In a world of Julia Foxes and Katy Perrys, Olivia Wilde always manages to make her style stand out among the rest — not with wacky sartorial choices, but with timeless, chic looks.

Take Wilde’s most recent ‘fit, for example. While attending the 11th annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony over the weekend, the Don’t Worry Darling director opted for a classic, strapless black gown that would have been a simple outfit, had she not spiced it up with a surprisingly low neckline.

Olivia’s Strapless Gown

A classic black gown loves to see Olivia Wilde coming. From Fashion Week outings to festive holiday parties, the Coco Chanel-beloved garment has become the 41-year-old’s unofficial uniform over the years, and given her penchant for functional style over painful fashions, it’s easy to see why.

Adding to her ever-growing canon, the actor and director arrived to the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on April 5 in a stunning floor-length gown by Erdem from the brand’s autumn/winter 2025 collab collection with artist Kaye Donachie.

The cocktail dress featured a strapless, off-the-shoulder design that rested on her chest so low, it nearly exposed her cleavage. As a result, the low-cut neckline created an elegant draping effect around the elbows.

Made from a textured cloqué material, the neutral number boasted a dramatic, voluminous skirt that would make any Disney princess jealous.

The most eye-catching feature was the ivory ribbon motif (inspired by Donachie’s ink drawings) that resembled an abstract bouquet of flowers.

The evening ensemble currently retails for $5,995.

Her Shoes Were Spicy

Breaking free from the timeless elegance of the LBD, Wilde subtly spiced up her look with a pair of sheer naked Passions pumps from Aquazzura.

The stilettos featured a see-through mesh base that’s been overlaid with black suede striping, and a striking pointed toe.
