Filming for The Beguiled began last week.

And on Wednesday Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning, Colin Farrell and Kirsten Dunst were all spotted on set for the first time, clad in 1860s Western fashion appropriate for the Western drama.

Screenwriter and director Sofia Coppola is reuniting with Fanning after their 2010 film Somewhere, to create the star-studded remake of the 1971 film.

Meanwhile, 34-year-old Dunst hid from the cold in between takes as she covered up with a powder blue shawl.
