Olivia Wilde made an unforgettable appearance at the 2023 Met Gala, flaunting her sculpted abs and ample curves in a stunning white and gold Chloé dress. With some fans already dubbing the look her (post-Harry Styles breakup) “revenge dress,” the glamorous piece showed off her tiny waist and it highlighted her toned figure—all while her ongoing custody battle with ex Jason Sudeikis continues.

Her jaw-dropping ensemble certainly seized the spotlight on the Met steps, and the Don’t Worry Darling director also had a humorous twinning moment with Vogue China editor and fellow attendee Margaret Zhang, who donned a similar dress in black and gold. Wilde’s number is based on a 1983 Karl Lagerfeld design. It certainly fit the event’s theme, as it celebrated the opening of the Costume Institute exhibition “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”

Inside Wilde & Sudeikis' Tumultuous Custody Battle

Wilde made headlines last month as the custody battle over her two kids with ex Sudeikis went on. She was in a relationship with the Ted Lasso actor from 2011 to 2020. The former couple share one 8-year-old son Otis and 6-year-old daughter Daisy. Most recently, last month the Tron: Legacy actress and her legal team called for a judgement on child support, as per documents obtained by The Blast.

Wilde alleges that she is incurring most of the expenses for her and the Saturday Night Live alum's children. She claims that Sudeikis is "not currently paying child support to me, despite my requests through counsel that we agree upon an interim support amount to avoid further litigation in this matter."

Wilde added, "While Jason and I have been splitting certain expenses for the children, such as their school tuition, I have been bearing 100% of the costs of the children's care when they are with me, including, but not limited to, their food, clothing, childcare, extracurricular activities, and transportation costs."

Olivia Wilde see-through Met after party look

After her showstopping Chloé white revenge dress, Wilde's after-party was even edgier. Her second look of the night was noticeably chic and daring. Olivia donned a netted metallic silver dress that was completely see-through and revealed a risqué black thong. The peekaboo thong trend was a staple of Y2K-era style that's been making a comeback in recent months.

To add another edgy touch to her look, Wilde paired her dress with chunky platform booties to match her black thong and held a gold clutch. Plus, she didn't add other accessories and kept the look simple and effortlessly chic.

Although Wilde did not post a photo of her after-party look, fan accounts were quick to share the outfit on Instagram. The account checkthetag posted the look and fans rushed to the comments. One fan even commented, "This looks way better than the look she showed up in at the met!"
