Olivia Wilde is not bothered by trolls targeting her for her viral red-carpet look. The “House” actor attended the San Francisco International Film Festival on April 24 in an outfit that sparked a wave of memes. She wore a white top paired with a black skirt, with her hair slicked back, creating an overall look that was minimalistic and understated.
However, what caught everyone’s attention was a close-up shot of her taken with a fisheye lens, which made her eyes appear larger and her facial features sharper. This, in turn, led viewers to compare her to Gollum, a character from “The Lord of the Rings.”
Olivia Wilde on viral red carpet look: ‘It’s a startling image’
Olivia Wilde clapped back at trolls over her viral red carpet look. The actor attended the San Francisco International Film Festival on April 24 in a minimalistic outfit. She wore a chic white top paired with a black skirt for a perfectly contrasting look. Her hair was slicked back, and she opted for a light makeup look for an understated red carpet appearance. Wilde also spoke about her film, “The Invite,” on the red carpet.
However, what truly made headlines was that her look drew comparisons to Gollum, a character from the epic fantasy film, “The Lord of the Rings.” As reported by Page Six, she noted that a fisheye lens, which creates a distorting effect, contributed to her unusual appearance. However, she also conceded that it wasn’t her best look that night.
She also addressed the criticism in a video shared on her Instagram Story. The video shows her brother, Charles Cockburn, asking her, “Olivia Wilde, do you care to address recent rumors that you’re a resurrected corpse?” The “Tron: Legacy” actor then explained, “Listen, that is a fisheye lens. And I admit, is that my best angle? Was that my best ever look? No, it’s a startling image.”
She added, “I don’t know why I was so close to the camera,” with a giggle. “I didn’t have to be. That’s not the truth.”
