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."

Effervescent spritzes are built for summer sipping
Days after I'd decided to write about summer spritzes, I was — by pure coincidence — sent into the heart of Spritzville, the Mediterranean coast of France. This was for a work conference unrelated to cocktail writing, and it was a shock: In decades of travel for my nonprofit job, I have slept in cars, tents, a closet with a bunch of cowboys snoring in the hallway and dozens of budget hotel rooms that could typically be described as 'dreary' but occasionally veered into 'stabby.' Spending a few days in Cannes was a freakish occurrence. It did, however, encourage me to try to manifest wonderful things simply by declaring an intent to write about them. Testing it now: Next column, I shall write about ponies. Take heed, universe.

Italian film industry rocked by 'fantasy film' linked to American director sought in double murder
ROME — The head of the Italian Culture Ministry's film department resigned Thursday following revelations that an American film director accused in a double homicide had secured nearly $1 million in tax credits from the ministry for a film he never made. The Culture Ministry announced the resignation of Nicola Borrelli in a brief statement overnight, thanking him for his service. It didn't provide a reason. But the scandal over the 'fantasy film' tax credits erupted soon after Greek authorities on the island of Skiathos arrested the California-born Francis Kaufman last month on a European arrest warrant issued by Italy. Italian prosecutors have accused Kaufman in the deaths of an infant girl and her mother, whose bodies were found naked in Rome's Villa Pamphili park on June 7. Kaufman, who was using the alias Rexal Ford, is currently awaiting extradition to Italy. State-run RAI television has said that he told Italian prosecutors via video call that he was innocent, but declined to answer further questions without a lawyer. The Culture Ministry has confirmed that Kaufman, using the alias Ford and his Tintangel Films LLC company, had obtained the tax credit for a film, 'Stelle della Notte' (Stars of the Night), that was never made. The confirmation came in a statement last week in which the ministry confirmed it had handed over to prosecutors all the documentation it had in connection with the film, a co-production with an Italian firm Coevolutions Srl. Italian media have published ministry documentation showing that 'Stelle della Notte' had obtained 836,439.08 euros in tax credits in 2023. Such tax credits are a regular part of the financial incentives Italy gives to filmmakers to produce and distribute films in the country. On Wednesday, Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli told lawmakers that the ministry was cooperating fully with prosecutors, noting that he had personally accompanied the police when they arrived at the ministry June 27 to seize the material. In an appearance in the Senate chamber, Giuli acknowledged a long-standing problem in the ministry of financing and tax credits for projects that never get made. 'No more fantasy films,' he vowed. The resignation of Borrelli was the second earthquake this week in the Italian film industry, following the resignation over the weekend of the head of the storied Cinecitta film studio, Chiara Sbarigia. Sbarigia said in a statement that she was stepping down to concentrate on her other job as president of Italy's audio-visual producers association. Italian media and lawmakers had blasted her dual jobs as a conflict of interest, a claim that she and Giuli have denied.
