Harry Styles seen rejecting Olivia Wilde on red carpet at film premiere
Among the chaos at the Don’t Worry Darling premiere, a new video has emerged of Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde that suggests they’re in turmoil.
To say the Don’t Worry Darling premiere on Tuesday was a disaster would be an understatement.
From a viral video of Harry Styles appearing to spit at co-star Chris Pine, to Florence Pugh missing the press conference and subsequently ignoring her director Olivia Wilde during the screening, the film is hitting headlines for all the wrong reasons.
And now, a new clip has emerged which shows there might also be trouble between Wilde and Styles, who began dating during filming in late 2020.

In the video, Styles, 28, can be seen being ushered to stand next to Wilde, 38, on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival yesterday, but appears to snub her.
Instead, he fist pumps Nick Kroll, refuses to make eye contact with Wilde and ultimately positions himself between Gemma Chan and Sydney Chandler.

Reports suggest cast tension began when Wilde and Styles formed a romance on set, allegedly while Wilde was still in a long-term relationship with Ted Lasso actor Jason Sudeikis.
The former couple, who share two children together, announced their shock split after nine years together and by January, Wilde was pictured hand-in-hand with Styles attending a friend’s wedding.
At the time, sources cited Wilde’s relationship with Styles as the main reason for her engagement breakdown, with one insider telling New York Post at the time the duo had an ongoing affair, leaving Sudeikis distraught.
“Jason and the kids visited Olivia on set at the beginning a few times, so I think this all made people feel a little uncomfortable,” the insider said.
And in August, rumours began swirling that Wilde had fallen out with Pugh, 26.
“I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry,” one insider told the publication.
There certainly appeared to be some truth to those whispers when the cast attended the premiere on Tuesday, where spectators noted Pugh and Wilde didn’t interact with each other at all.
It’s also highly unusual for a director not to pose for an official photo with their two stars, in this case, Pugh and Styles.
The trio were separated at all times, both on the red carpet and inside the theatre.
