Olivia Wilde looks back to her best after Gollum comparisons

Olivia Wilde looked back to her best on Tuesday night as she stunned in a white gown at the Fendi event in New York after facing cruel comparisons to Gollum. 

The actress, 42, left fans concerned earlier this month when she seemed wide-eyed when at the San Francisco International Film Festival.

The filmmaker subsequently blamed her jarring festival appearance on the camera’s distorting fisheye lens but acknowledged that it didn’t show her in the best light.

Now Olivia looked back to her glamorous self in a plunging white floor-length gown as she posed at the star-studded Fendi party in Midtown. 

The Don’t Worry Darling star styled her blonde tresses in a neat braided updo and wore a radiant palette of makeup to showcase her beauty. 

Olivia elevated her frame in a pair of black stilettos and toted a stunning gold shimmering handbag by the designer.

The American star was compared to Gollum, even by her own brother, after her previous red carpet appearance. 

She shared an Instagram Stories video writing: ‘Leave it to your little brother to give you the maximum amount of s***.’

‘I don’t know why I was so close to the camera; I didn’t have to be,’ she said while laughing off the gaffe.

‘Do you have any more questions?’ she asked younger sibling Charlie Cockburn, who was heard laughing. Olivia then declared: ‘I’m not dead.’

The snippet started with Charlie asking: ‘Olivia Wilde, do you care to address recent rumors that you’re a resurrected corpse?’ 

The Booksmart director was relaxing outdoors in a grey hoodie and dark jacket, and she wrapped herself up in a blanket in the recording.

She giggled at her brother’s taunting remarks while wearing a baseball cap and pulling the hood of her sweatshirt over her head.

The viral film festival video has been viewed more than ten million times, and many took to social media to express dismay.

One user wrote on X: ‘First, Angelina Jolie showed up looking like the ghost of her former self, and now Olivia Wilde looks like she has been overdoing the GLP-1s. What is happening to these actresses?’

Another asked: ‘What the hell is going on in Hollywood at the moment?’

At the event, Olivia looked chic in a simple, tailored white T-shirt, with her hair tied back with a bow. 

She added a billowy black satin skirt with an asymmetric hemline and short train.
