A-listers soak up the sun during European summer holidays

WARNING: Photos may cause extreme jealousy. Seems like just about every celeb around is living it up on a beach somewhere in Europe right now.

It’s official: Every celebrity is sunning themselves in Europe right now.

Australians might be waking up to freezing temperatures, but on the other side of the world, it’s a Northern summer and the rich and famous are making the most of the weather.

American actress and director Olivia Wilde is the latest celeb to turn their out of office on – she was spotted soaking up the Sicilian sun in the seaside town of Taormina.

The Don’t Worry Darling director, 40, was seen emerging from the Mediterranean Sea in a tiny two-piece bikini. She was on holiday with her friend, film producer Saul Germaine.

Also in Taormina – who knew this small Sicilian town was such a celeb hotspot? – Helen Hunt. The 62-year-old star is enjoying a career resurgence thanks to her memorable role on the streaming hit Hacks, and recently opened up about the “misery and shame” she felt at the peak of her 90s fame as she tried to live up to Hollywood’s exacting beauty standards.

Over on the Spanish holiday isle of Ibiza, Kate Moss’ model daughter Lila, 22, is doing as all good nepo babies should: Spending her summer on holiday.

Challengers and The Crown hunk Josh O’Connor, 35, takes a dip in the exclusive Italian seaside resort town of Portofino, where he’s enjoying a romantic getaway with girlfriend Alison Oliver:

Also coupled up in Italy: Singer Billie Eilish, 23, with her singer and actor boyfriend Nat Wolff, seen leaving Venice via a water taxi. The pair’s smoochy Italian getaway has confirmed the recent speculation that they are indeed an item.

Noughties singer James Blunt, 51, is clearly still doing OK off the royalties from You’re Beautiful – he and wife Sofia were spotted living it up on a yacht in the French Riviera:

And another big noughties star, former Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, looked sensational at 50 in this low-cut swimsuit. She was spotted having some fun (and a lot of PDA) in the sun at Marbella in Spain with her husband, José Bastón.

Longoria, at least, wasn’t on holiday, having purchased a home in Marbella in 2023 and moving to Spain last year.

“The first time I came to Marbella, two decades ago, it was love at first sight. I said to myself: ‘Some day I’ll live here,’” she told Hello! last January.

The star’s Marbella estate features lush gardens, a pool and even a huge private cinema.

Longoria is one of a number of Hollywood stars who’ve moved across the pond recently – among them Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O’Donnell and Richard Gere.
