Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh 'avoided each other' at a pre-Oscars bash following the rumoured on-set feud between the pair.
Director Wilde, 39, reportedly clashed with actress Pugh, 27, while filming Don't Worry Darling in a drama filled production.
The pair were both at the Creative Artists Agency’s star-studded bash at Sunset Tower Hotel in Los Angeles on Friday night but were not seen together.
According to sources, the former co-workers did not greet each other or interact.
The party had countless A-list guests including Elton John, Leonardo DiCaprio, Demi Moore, Vin Diesel and Sandra Bullock.

The b ehind the scenes drama of Don’t Worry Darling became more of a talking point than the film itself.
According to Vulture, a source who worked on the film said Olivia and Florence suffered a “blowout argument” when the project was one third of the way through filming.
Florence grew frustrated by Olivia’s “frequent, unexplained absences” on set, despite her in the directing role.
Other drama surrounding the film came as allegations Olivia fired original star Shia LaBeouf, 36, and replacing him with Harry Styles.
Shia claimed he quit the project.
Olivia was in the process of splitting from fiancé and father of her two children, actor Jason Sudeikis, 47, when filming started in 2020.

The Vulture source said: “Olivia and Harry would just disappear” - hinting the romance between Olivia and Harry which began during production could have been a source of frustration for Florence.

A source told PageSix: “I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry.”
Some reports have suggested the pair got together in January 2020 - while Olivia and Jason’s relationship was reported as over in November that year.
Olivia and Florence seemed to clash when footage emerged of Olivia in conversation with Shia and remarking: “I think this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo.”
Florence then pulled out of promoting the film soon after the footage leaked - being absent from screenings at the Venice Film Festival and the New York premiere.
