunky engagement ring. Lipa posted a series of snaps from her early birthday celebrations (her birthday is August 22) to Instagram, fooling around with her fiancé Callum Turner and posing with friends including Mustafa the Poet and GCDS creative director Giuliano Calza, as well as her sister Rina and mother Anesa. Plates of dressed oysters and devoured langoustines from the celebratory meal were also peppered throughout the IG carousel, and Lipa served up her own early birthday cake: a chunky chocolate and pistachio cake topped with cherries, raspberries, and summer berries. Turner turned his own hand at summer style, in an easy breezy blue and white stripe shirt, loose linen trousers, and sheer, square brown sunglasses. (He looks like he's managed to get over that awful sunburn too!). The couple confirmed their engagement with Dua Lipa's British Vogue cover story back in June.

Watch live: Trump visits Kennedy Center, unveils Honors award nominees
President Trump on Wednesday morning will give remarks as he announces the new nominees for the annual Kennedy Center Honors. On Tuesday, he touted the 'great nominees' who are poised to receive the award while teasing that his last name could soon replace former President Kennedy's on the cultural institution. House Republicans have led an effort to rename the institution the 'Trump Center for the Performing Arts.' An area of the historic arts center could also be rebranded for first lady Melania Trump. The visit also comes after the president voiced his disappointment after touring the Kennedy Center for the first time earlier this year. He subsequently vowed to 'fix' the place, fired several member of the board and naming himself chair. The Trumps later attended a showing of 'Les Misérables' and a fundraiser in support of the center. The event is scheduled to begin at 11:15 a.m. EDT.

Newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez want R3,3m in damages from her brother
Fresh from their lavish R900-million Italian wedding, billionaire newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have turned their attention to a far less romantic matter: collecting legal fees from family. The Amazon founder and his wife are demanding R3,3 million in legal costs from Lauren's estranged brother, Michael Sanchez, following years of bitter court battles which have torn the family apart. While R3,3 million might be pocket change for the world's third-richest man, the couple's lawyers aren't letting it slide. They recently filed a motion demanding that Michael pay R3,2 million in attorney's fees as well as R143 594 in legal costs. The motion, which was filed in July, says that these costs came about because of a successful Special Motion to Strike and a later motion for attorney's fees. The filings refer to California's Anti-SLAPP law, which protects people from lawsuits that try to scare or silence them about things that are important to the public. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lauren Sánchez Bezos (@laurensanchezbezos) The family drama began in early 2019, just as Jeff announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott after 25 years of marriage. At the time, the tech mogul was rumoured to be romantically involved with Lauren, who had separated from her then-husband, Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell. Their budding romance took a dramatic turn when American tabloid, The National Enquirer, threatened to publish intimate photos and explicit text messages between the couple. Jeff beat the tabloid to the punch and published descriptions of the images himself, along with his correspondence with the tabloid's owners on Medium. 'I had nothing to do with the leak of the pics,' Michael said previously. 'There are, like, 20 d*ck pics. Lauren likely shared them with multiple girlfriends – not in a malicious way, that's not her style, but when she's in love, she got a kick out of sharing them.' He claims Lauren once tried to show him one of the images. 'I was like, 'What the f**k is wrong with you? I don't want to see that!'' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lauren Sánchez Bezos (@laurensanchezbezos) In 2020, Michael unsuccessfully sued Jeff for defamation. The following year, Jeff was awarded R3,9 million in legal fees, but the back-and-forth litigation continued. Michael has denied leaking the pictures but it's been reported that he had signed a nondisclosure agreement about the couple's alleged affair. However, Michael claims he worked with the tabloid to help his sister, not harm her. Lauren's version of events paints a different picture. 'Michael secretly provided my most personal information to the National Enquirer – a deep and unforgivable betrayal. My family is hurting over this new baseless and untrue lawsuit, and we truly hope my brother finds peace,' she said in a lawyer's letter. Despite the ongoing family chaos, the newlyweds seem unfazed by the legal drama. They've been spotted partying across Europe, from exclusive Ibiza nightclubs to double dates with Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, aboard Jeff's R8,7-billion superyacht.
