Olivia Wilde's style evolution in 53 photos: girl-next-door to red carpet master

The actress and director has evolved into a fashion star with undeniable ease

Olivia Wilde, 37, may be making headlines for her relationship with Harry Styles, but her personal style is a story of its own.

The Booksmart director's acting career dates back to 2003, when she starred in The Girl Next Door, which is exactly what she looked like on the red carpet, in reserved dresses, light knits and a noughties suede jacket.

Click through the gallery above to chart Olivia Wilde's style evolution in 53 photos.

But it didn't take long for the House star to become a fashion darling. The actress regularly reaches for Gucci gowns for her red carpet outings, and also has a penchant for Michael Kors, Valentino and Fendi. Regionally, she has worn designs by Lebanese designer Elie Saab.

Like the majority of starlets, Wilde enjoyed bodycon and a mini-dress-heavy sartorial phase in the mid-2000s and early 2010s. In more recent years, boho dresses, sharp suits and metallic gowns have become her style staples. Plunging necklines, however, have been a Wilde thing through the years.

Off the red carpet, the actress who found fame in The OC, is happiest in jeans and trainers, and describes her style as that of "a teenager from the early aughts."

She says: "My most comfortable state is when I'm wearing low-rise jeans, sneakers, and a sweatshirt, in that, I am unstoppable. And if I'm in a high-waist jean, I can't let my gut expand."

While she is certainly chic, her singer boyfriend is also known for bringing it in the style stakes. Click through the gallery below to look back at Harry Styles' fashion evolution:

Libya's Gold

UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves. 

The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.

Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.

GIANT REVIEW

Starring: Amir El-Masry, Pierce Brosnan

Director: Athale

Rating: 4/5

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.
