Tilda Swinton is currently in Sydney, Australia filming George Miller’s upcoming fantasy film, Three Thousands Years of Longing.

Tilda stepped out of the cab briefly to have her makeup touched up by her team of stylists. 

She looked eye-catching in a long, mustard-coloured coat, underneath which she had on what appeared to be a smart orange dress. 

To match her colour palette, Tila opted for bright red lipstick and a hint of coral blush.

Her ageless visage looked line-free and glowing, and she had on a pair of round glasses. 

Tilda looked pensive as she filmed the scenes, either waiting patiently between takes or gazing out the window in thought. 

According to IMDb, the film is about a ‘lonely and bitter British woman’ who encounters a genie during a trip to Istanbul.

‘I’ve never had any ambition as an artist. That may sound crazy and transgressive, but it’s a fact,’ she told the publication.

‘If you’d asked me when I was 10 or 20, I would have said my only ambitions were to live in a family, to have friends that made me laugh and laughed at my jokes, and to live in the Highlands of Scotland, by the sea with a lot of dogs and a kitchen garden. Seriously.

‘And I have been really blessed to be able to achieve them. Everything else is a bonus. Everything else is just icing and candles and flowers alongside.’
