Hilary Duff arrives on the set of her Younger show in a face mask… after experiencing ‘anxiety’

Earlier this month she moved from her Beverly Hills home to an apartment in New York City to begin filming the seventh and final season of her hit series Younger. 

And on Thursday morning, Hilary Duff arrived on set in a reddish orange jumpsuit, striped wool scarf and a large black Chanel handbag.  

As she held onto an ice coffee and chatted with costars Sutton Foster and Molly Bernard, the 33-year-old star held onto a copy of Brit Bennett’s The Vanishing Half.

After the series’ trio of leading ladies caught up in Central Park, ahead of shooting, they went from standing in a circle to waiting outside the makeup trailers together. 

Duff appeared to have already memorized her lines, as she dove into her latest read, while wearing a protective face mask.

Like the Lizzie McGuire alum, both Foster, 45, and Bernard, 32, both kept their mouths and noses covered, in accordance with New York City’s mask mandate.

Foster, who is a two-time Tony Award winner, sported a white graphic t-shirt, adorned with lemons, a pair of aqua sweatpants and a pair of floral slip-on sneakers.

Meanwhile, Bernard sported a white and pink Biden Harris t-shirt, black slacks and Gucci slides. 

The actress’ political t-shirt comes as she continues to urge her more than 99,700 followers to have a voting plan for the upcoming US election.

Earlier in October, Hilary shared a photo of herself comparing the start of filming Younger to going back to school.

‘First day of school tomorrow (work). I can already feel the anxiety of needing to get a good night of sleep creeping up on me,’ she captioned a shot of herself.

She costars on Younger with series lead Sutton Foster as Kelsey Peters, a young editor at a book publisher.

She and and Sutton’s character, Liza Miller, become friends after Liza lies about her age to get a job at the youth-obsessed industry.

To mark her return to set, Hilary shared a video of her pained expressions as she got her first rapid COVID-19 test for the show. 

Hilary lowered her facial covering to her chin to allow for the nasal swab to be inserted effectively into her nose, for her 15 million followers to watch on Instagram.
