Jessica Chastain wraps up in a beige coat and blue skinny jeans during stroll in NYC

She has a slew of projects slated to come to screens soon including The Eyes of Tammy Faye and The Forgiven. 

And Jessica Chastain opted for a laid back look as she stepped out for a stroll in New York City on Sunday. 

The actress, 43, was seen carrying two large bouquets of flowers with her on the outing after she stopped off at a Whole Foods Market.

The film star wrapped up in a beige coat which she wore with a navy jumper and matching skinny jeans.

Jessica put safety first for the day with a black face mask while she also sported a grey beanie hat and glasses.

Wrapping up further with a blue scarf, the Zero Dark Thirty star completed her look with a pair of white trainers.   

The outing comes after Jessica stated that she will be receiving the same pay as her costars for the upcoming spy thriller film The 355.

The film, which is currently set for a 2022 release, will also feature Lupita Nyong’o, Penelope Cruz, and Diane Kruger. 

The actress spoke to Shape about how she brought the idea up to her costars and noted that if they were being looked to as promoters for the film, then they needed to be paid accordingly.

‘A lot of times, our names are used to sell movies, and that’s how the money is raised for them,’ she explained, ‘so I thought, If our names are being sold, then we need to be the owners of the film.’ 

She then told her castmates that in lieu of looking to a major studio to completely prop up the project’s financial ends, they would take an active role in raising funds fo the film in order to receive a direct portion of its profits.

The actress recounted the pitch that she gave to her costars: ‘We’re going to sell the distribution rights to raise the budget for the film, and then everyone owns a portion of the box office.’

Jessica was surprised that the deal had actually worked in her favour, but also intimated that her push for a different pay standard had the potential to start a new trend of performers retaining ownership of their own projects.

‘I don’t know if anything like this has been done before, and honestly, I’m a bit shocked I got away with it…But hopefully it creates a new model in which artists can own their work,’ she stated.

This is not the first time that Chastain has made a push for a costar to receive fair payment for their work; in 2011, she successfully campaigned for Octavia Spencer to get five times the amount she requested for working on The Shape Of Water.

In speaking about her work efforts for equal payment on The 355, the Molly’s Game actress noted that she preferred to have her actions speak louder than her words.

She said: ‘When it comes to fighting for pay equality, I would rather just do it and not talk about it. I think it’s actually more powerful if I don’t have to explain it.’
