Olivia Wilde attended the 25th Film Independent Awards in Los Angeles yesterday (March 5). Dressed in an elegant long strapless gown, Olivia was all smiles as she posed on the blue carpet for photographers. The actress showed off her bohemian side wearing the floor-grazing maxi dress. The subdued floral print is beautiful and complements her wavy locks. Layered gold chain necklaces, bangle, and matching clutch complete her outfit.
Olivia was one of a star-studded group of presenters that also included Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon and Marisa Tomei.
Olivia has been taking tips on how to negotiate Hollywood from an Oscar-winning mentor – actress Julie Christie.
Christie, a family friend, has taken the House actress under her wing and is helping her cope with the pressures and strains of a life in the spotlight.
Like Wilde, Christie juggled modeling and acting careers – and the young star credits her mentor with helping her keep her feet on the ground as her career takes off.
She told GQ, “She (Christie) said that it’s all temporary. She got certain opportunities because she was a beauty, a fashion icon, and she was very grateful, very flattered.”
