Olivia Wilde's casual-to-catwalk wardrobe
The model-turned-actress has an envy-inducing red carpet and off-duty wardrobe.
At the LA premiere of The Change Up, Olivia wore a bright red Antonio Berardi dress and Brian Atwood shoes. The nipped-in waist showed off the actress's slim figure.
Dolce and Gabanna was Olivia's stylish pick for the premiere of her new film Cowboys & Aliens at the 2011 Comic-Con.
Actress Olivia Wilde jumped on the 'star micro-trend' bandwagon with this printed Dolce & Gabbana dress which she wore to the Los Angeles after-party of her new film The Change Up.
Giving a masterclass in laid-back cool Wilde paired her flared trousers with a Pink Floyd T-shirt and Alexander Wang sunglasses.
Olivia was the cover girl of NYLON magazine for August 2011. At the issue's launch party, the model-turned-actress wore an Emporio Armarni jumpsuit.
While out for lunch in LA the actress, who has starred in hit TV shows including The OC and House, wore her favourite flares with a cross-body satchel.
Red lipstick spruced up this black and white combo which could have otherwise fallen into the 'boring' bracket.
Wilde wore a cap sleeve, monochrome Yigal Azrouel dress to the 10th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball earlier this year. She finished off her polished look with a simple Ferragamo clutch.
Simple garments in muted tones is Olivia's trademark off-duty style.
Trending: nude coloured dresses - 4
Redhead Nicole Kidman often opts for pale shades - she chose this creamy beige Prada column gown for the Golden Globes.
Michelle Williams almost pulls this cute Valentino dress off, were it not for her blonde hair and white skin combo which makes her look a little too washed out.
'Glee' star Dianna Agron wears an elegant strapless pleated chiffon gown in a shimmery nude for the Golden Globes red carpet.
Jennifer Lopez looks chic in this nude coloured mini dress by Chloe, accentuating her caramel locks and bronzed skin.
What to buy in the sales
Make sure your summer sale purchases don't leave you looking 'so last season' when autumn arrives with our guide to the spring/summer trends that will continue through to autumn/winter.
Sleeveless Jacket
A hybrid between a blazer and a gilet, the sleeveless jacket is the must-have garment for the winter. The style was first showcased at the spring/summer shows by the likes of Alexander Wang (left) however it has been layered with trousers or worn on its own, as seen at Dolce & Gabbana (right), for a tougher autumn/winter look.
Tunic and Trousers
If the idea of a dress over trousers conjures up ideas of 90's nightmares, think again. The tunic and trousers combo was sleek and chic at spring/summer Calvin Klein (left) and the minimalist vison rolled into autumn/winter where if featured on the Osman, Giorgio Armani and Peter Pilotto (right) catwalks.
Androgynous
The boy-meets-girl look has been creeping onto the womenswear runways over the last few seasons, with Teddy Boys dominating the Balenciaga spring/summer 2011 show (left). Men's tailoring - both laid back and more traditional - was rife on the autumn/winter catwalks, as seen at Paul Smith (right).
Blue
Blue made a serious splash on the spring/summer catwalks. Whether it was a royal hue or futher towards turquoise, blue was the colour du jour, as seen at Miu Miu (left). For autumn/winter blue continues to dominate, but this time in more jewel like tones at Roksanda Ilincic (right).
Floral
On the spring/summer catwalks floral prints ranged from the dainty and pretty as seen at Erdem (left) to the dramatic at Dries van Noten. In autumn/winter flowers were everywhere - from decorating the sleeves at Miu Miu to dominating the capes at Jil Sander (right).
Monochromatic
Black and white is a colour combination which isn't new to any catwalk. Keep it crisp as shown at both spring/summer Pringle of Scotland (left) and autumn/winter Burberry (right) and you'll be on to a winner.
Nude
Nude is a trend that has been around for seasons. It all started with 'camel' which took over the autumn/winter catwalks last year. For spring/summer it was translated into a softer 'nude' with a strong empahsis on the ballet, particularly at Chloe (left). For autumn/winter there is a pinky hue to the oh-so-wearable nude and a strong emphasis on seperates, exemplied by Michael Kors (right).
Pencil Skirts
Perhaps since Mad Men hit our screens, the revival of the pencil skirt has been inevitable. Featuring in numerous spring/summer shows including Emporio Armani (left) the skirt could be considered a staple- rather than statement-piece. This season, the pencil skirt has become the star of the show and comes with embellishment, splits and prints as seen at Jonathan Saunders (right).
The sheer trend from spring/summer has been picked up both on the high-street and on the red carpet. However, the look gets a mini-makeover as it goes into autumn/winter. Gone is the all out sheer as seen at Richard Nicholl (left) and instead designers are bring in sheer peek-a-boo panels for a sexier edge, as seen at Stella McCartney (right), Versus and Louis Vuitton.
THE '70s
The Studio 54 vibe was everywhere for spring/summer 2011, most notably at Marc Jacobs (left), who showed a set of disco diva dresses to clear the dancefloor - Bianca Jagger eat your heart out! The '70s is back for autumn/winter with Gucci (right) picking up the baton with a range of ethereal gowns inspired by Frida Giannnini's muse of the moment: Florence Welch.
