Elsa Pataky proved that she knows all about the power of a little black dress. The Spanish star took to Instagram on April 24 to share her latest sartorial moment – and she looked so chic.
Styled by Victor Blancom, the model wore a black, long sleeve midi dress that featured a plunging neckline. The garment was adorned with ruched detailing and featured a daring slit on the leg. For a pop of color, Elsa wore a pair of green, snakeskin-print heels.
Elsa's luscious blonde locks were styled into voluminous waves courtesy of Beatriz Matallana while her makeup exuded soft glam, with a smoky eye and glossy lip. The actress struck a fierce pose as she was photographed inside a luxurious venue.
"It's all about glam! Thanks to all my team. @beatrizmatallana @palomarodriguezjuanes @victorblancostudio @valero_rioja @breezyavalon," she penned.
Elsa is gearing up for her milestone 50th birthday on July 18, 2026. She spoke exclusively to HELLO! about the milestone chapter last year. "I feel that I’ve taken the reins. Maturity brings you self-confidence, and I’m at an age when I know exactly what I want. Also, it brings you calm; you don’t put so much pressure on yourself," she shared. "I also feel even more eager about taking on projects, because now that my children are growing up, they don’t need me as much as they used to."
She continued: "Well, if I can inspire people to take care of themselves, feel better and take up sport, that makes me proud."

It’s beautiful to celebrate a special moment like that with those you love most; then we should get on with the next 50 years, enjoying them just as much," she added.
Elsa's toned physique
As she prepares for her fifties, the model shows no signs of slowing down and embraces an active lifestyle. Aside from cardio and weights, Elsa enjoys yoga and has been practicing the discipline for eight years. She does three 30 minute weight training sessions per week followed by a stretching session.

"I’ve learned to be patient; I was always very impatient, but with children, that’s not possible. Meditation worked for me – I’m trying to teach it to them, showing them how to take a moment and breathe. Especially Tristan, who never stops," she explained.
Chris Hemsworth and his wife reside in a sprawling $29 million AUD home in New South Wales. The home is the perfect sanctuary for raising her three children, India, and twins, Tristan and Sasha.
