Olivia Wilde flashed just a tiny bit of her toned tummy at the Los Angeles premiere of I Want Your Sex. The star plays artist Erika Tracy in the erotic thriller, which will premiere on July 31 in the US.

The movie follows Elliot (Cooper Hoffman) who becomes Erika's new assistant and sexual muse. Olivia admitted that it felt "liberating" to play the role in the movie. She told Variety: "I was just so excited by the fearlessness of it. It was incredible, so liberating, so fun."

The actress revealed that she got help from Madonna's stylist Arianne Phillips on the film. She said: "I am very grateful she came on to this movie because she created Erika. I mean, those outfits were unbelievable." She continued: "I mean, it was the least amount of clothing Ive worn on a set, but the most powerful [Ive felt]."

It comes after a study revealed that nearly 48% of Gen Z feel that sex was not necessary for the plot in most TV shows and films. The study's co-author Yalda T Uhls told IndieWire: "While its true that adolescents want less sex on TV and in movies, what the survey is really saying is that they want more and different kinds of relationships reflected in the media they watch".

Yalda went on: "We know that young people are suffering an epidemic of loneliness and theyre seeking modeling in the art they consume. While some storytellers use sex and romance as a shortcut to character connection, its important for Hollywood to recognize that adolescents want stories that reflect the full spectrum of relationships."

Olivia is also set to direct a holiday comedy called Naughty for Universal and LuckyChap Entertainment. This is as well as an adaptation of the cmic Avengelyne, which could star argot Robbie.

Olivia famously dated Harry Styles after they met on the set of her film Don't Worry Darling. Harry starred in the 2020 movie and Olivia directed it.

They split in November 2022 after nearly two years of dating.
