Naomi Watts layers up in an olive trench coat while working on the upcoming film The Friend in New York City
Naomi Watts was spotted while filming scenes for the upcoming drama film The Friend in New York City on Wednesday morning.
The 55-year-old actress layered up in warm clothing as she braved the winter chill while working on the project, in which she will star.
The Academy Award-nominated performer - who recently opened up about her courthouse wedding - donned an olive green trench coat, and its dark tone was offset by a paisley scarf.
Watts also wore black leggings and matching pairs of leather shoes and gloves while working on the movie.
The performer finished off her look for the day with a leather purse and matching beret, and her bright blonde hair gave her outfit a bit of extra brightness.
