Olivia Wilde<\/strong> sparked conversation at the Sundance Film Festival with both her fashion choice and her political stance.<\/p>\n

For the premiere of her new film,\u00a0The Invite, in Park City, Utah, the mother of two<\/a> stepped onto the red carpet in a sheer, lace-strapped gown that immediately turned heads. The dress featured a bustier-style top reminiscent of delicate nightwear, paired with a flowing slip-style skirt. Lace panels were sewn across the bodice, with additional lace detailing along the hem and slit of the skirt. She styled the look with knee-high boots, her signature smoky eye, and nude lips, and debuted a fresh blonde hue worn down in effortless waves.<\/p>\n

Olivia Wilde Steps Out In A Lace Dress At Sundance Film Festival<\/h2>\n

The 41-year-old<\/a> is debuting The Invite, her third directorial effort following\u00a0Booksmart\u00a0and Don\u2019t Worry Darling.<\/p>\n

Beyond the daring dress, one detail in particular ignited online discussion: an \u201cice out\u201d white pin worn on one side of her chest. The accessory was meant as a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Other stars, including Natalie Portman, were also seen wearing the pin in solidarity.<\/p>\n

Speaking with\u00a0Variety, Wilde addressed her motivation, saying, \u201cThis country is hurting. I\u2019m appalled and sickened. We can\u2019t go another day accepting this as our new norm. It\u2019s outrageous. People are being murdered, and I don\u2019t want to normalize seeing that violence\u2014on the internet or on film. It\u2019s hideous. If we can do anything to support the movement to cast ICE out and delegitimize this criminal organization, then that\u2019s what we should be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social Media Reacts To Olivia Wilde’s Statement On ICE<\/h2>\n

However, not everyone online was receptive to her message. Some social media users expressed frustration with celebrities weighing in on political issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One Instagram user wrote, \u201cCelebrities shouldn’t speak on any of this at all.\u201d Another commented, \u201cAnother millionaire celebrity blabbing.\u201d A third added, \u201cThen she goes home to her gated house.\u201d A fourth noted, \u201cNobody care\u2019s about celebrities political views- they live in a warped existence.\u201d A fifth remarked, \u201cAnother celebrity bandwagoner, surprise surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of late January 2026, Minneapolis has become the center of intense protests and political backlash<\/a> following a large-scale federal immigration enforcement operation known as \u201cOperation Metro Surge.\u201d Thousands of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection agents were deployed across the Twin Cities in what officials described as the largest enforcement effort in Minnesota\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

The operation has resulted in widespread raids, arrests, and several deadly encounters, including the fatal shooting of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti, which sparked public outrage and ignited days of demonstrations. The response has been swift and heated. Thousands of residents have taken to the streets, staging marches, strikes, and protests demanding the removal of federal agents and an end to aggressive enforcement tactics. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has publicly called for federal agents to withdraw, citing safety concerns and alleged constitutional violations, while state and local officials have filed lawsuits against the federal government. As tensions continue to escalate, Minneapolis has emerged as a national flashpoint in the broader debate over immigration enforcement, civil liberties, and federal authority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
