She has been busy filming for the new series of Peaky Blinders.

But sticking her teeth into a new project on Monday, Charlotte Riley was seen for the first time on set for Danny Boyle's star-studded new TV series Trust.

The actress, 35, cut a sophisticated figure as she stepped out in her vintage costume for the 10-part drama that tells the story of John Paul Getty III, heir to the Getty family's oil fortune.

Re-fuelling: Charlotte Riley, 35, was spotted filming for Danny Boyle's star-studded new series Trust for the first time on Monday in Littlebury, Essex

Charlotte - who is married to Taboo's Tom Hardy - was clad in a monochrome two-piece that teamed together a pencil dress and matching fitted blazer.

The Wuthering Heights star's frock sheathed her slender frame and featured a colour block design that was separated by a white belt and buckle at the waist.

She hung a pair of specs from the neckline of her 70s-inspired dress and her brunette tresses had been swept up into a voluminous and elegant chignon.

Sporting subtle make-up, Charlotte was spotted taking some time out to re-fuel while on set in Littlebury, Essex.

She quenched her thirst with a beverage in one hand, while clutching onto her mobile phone in the other.

In character: She was joined by Hollywood veteran Donald Sutherland, 81, who will star as billionaire John Paul Getty - founder of the Getty Oil Company - in the 10-part drama

And action! Boyle cut a casual figure as he got to work on the series which he is directing and an executive producer of

Little is known so far about Charlotte's character in the series. Trust is based on billionaire John Paul Getty - the founder of the Getty family dynasty.

He founded the Getty Oil Company and was named the richest living American in 1957 by Fortune magazine.

Forsaken star Donald Sutherland, 81, stars as John Paul Getty in the series, directed by Danny Boyle.

The duo had joined Charlotte on set and while Donald was clad in a three-piece suit and glasses, Danny cut a more casual figure as he set about directing the upcoming series.

Star-studded: The series also includes Hilary Swank among the cast as Gail Getty - the mother of John Paul Getty III - she wasn't pictured filming in Essex

It is expected to air on FX next year and will tell the tale of Getty's grandson, John Paul Getty III, the heir to the family's oil fortune.

Set in 1973, John Paul Getty III is kidnapped in Rome and held to a multi-million dollar ransom. The series follows his kidnapping which is taken as a prank by Italian police and ignored by his family members.

Boyle is an executive producer on the star-studded series which also includes Hilary Swank among the cast as Gail Getty - the mother of John Paul Getty III.

While she wasn't pictured filming in Essex with her co-stars, Fortitude actress Veronica Echegui and A Beautiful Mind star Michael Esper had joined Riley, Sutherland and The Mummy actor Brendan Fraser.

Fraser was clad in a smart shirt and trousers combo which he paired with a black tie and cowboy hat.

Sophie Winkleman, meanwhile, sported a fur-trimmed wrap-over dress that sat at the knee, along with a pair of leather gloves.

She wore a beaded necklace around her neck and was sporting a head-piece that sat atop of her perfectly curled tresses.

Sophie is also known as Lady Frederick Windsor, as she is married to Lord Frederick Windsor - the son of the Queen's cousin Prince Michael of Kent.

She is related to Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman, as they share the same paternal father Barry Winkleman, and is most known for her role in Peep Show.
