Wilde discusses her reaction to casting the former One Direction member in Don’t Worry Darling in an interview for Styles’ Vogue cover story. Wilde also discusses her enthusiasm with Arianne Phillips, an Oscar contender, and the film’s costume designer. “She and I did a little victory dance when we found out we had Harry in the film,” Wilde said (via People). “We knew he has a real appreciation for fashion and style.” “This film is also extremely stylish. It’s really heightened and sumptuous, and I’m pleased that he’s excited about that aspect of the process—some performers don’t seem to care.”

Photographs of Wilde and Styles touching hands circulate online in early 2021, eliciting a barrage of questions. At the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California, the new couple was seen attending his agent’s wedding.
Harpers Bazaar reported that the new couple had been dating for some time. “They were in Montecito, California this weekend for a wedding.” “They were affectionate around their friends, held hands, and looked very happy. They have dated for a few weeks.” Twitter immediately mourns the fact that Styles is no longer single.
Wilde and Styles got to know each other on the set of Don’t Worry, Darling, and their romance blossomed from there. “Olivia and Harry are together for long days on set and have gotten to know each other really well, so it’s all very organic,” the source revealed. “[Olivia] wouldn’t let a romantic relationship get in the way of a professional one, so anything they’re doing is being done thoughtfully.”
More public displays of affection only serve to cement their reputation as Hollywood’s newest power couple. During filming, Wilde and Styles worked hard to keep their relationship a secret. According to US Weekly, “Olivia and Harry were able to keep their relationship under wraps for a while until it became public knowledge.” “They were quite cautious and even sleuth about it at times, but the tiny number of people who worked with them every day eventually figured it out.”
