Costume designer Arianne Phillips has discussed her collaborations with Olivia Wilde on two new films, "The Invite" and Gregg Araki's "I Want Your Sex," building on their earlier work together on "Don't Worry Darling." Phillips praised Wilde's fearlessness both as a director and as a performer, noting her willingness to take creative risks with her body and image on screen, while also highlighting how Wilde balances a strong personal vision with openness to her collaborators' ideas.

For "The Invite," a script by Will McCormick and Rashida Jones set over a single evening, Phillips deliberately limited the cast's costume changes and avoided pre-empting audience impressions of characters played by Penélope Cruz and Edward Norton, instead letting the dialogue and performances reveal them. Wilde stars opposite Seth Rogen as a married couple whose relationship is under strain when they host their neighbours for dinner. In "I Want Your Sex," Wilde plays Erika Tracy, a sexually confident artist opposite Cooper Hoffman's younger character Elliot, with Phillips citing Madonna as an inspiration for the film's styling and describing Wilde's fearless approach to portraying the role.
