Vacation mode activated. Olivia Wilde ended her Instagram hiatus amid her split from Harry Styles with a beach photo.

“Best,” the actress, 38, captioned a Saturday, December 3, photo of herself and pal Babs Burchfield.

Wilde has her eyes closed and appears to be laughing in the photo, in which she and Burchfield are lounging in a hammock. The Booksmart director wears a dark bandeau bikini top in the snap.

In another pic shared via her Instagram Story the same day, Wilde was seen walking along a gorgeous beach with her hands raised toward the sky. “Mahalo,” she captioned the pic, using a Hawaiian word meaning thanks or gratitude.

It’s the first fans have heard from the O.C. alum since Us Weekly confirmed that she and Styles, 28, took a break from their romance last month. The pair were first linked in January 2021 when they were spotted attending Styles’ manager’s wedding together. A source exclusively told Us at the time that sparks flew between Wilde and the former One Direction member when she was directing him in the thriller Don’t Worry Darling.

“Harry and Olivia had chemistry almost instantaneously on set,” the insider said. “It was only a matter of time before they got together.”

News of the breakup made headlines just a few days after Wilde was spotted in the audience of the “Two Ghosts” singer’s Love On Tour concert with son Otis, 8, and daughter Daisy, 6, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis. A social media video showed the Tron: Legacy star dancing with her little ones as Styles performed his Grammy-nominated hit “As It Was.”

Styles was previously linked to Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner and Camille Rowe, while Wilde was married to Tao Ruspoli from 2003 to 2011 before her engagement to Sudeikis.
