A free spirit who grew up in an intellectual Irish-American clan renowned on both sides of the Atlantic, Wilde is the daughter of award-winning journalists who were equally celebrated for A-list dinner parties so raucous that Mick Jagger once told little Olivia to go to bed. At 18, she eloped with an Italian prince from an even more glamorous family (his father, a famous playboy, reportedly inspired Federico Fellini's classic film La Dolce Vita), complete with a 1,000-year-old castle.

As for Wilde's career, after graduating from Phillips Academy, a prestigious prep school in Massachusetts, and begging her parents for a year to let her try her luck in Los Angeles before starting college, she succeeded so quickly that further schooling didn't stand a chance. And now, with six new movies on the way, the 27-year-old actress has graduated from up-and-coming status to full-fledged stardom.

Not that anyone cares about her history after they've been mesmerized by her almond-shaped green eyes and knife-blade cheekbones. We're supposed to have lunch at New York's Museum of Modern Art, but despite Wilde's arresting looks, I can't find her in the crowded lobby — until she suddenly materializes right in front of me. She's so tall (well, OK, she's wearing really high-heeled boots) and otherworldly that it's immediately apparent why she's the go-to sex symbol for smart geeks. "It was very odd to see people dressed up as me for Halloween," admits Wilde, whose Tron: Legacy bodysuit made an indelible impression on besotted sci-fi nerds.

Olivia Wilde shows off her perfect figure and stunning beauty on the cover of Marie Claire where she talks about her life as a single lady after divorcing from her husband after 8 years of marriage, filmmaker Tao Ruspoli. Check out next what Olivia has to say about her life! Divorces usually end badly especially when it's between the rich and famous, but in Olivia's case as she states they are friends, and his family is her family. In an interview with Marie Claire for the August 2011issue, Olivia Wilde explains that the divorce she has gone through has been humbling.

“The trauma of the whole thing has been humbling, and for the first time I'm a bit wobbly. I'm a case of arrested development, in a way -- from spending your 20s with someone who really loves you, as my husband did. But I think it's healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.” Olivia seems to be a very strong woman who knows what she wants as she doesn't regret her past decisions with regards to her getting married at just 20 years old. She says “even though it didn't work, there's nothing I regret about any of it. We're friends; his family is my family. You always have a choice to feel angry and not be friends. But I can't handle the idea of walking into a room and seeing someone I have bad blood with. I can't keep any negative relationship with anyone.”

Not many people can be as positive after getting divorced, but it seems that Olivia definitely knows to look at the positive side of the entire situation as she says “I think it's made me a better actress. Weakness is something we don't like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.” Now Olivia is back on the market and we bet that men will be prepared to sweep her off her feet. However, this won't be easy as Olivia says she has high standards when it comes to everything, so men, conquering this 28 year old hottie won't be easy.

She says: “I'm trying to be adult, entering the shark pool of dating, but I'm hopeless at it. In the end, maybe it's just that I'm a ridiculous romantic. I have very high standards for every part of life -- my work, my relationships, food, love. I can't just pretend.”
