Olivia Wilde shades Blue Origin after star-studded flight crew…

April 14, 2025

That don’t impress her much.

Olivia Wilde shaded Blue Origin after its star-studded, all-female flight crew completed a 10-minute recreational space mission Monday.

The actress-director, 41, took to her Instagram Story to share a carousel of memes posted by @betches, which began with a photo of pop star Katy Perry kissing the ground after she and her fellow passengers made it safely back to Texas.

The image was accompanied by the words “getting off a commercial flight in 2025 #BlueOrigin,” a reference to the barrage of aerial disasters that have occurred in recent months.

Wilde wrote atop the post, “Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess.”

Perry was joined by Lauren Sánchez, who is engaged to Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, broadcast journalist Gayle King, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn for the voyage.

The ladies made the trip in full glam and custom blue uniforms designed by Sánchez.

Wilde isn’t alone in her criticism of the flight.

Earlier this month, Olivia Munn also slammed the celebrity crew.

“I know this probably isn’t the cool thing to say, but there are so many other things that are so important in the world right now. … What are you guys gonna do up in space? What are you doing up there?” she said on “Today with Jenna and Friends.”

Host Bush Hager explained that the group would be floating around and admiring Earth from afar.

“I know this is probably obnoxious, but, like, it’s so much money to go to space, and there’s a lot of people who can’t even afford eggs,” Munn argued, referring to the recent spike in egg prices.

She later asked, “What’s the point? Is it historic that you guys are going on a ride? I think it’s a bit gluttonous. Space exploration was to further our knowledge and to help mankind. What are they gonna do up there that has made it better for us down here?”

Munn also wondered whether “all that rocket fuel is good” for the environment, noting that there are “a lot of resources being spent” on the journey.
