Awkwafina was spotted out in New York City’s Central Park this week as she worked on her latest movie.
The 36-year-old comedic actress — who attended the Golden Globes in January — filmed scenes from the forthcoming holiday movie The Man With The Bag in an eye-popping look.
Standing at just 5ft1in, she commanded attention in mint blue and white snow suit that included a bubble cape and and coordinating flared trousers.
The star, born Nora Lum, also lugged around the film’s eponymous red bag, which was complete with gray fur trim.
She finished her kooky look with the addition of a long, silky red wig that was styled with a side part.
