that was all SO awkward. half of the cast didn't speak. florence didn't speak to olivia. or harry. NO one spoke to olivia. not even her alleged boyfriend. not a word. everyone ignored her. and in the cast picture, she was in the center instead of letting her leads be in the center. i'm hdjksaghdjka they all looked gorgeous but yikes.

Another angle. Idk guys, could be he coughed, tho it doesn't look like it.

It could probably be Chris being like "eeeeeeeeeek fucking awkward sitting in between these two....aaaaaa here we go yikes".

After an incredibly awkward and tense press day, where he looked like he wanted to launch himself into the canals half the time, like:

when you know everything could be so different, its heartbreaking

Hi Gina!!! This showed up on my twitter feed today … Do you believe that this is what H really said?

Hi, sugar. I really don’t. I’m no lip reader, but it looks to me as if he’s showing Nick where he hurt his finger and Nick is asking how he did it.

The goldfinch ring he was wearing on his middle finger seemed to have gotten damaged while he was there. He didn’t wear it for a little afterwards. Someone in the comments added this photo where you can see the cut and said it was from the concert the night afterwards (we do know he wore the peace ring that night after not wearing it for a long time).

Harry Styles watching the cast of DWD have fun while he’s held hostage by Olivia Wilde:

y’all this DWD premiere carpet footage… i’m getting second hand stress from the awkward tension going on. i feel so bad for the cast like this is supposed to be such a positive and momentous occasion but with all the drama stemming around Olivia and Harry the movie has kind of been pushed onto the back burner. and the fact that it’s the DIRECTOR’S fault* too like all because she couldn’t remain professional on set and decided to leave her very public relationship with her fiancé to start dating her male lead — again very publicly — like ??? seriously how unprofessional can you be

*i’m fully aware that some blame falls on Harry, i just feels like the bulk of it is on Olivia’s shoulders considering she clearly incited the relationship, and it was HER SET to manage. plus Harry has always kept his personal relationships as private as possible, so it feels obvious that the publicity of them together is much more her doing than his (even on the carpet you can see people from her team trying to force Harry to stand next to her in group shots / take photos with just her and he has declined).

mr harry styles you wrote things like "put a price on emotion, looking for something to buy" and "you can't bribe the door on your way to the sky" and you're telling me the best thing you could come up with to answer that question was "i like this movie cause it feels like a movie"

???????????

no, i REFUSE

[phierecycled]

No but how was the Don’t Worry Darling premiere, Lea Michele becoming Fanny Brice, the queen dying and D23 IN ONE WEEK?

Well.. there’s the post. I’m leaning massively towards petty and maybe someone was like enough now and she got the message that if she didn’t at least thank the crew it was a bad look (I’d noticed some of the bts people making more posts about Olivia and not mentioning Florence so I’d wondered if she did rub some people the wrong way). I dunno I’m not in a hurry to support her anytime soon right now and I’ve soured on her as a whole human with all of this. She’ll be fine, for now at least so good for her but it is what it is

Lol, took a while. I was thinking, "Is she genuinely not going to post anything or even name the film...? REALLY???!" :)

she came for the chaos and the chaos only 💅

Venice anon here! I was at the premiere just for the beginning and the end and it was, in my colleague’s opinion, “the most awkward one we’ve ever worked”, and we probably worked more than 200 between the two of us. The cast walked in without much fanfare while guests were still being seated, which is unusual. There was an award being given to the costume designer and the side of the gallery where crew was seated was louder for that than for the film. The costume designer gave a very nice thank you speech to Olivia and it seemed like things were going to go well for her but by the time we came back the vibe in the room was very different. It was one of the shortest applause we’ve ever seen, with the fact that Florence just started to walk away about 2 minutes in being the complete kiss of death. I am flabbergasted that a room full of fans and crew was so cold when it came to the end, like that is THE most forgiving room you’ll ever screen your film for. I guess they were picking up on the awkwardness of the cast vibes which was palpable. My colleague called it the “cringe mist”.

As far as Holivia interactions go, the one where they briefly whisper behind Chris’ back was literally the only one before and after the film. I was standing where I could see her directly and my girl was trying but Harry was literally saying hello to anyone who would look his way rather than locking eyes with her. I saw them standing before the screening and they were in separate groups, I’m sure they must have interacted but it definitely was not date night lol. Some of the Italian girls working as ushers there were saying “we should try, he’s obviously single” or something like that.

Re the Nick kiss, they did that because in the opening scene the characters joke kiss in the same way. We all know he would have picked Chris, cmon. Who, btw, was high as a fucking kite.

In general, this film is the talk of the town but the old motto of Olivia’s namesake about all press being good press doesn’t really apply here. She made such a spectacle of this and the film doesn’t nearly hold up, and all everyone’s talking about is how insane this rollout have been. Her and Harry are the ones that are coming out of this worse, and I’m so happy he has My Policeman coming out soon because otherwise I fear his acting career might not have the longevity we all hoped.

Dear Venice anon,

Thanks for coming back! I love your details!

Trust me, the “cringe mist” was felt all the way over here. I was dying of second hand embarrassment for H. I think everyone with eyes and a working brain could see and feel the awkward and cringe vibes. And everyone ignoring Olivia, especially Florence and Harry, was abundantly obvious!

I just hope that whatever they're doing, this marks the start of the "are they still together?" press that inevitably ends in breakup articles everywhere when the movie drops.

Olivia's got what was coming for her. She greedily lapped up every single ounce of Harry Styles' fame for herself for the past two years, and inserted herself in every single tabloid and narrative to sell this movie. Her team must SUCK, because evidently they're a bunch of yes-people, bc no way a good team would have advised her to do this knowing full well her movie doesn't hold up. Heck, the entire fandom has been saying this for years - so that's evidence enough.

I kind of love that Harry kissed Nick after the movie was shown. Everyone in attendance obviously knew his joke - but to literally the rest of the world who hasn't seen the movie yet, to them and the press, it's Harry Styles excitedly kissing his male co-star after ignoring his alleged girlfriend during her own movie premiere. THAT speaks volumes tbh.

I agree, I am SO GLAD that H has My Policeman coming bc all the press he's gotten from DWD and his interviews, paired with the film's terrible reviews would have meant certain death to his acting career otherwise. "Just another singer who thinks they can act". I'm VERY hopeful that his name and acting career are redeemed thru My Policeman. The film, and Harry's Tom, have gotten nothing but praise so far. And the fact that the whole cast has already won an award is so telling.

I knewwwww Chris was high as kite kauhgdkasjhd he looked it. Damn he had a lot on his shoulders: promoting a movie he doesn't want to be associated with, with a director he doesn't like, for a film he knows is shit, AND he was the designated Holivia buffer all day, having to sit and stand between them or next to Olivia all day long so that H could be as far from her as possible. GOD - I too would like to not be sober for that.

I'm sad for Harry that Olivia's greed, unprofessionalism and lack of directing talent affected his performance in this movie so terribly. he got no time to rehearse, as he jumped on the project merely a few weeks before filming. Had no time to work thru things with a dialect coach, flesh out scenes or receive good direction for the final takes.

Glad your friend realizes his queerness. Sad it had to be this way tho. It does remind me of when we got those god awful holivia yacht kissing pap pics - and everyone was like "ewwww Harry Styles must be terrible in bed! He has no sex appeal or knows how to touch that woman!".......which....well....self explanatory. I hope Harry gets to redeem his acting skills in a new movie where he can show that with a proper director, professional environment and adequate time for rehearsals he too can convey sexual chemistry and passion with a woman on screen. Real life tho....better step away from the stunts for a while.
