Elsa Pataky has made waves in the beauty world with her stunning appearance on four covers of Harper’s Bazaar Spain’s June 2025 issue. The 48-year-old Spanish actress, known for her marriage to “Thor” star Chris Hemsworth, showcases her natural beauty in a water-inspired photo shoot celebrating her return to Spanish television.
The magazine’s creative team crafted four unique covers featuring Pataky in different ensembles. Shot by Vladimir Martí, the first cover features the actress in a striking nude pose, wearing an Inma Linares dress and Zara bracelets.
The second cover features Pataky in a sophisticated layered look, pairing a Sportmax rhinestone top with an American Vintage knit bodysuit. The third cover features an elegant Giorgio Armani dress. The fourth cover, designed for subscribers, showcases a sleek Mugler bodysuit that emphasizes Pataky’s toned physique.
The entire photoshoot revolves around water as a central element, reflecting Pataky’s deep personal connection to this natural force. The actress shared her thoughts on the significance of water in her life, explaining that the sound of water calms her and that water is part of her identity. This theme resonates perfectly with her lifestyle in Byron Bay, Australia, where she has lived with her family since 2014.
The water motif appears throughout the shoot in various forms. There are shots of the actress posing with a blue-toned blanket reminiscent of ocean depths, as well as shots that give the illusion of a mermaid tail. These creative elements highlight her beauty and her connection to the coastal lifestyle she embraces.
Make-up artist and hairstylist Vicky Marcos created stunning beauty looks to complement each outfit, with Beatriz Martínez Velasco handling production.
The styling extended beyond the covers and included luxury fashion brands such as Schiaparelli, Calzedonia, Redondo Brand, Jean Paul Gaultier, Pucci, and Tom Ford.
This Harper’s Bazaar Spain feature celebrates Pataky’s return to Spanish fiction after two decades of focusing on international projects and family life. She stars in the psychological thriller series “Matices.”
In recent interviews, Pataky opened up about balancing her professional ambitions with motherhood and her marriage to Hemsworth. She emphasized the importance of patience and personal growth.
In addition to her entertainment career, Pataky has made a name for herself in the beauty industry with her skincare line, Purely Byron, launched in 2022. The brand reflects her commitment to natural, sustainable beauty products inspired by her Australian home.
