A-listers soak up the sun during European summer holidays
It's official: Every celebrity is sunning themselves in Europe right now.
Australians might be waking up to freezing temperatures, but on the other side of the world, it's a Northern summer and the rich and famous are making the most of the weather.
American actress and director Olivia Wilde is the latest celeb to turn their out of office on – she was spotted soaking up the Sicilian sun in the seaside town of Taormina.
The Don't Worry Darling director, 40, was seen emerging from the Mediterranean Sea in a tiny two-piece bikini. She was on holiday with her friend, film producer Saul Germaine.
Also in Taormina – who knew this small Sicilian town was such a celeb hotspot? – Helen Hunt. The 62-year-old star is enjoying a career resurgence thanks to her memorable role on the streaming hit Hacks, and recently opened up about the 'misery and shame' she felt at the peak of her 90s fame as she tried to live up to Hollywood's exacting beauty standards.
Over on the Spanish holiday isle of Ibiza, Kate Moss' model daughter Lila, 22, is doing as all good nepo babies should: Spending her summer on holiday.
Challengers and The Crown hunk Josh O'Connor, 35, takes a dip in the exclusive Italian seaside resort town of Portofino, where he's enjoying a romantic getaway with girlfriend Alison Oliver:
Also coupled up in Italy: Singer Billie Eilish, 23, with her singer and actor boyfriend Nat Wolff, seen leaving Venice via a water taxi. The pair's smoochy Italian getaway has confirmed the recent speculation that they are indeed an item.
Noughties singer James Blunt, 51, is clearly still doing OK off the royalties from You're Beautiful – he and wife Sofia were spotted living it up on a yacht in the French Riviera:
And another big noughties star, former Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, looked sensational at 50 in this low-cut swimsuit. She was spotted having some fun (and a lot of PDA) in the sun at Marbella in Spain with her husband, José Bastón.
Longoria, at least, wasn't on holiday, having purchased a home in Marbella in 2023 and moving to Spain last year.
'The first time I came to Marbella, two decades ago, it was love at first sight. I said to myself: 'Some day I'll live here,'' she told Hello! last January.
The star's Marbella estate features lush gardens, a pool and even a huge private cinema.
Longoria is one of a number of Hollywood stars who've moved across the pond recently – among them Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell and Richard Gere.

Ezra Miller gives bizarre interview about ‘tentative' Hollywood return after shocking Cannes appearance
Ezra Miller gave a rare — and peculiar — interview in which they addressed their return to Hollywood as well as their extremely surprising Cannes appearance earlier this year. The actor posed on the red carpet for the first time in two years at the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival in Cagliari, Italy, on Thursday and told Italian outlet, Lo Speciale Giornale, that their relationship to cinema is now 'on tentative grounds'. Miller — who had a slew of legal issues in 2022 — also spoke out about their blink-and-you-miss-it red carpet appearance at Cannes in May, during which they sprinted across the media line at the premiere of Lynne Ramsey's Die, My Love, reports The New York Post's Page Six. 'I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world who is Lynne Ramsey — who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers,' Miller said of Ramsey, who previously directed Miller in 2011's We Need to Talk About Kevin. Miller claimed they're writing an unnamed film with Ramsey, and added, 'that will likely be the first thing I do' when returning to Hollywood. 'I've been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude,' Miller remarked, 'which has been friendly to me'. They also said they'd 'do anything' for Ramsey, despite Cannes being a 'tough re-entry point' to the industry. 'If you've been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes, where every photographer and every weirdo, every rich genocidal freak be there, you know what I mean?' The Perks of Being a Wallflower star was memorably arrested and charged in Hawaii following two alleged incidents at a karaoke bar in March 2022, to which they pleaded no contest. Then, they were hit with a restraining order by two residents claiming they harassed and threatened them, which was later dropped. A month later, Miller was arrested on a second degree assault chair after they allegedly threw a chair and hit a woman during an encounter at a private residence. In June 2022, a parent accused Miller of grooming their child from the age of 12. Another parent came forward the same month with an allegation that Miller 'menaced their family one evening in their downstairs neighbour's home and acted inappropriately toward' a 12-year-old minor. No charges were filed against Miller and they later released a statement saying, 'I have been unjustly and directly targeted by an individual who the facts have shown has a history of such manipulative and destructive action'. That same month they were accused of allegedly housing a mother and her three children in an unsafe environment at a Vermont farm — though by August, Miller told cops the family hadn't lived there in months. Also in August 2022, Miller was accused of burglarising a Vermont home and allegedly stealing several bottles of alcohol. They pleaded guilty to misdemeanour unlawful trespass and was put on one-year probation. Miller issued an apology later that month and announced they were seeking treatment. 'Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,' they told Variety at the time. 'I want to apologise to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behaviour. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.' During the interview with the Italian outlet on Thursday, Miller seemingly addressed the drama, waxing philosophical in a rambling set of comments. 'When we go through those crucibles, if we can survive, which was up in the air for me if I'm being real, we then have that capacity to see other people in their crucibles and just to reach towards them,' they said. 'I think that grows more and more rarefied in our world too. Like, the capacity to do that, the desire to do that, the willingness to do that,' they continued. 'We've become very consumed in notions of perception, self-perception, how we're perceived in the world. I really believe in digging past that and being a friend to people. And the people who did that for me, they have my lifelong devotion,' they explained. 'And also I'm grateful for the revelations of who was not that,' they said. 'When you work in this industry, you'll find yourself in deep, deep relation with a lot of people who do not give a single f**k about you, or your well-being, at all. And so, not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss.'

Jannik Sinner stuns fans by announcing jaw-dropping new career endeavour
Jannik Sinner has swapped tennis swinging for tenor singing with his shock new music collaboration. The World No1 tennis star, 23, has proven his ability with a racquet in hand. But now he will be hoping his shock new venture with Andrea Bocelli is anything but a racket, The Sun reports. That is because the top male singles player has dropped his very own … single. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. The Australian Open and US Open champion – who served a controversial three-month doping ban earlier this year – has linked up with Italian compatriot and world-famous opera singer Bocelli, 66, to release their track. The celebrity duo's duet Polvere e Gloria – which translates as 'Dust and Glory' in English – will be released on Friday, with a teaser video featuring the pair launched on Thursday. Sinner says in the short clip: 'In our lives there will be many first times … all you need to do is be yourself.' And the three-time major winner will be hoping he smashes it rather than double faults as he aims to hit the notes … not the nets. Sinner follows in the footsteps of fellow tennis players Yannick Noah, Lorenzo Sonego, Denis Shapovalov and Corentin Moutet by releasing music – with the others having mixed levels of success. Bocelli, meanwhile, memorably sang at Leicester City's 5,000-1 Premier League title coronation for his friend Claudio Ranieri – and then made a surprise cameo on Match of the Day last month to bid Gary Lineker farewell. But tennis fans could barely believe the Sinner and Bocelli link-up was genuine. One said: 'I was confused for a moment, this is not AI I guess.' Another wrote: 'Wait this is real?! I need to sit with this for a bit.' A third added: 'Jannik you truly surprise us.' And a final user replied: 'Not on my 2025 bingo card.' Sinner suffered heartache in the epic, five-hour-29-minute French Open final as he lost to Carlos Alcaraz in dramatic fashion. The No1 seed took the opening two sets then had three match points in the fourth set before the Spaniard's sensational comeback. Sinner will be hoping to get revenge at Wimbledon where they could meet in another final – but Alcaraz is going for a hat-trick of grass-court crowns.
