Olivia Wilde experienced a wardrobe malfunction Thursday while attending the Michael Kors show during New York Fashion Week, when a black jacket she wore over a sheer top shifted and briefly exposed her chest, photographs and a report show.
Wilde, 41, was photographed outside the Terminal Warehouse event in a sheer black blouse worn without a bra and a loose black jacket positioned over her chest. At one point a gust of wind moved one side of the jacket, exposing a nipple; Wilde continued to smile for cameras and did not appear to react. She completed the look with a long unbuttoned skirt that revealed pointy leather boots, dark sunglasses and understated makeup.
Inside the show Wilde mingled with friends including Gwyneth Paltrow, according to the Daily Mail, which first reported the wardrobe incident. The outlet also published accounts saying Wilde has been following news of former partner Harry Styles’ reported relationship with Zoe Kravitz.
The Daily Mail quoted sources saying Wilde was “surprised” that Styles, her ex, is dating Kravitz and described the development as awkward because Kravitz moves in the same circle of friends. One source told the Daily Mail, “Olivia is surprised Harry is dating Zoe. It always feels weird to her when Harry starts dating a new celebrity.” Another source cited by the outlet said Wilde largely “doesn't give a crap” because the split occurred several years ago. The Daily Mail reported it had reached out to Wilde’s representative for comment.
Wilde and Styles dated from early 2021 until November 2022 after meeting on the set of the 2022 film Don’t Worry Darling. Wilde previously ended a long relationship with Jason Sudeikis, with whom she shares two children. Styles, a former member of One Direction, has been linked romantically to a number of high-profile figures in recent years, and his reported relationship with Kravitz has generated attention because of the overlap in social circles.
Kravitz, 36, has been connected to several well-known actors and musicians over the years. The Daily Mail noted that Kravitz was photographed on a dinner date with Styles after she spent time earlier this year appearing friendly with actor Austin Butler on projects and at industry events. The outlet also referenced past brief relationships between Styles and model Emily Ratajkowski, and said Ratajkowski and Butler were seen together recently in New York.
Photographs of Wilde at the Michael Kors presentation show a mix of casual and tailored elements in her ensemble; fashion observers and photographers frequently document such moments during New York Fashion Week, where weather and crowds can contribute to unexpected onstage and offstage incidents. Wilde’s appearance at the event comes amid continued public interest in her personal life and high-profile past relationships.
Representatives for Styles and Kravitz did not immediately respond to requests for comment made at the time of the Daily Mail report. Wilde’s representative was also contacted by the outlet, according to the reporting. The Michael Kors show proceeded as scheduled, and Wilde remained at the event where she was photographed interacting with guests.
The incident adds to recent media coverage of celebrities navigating public events and personal relationships during a busy fashion week schedule. Photographs and social media posts captured the moment on the street outside the Terminal Warehouse, underscoring how quickly wardrobe issues can draw attention in the public eye and in press coverage of celebrity appearances.
