She's back in Sydney to film scenes for popular crime drama Top Of The Lake.

And on Monday, Nicole Kidman's grey wig matched the dreary skies of Sydney as the actress shivered and pouted her way through the city's coldest day in 20 years.

With her famous red tresses covered by the wig, the 49-year-old did her best to combat the chilly conditions wearing an oversized puffer jacket and ugg boots.

Nicole also kept comfortable in what seemed to be light grey pyjamas pants that featured a paisley print and a dark singlet top underneath her coat. 

At one point the mother-of-four was seen pouting as she stood around on-set in between takes.

Not letting the average weather spoil her day, Nicole was also seen laughing and joking around with production crew.

The Sydney-born star's hair was styled in an up-do while the make-up to help her get into character made her look much older than her 49 years.

The Moulin Rouge star will appear alongside Mad Man actress Elisabeth Moss, who has returned for the second series of the TV show along with Game Of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie.

The Hollywood A-Lister plays an undisclosed supporting character in the second season of the hit UK-Australian show, which is directed by her close pal Jane Campion and centres around the disappearance of 12-year-old Tui, who is five months pregnant.

The last time Nicole was in Australia to film a local TV production was back in 1989, when she starred in the three-part miniseries Bangkok Hilton.

According to The Daily Telegraph, Foxtel boss Brian Walsh said it had taken a year to secure Nicole's appearance of the series.

'Having Nicole on board is such a great endorsement of the high-concept television we are producing here now,' he said.

'I don’t think there’s been a better time for Australian television.'
