Anne Hathaway protects her fair skin with an umbrella as Sarah Paulson looks bleary eyed on set of Ocean's Eight

Anne Hathaway and Sarah Paulson were back to work on set of Ocean's Eight on Wednesday.

The actresses appeared to have an early start as they prepared to shoot scenes for the heist comedy in a very chilly New York.

Anne, 34, protected her alabaster skin with an umbrella as she was escorted to set by two staff members.

The actress wore gym attire and a black cardigan while clutching a green juice drink and a book under one arm.

Anne appeared to have already been to the makeup chair as she showed off a bold red lip but covered her eyes with sunglasses.

In contrast Sarah, 42, was makeup-free as she wrapped up in warm layers and Ugg boots.

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed Anne is to star in the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake.

The Les Miserables beauty is in talks to join the previously-cast Rebel Wilson in the upcoming twist on the con-artist comedy, which will now be called Nasty Women.

The film will see the gender roles reversed from the 1988 saga - which starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine as two men competing to swindle an heiress, played by Glenne Headly, out of her fortune - as Anne and Rebel play two cultured scam artists competing to take billions from a naive tech prodigy.

As with the first movie, Nasty Women is expected to show differences in class between the two con artists.

Jac Schaffer - who has been working on The Shower for Anne - is writing the script for the film, but it doesn't yet have a director.
