Lily James was having fun filming on the set of her new movie Swiped on Tuesday, as she was spotted aboard a Hollywood tour bus in Pasadena, California.
The 35-year-old British actress plays Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd in the film, which is inspired by her epic rise as the youngest ever female billionaire.
Production began on the biopic in late March and is expected to end this month, with Lily having previously been seen filming at Pomona College in Claremont.
This time, the star seemed to be having a blast on set as she was being driven around in a large bus.
Lily flashed a smile while being carted around in the vehicle and filmed by a cameraman.

The actress was glowing in the sun as she wore her blonde tresses down and donned a pair of sunglasses for the scene.
In another snap, she cut a serious look as she glanced out of the bus, which has the writing 'Final Footsteps Tour' on the side, while it was driving away.
After a swift outfit change, Lily made her way across the set in a blue cami top, a mini skirt and some black tights.
While filming previously in June, she donned Bumble merchandise such as a white sweater featuring a yellow stripe across the chest with the dating app's logo in black.
The British actress also carried a yellow Bumble tote bag while filming scenes and talking with director Rachel Lee Goldenberg.
The film was announced back in March, with the report from Deadline stating that it will be 'inspired' by Wolfe Herd's true story, and won't be 'based' on her actual life.
There is no indication yet on how the film will differ from the actual rise of Wolfe Herd, who got her entrepreneurial start in her early 20s at Tinder.
She was credited with changing the name from the initial MatchBox to Tinder, and helped grow its user base on college campuses during her tenure as Marketing VP.

Wolfe, now 35, became the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world when she took Bumble public in 2021 after launching in 2014
She left the company in 2014 after two years, and filed a sexual harassment lawsuit later that year, receiving more than $1 million plus stock in the settlement.
Wolfe Herd moved to Austin in 2015 and founded Bumble, the female-focused dating app that had over 80 million matches in its first year alone.
She took Bumble public in 2021, with Forbes calling her the world's youngest self-made female billionaire at just 31 years of age.
Wolfe Herd stepped down as Bumble CEO in November 2023 to take an executive chair role, with Slack's Lidiane Jones replacing her.
Lily, who will transform into the CEO, got her start in 2010 in episodes of Just William and a 2011 arc on Secret Diary of a Call Girl and her role as Lady Rose MacClare on Downton Abbey.
She made her film debut in 2012's Wrath of the Titans, and just three years later had her breakthrough as the title role in 2015's Cinderella from director Kenneth Branagh.
The actress continued to work regularly in Burnt, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Baby Driver, Darkest Hour, Little Woods, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Yesterday.
She most recently starred in FX's Pam & Tommy as Pamela Anderson and The Iron Claw, and she'll next be seen in Greedy People, in theaters October 10.
