Naomi Watts looked effortlessly stylish as she joined Carla Gugino in New York City on Friday to shoot scenes for her new film The Friend.
The actress, 55, layered up in an array of autumnal outfits as she filmed for the drama - in which she will take on the leading role - around Greenwich Village.
She cut a chic figure in a plaid shirt and a yellow jumper, which she styled with navy trousers and chunky brown boots.
Naomi completed her ensemble with a red jacket and tucked her golden locks underneath an olive beanie hat as she stepped out to shoot scenes.
She was seen carrying her essentials in a brown leather handbag as she got into character while on set at Washington Square Park.

Naomi then changed into another stylish ensemble as she joined her co-star Carla, 52, in walking her Great Dane around Tribeca.
She sported an olive jacket and black trousers, which she teamed with brown shoes and a black beret as she walked the dog, who plays a central part in the film's plot.
The Impossible star swept a patterned scarf around her neck to complete the look as she chatted to Carla during the scenes.
Carla looked equally stylish in olive trousers and a brown wrap-around jacket, which she paired with black boots.
She kept her essentials slung over one shoulder in a brown handbag and carried an umbrella in one hand for the scenes.

The upcoming movie adaptation of The Friend is based on Sigrid Nunez's novel of the same name, which was published in 2018.
The book is centred on a novelist, played by Naomi, who takes in an older Great Dane after its owner - who was her friend and mentor - passes away.
Also making up the cast are Bill Murray and Constance Wu, while it will be co-directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel.
The release date is yet to be confirmed and little more has been revealed about the movie adaptation so far.
