She has gone from working in front of the camera to stepping behind it for the first time for her feature film debut.
And Olivia Wilde looked nothing short of sensational as she was joined by Billie Lourd at a photocall for her film Booksmart in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The first-time director, 35, cut an elegant figure for the event where she donned a black blazer and matching trousers.

Letting her blonde locks fall loose down her shoulders, Olivia completed her look for the day with several necklaces.
Billie Lourd, who plays Gigi in the coming-of-age film, looked stylish in a black long-sleeved dress with structured shoulders and a pleated hemline.
The actress, 27, cinched her waist with a black belt and added height to her frame with a pair of matching ankle boots.
Kaitlyn Dever, who stars as Amy Anstler in the film, was also in attendance at the photocall where she donned a black leather jacket and a brown printed dress with a deep v-neckline.

Meanwhile, Nico Haraga, 21, who plays Tanner in the film, also joined his co-stars at the event and wore a white bomber jacket with blue jeans and a blue cap.
Booksmart, which also stars Lisa Kudrow and Olivia’s fiancé Jason Sudeikis, follows two teenage girls who decide to finally break the rules and party on their last day of classes.
The event comes after Olivia was recently addressed by a Twitter user who complained about the cuts made to the comedy when it was shown on a Delta airlines flight.

The user noted that a romantic scene between Kaitlyn and actress Diana Silvers was omitted, while other similar embraces featuring male and female characters remained untouched.
‘Tried watching Booksmart on the plane and they cut the ENTIRE lesbian hookup scene like not even a KISS was allowed!’ the user wrote. ‘Oh but don’t worry guys, the Straights got their kiss.’
Olivia responded, saying, ‘This is truly a bummer,’ as ‘there is no nudity in this scene,’ and asking, ‘What makes it too obscene for airplane viewing? What airline?’
The New York native told Variety that she didn’t as she understand why the film was being cut on airlines.

Fun: Kaitlin, Olivia and Billie all shared a joke as they posed for a snap at the photocall
‘There’s censorship, airline to airline, of films, which there must be some kind of governing board to determine,’ said Olivia. ‘We rate it a certain way. If it’s not X-rated, surely it’s acceptable on an airplane.’
Olivia compared the sexuality displayed in her coming-of-age film to other films in which bloodshed is the norm.
‘There’s insane violence of bodies being smashed in half and yet a love scene between two women is censored from the film,’ she said.
‘It’s such an integral part of this character’s journey. I don’t understand it. My heart just broke.’
The filmmaker said she’s ‘trying to get to the bottom of’ the issue, as she wants ‘people to experience the entire film.’

Actress Beanie Feldstein, who plays Molly in the film, said that people were ‘on the case to get this rectified’ amid the airline censorship.
‘Our movie is a beautiful representation of the queer experience as young people,’ Feldstein told the outlet. ‘I’m a queer person. So we’re getting to the bottom of it, don’t worry.’
While it was not immediately clear which specific airline was being discussed, social media users said Delta was censoring the film on its flights.
The airline told Variety that it didn’t request ‘the removal of homosexual content from the film,’ as it values ‘diversity and inclusion as core to our culture and our mission,’ the outlet reported.
Delta said it will audit its current practices ‘to ensure edited video content doesn’t conflict with these values,’ and that they also employ the use of a editing company as a third party.
