Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde were seen posing together at Venice Film Festival – albeit with Gemma Chan and Chris Pine between them – as they arrived to promote Don’t Worry Darling.
The couple arrived separately for the festival, where the psychological thriller, starring Harry alongside Florence Pugh, will be screened.
Posing on the red carpet, Harry, 28, suited up in his signature flares and a striped cream blazer.
On the other side of Gemma, 39, and Chris, 42, Olivia, 38, donned an all-green number, donning trousers and a jacket with a black bralette.
Eternals star Gemma also looked stunning in gold trousers and a coordinating top, while Chris looked suave, pairing red trousers with a navy blazer.
Notably, Florence was absent from the photos after it was reported that she wouldn’t be able to make the press conference for the film amid reports of a feud with director Olivia.
Speaking to press, Olivia said (according to Deadline): ‘Florence is a force; we are so grateful she is able to make it tonight [to the premiere] despite being in production.’
She reportedly added: ‘As for all the endless tabloid gossip and noise out there, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel I need to contribute to it. It’s sufficiently well-nourished.’
However, according to reports, the Lady Macbeth star was never going to be at the conference due to her flight from the set of the Dune sequel not getting in until at least an hour after it is due to start.

Deadline state that Florence, however, will walk the red carpet. They also claim that she will watch the film with her co-stars, including Olivia and Harry.
Florence won’t be sticking around for too long as she’s expected to be back on set on Tuesday morning, they add.
Don’t Worry Darling has been at the centre of speculation after it was reported that Florence and Olivia clashed behind-the-scenes. It amped up further when it was claimed that the Marvel star had limited her promotion of the film to the Venice Film Festival premiere.

However, Olivia had nothing but praise for the actress and sung her praises during a recent interview.
‘She’s ferociously talented,’ she told Interview Magazine of Florence. ‘She was so dogged in her pursuit of the most authentic version of every moment.
‘She also knew that my real goal was to create a love story that felt so sincere between her and Harry that people would be incapable of not falling for them as a couple. It had to be a love that felt real – it had to be passionate, but textured.
‘I wanted so badly to have a nuanced, layered relationship that people would buy into despite knowing at times in the film that they shouldn’t. Even when the movie suggests you should question them, I wanted you to fight it.’

When the trailer for the film was first released, it featured a steamy scene between Harry and Florence’s characters.
However, the Black Widow star refused to speak about the scene and criticised viewers for reducing the film to just one sex scene in an interview.
‘When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it. It’s not why I’m in this industry,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar.
‘Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that.
‘That’s just not what I’m going to be discussing because [this movie is] bigger and better than that. And the people who made it are bigger and better than that.’
Don’t Worry Darling hits cinemas on September 23.
