Elsa Pataky gave her beach wardrobe a playful twist in a brown polka-dot thong bikini, pairing the two-piece with sheer white lace trousers during her Maldives getaway with friends.
The actress, 50, shared a collection of holiday images that capture everything from a barefoot bicycle outing to a group picture beside a seaplane, with her coordinated beach look taking centre stage.
In one image, Elsa stands at the water’s edge with her back to the camera, holding the brim of an oversized white sunhat as she looks out over the turquoise sea. Her bikini features a dark brown base scattered with tiny pale dots, with matching thong bottoms.

Another image offers a closer look at how Elsa styled the two-piece beyond the beach. Posing beside a white bicycle, she wears the bikini top with low-rise white lace trousers featuring a scalloped pattern, a drawstring waist and flared legs.
A wide-brimmed hat with a fringed edge and aviator sunglasses complete the outfit, while layered necklaces and gold bangles add a finishing touch. Her blonde hair falls loosely around her shoulders as she smiles beside a wooden signpost surrounded by tropical greenery.

Beach days and bicycle adventures
Elsa’s girlfriends feature throughout the album, which captures the group making the most of their island surroundings.
One image shows the women lined up with bicycles on a sandy path beneath palm trees, several raising their arms for the camera. Their baskets and relaxed beach outfits set the scene for an outing together.

The travel pictures are just as cheerful. Elsa poses alongside her companions on a wooden dock beside a seaplane, swapping her swimwear for a black sleeveless top and pale trousers, with a light layer tied around her waist.
A year of adventures at 50
The holiday follows Elsa’s milestone birthday on July 18, which husband Chris Hemsworth marked with a tribute celebrating her adventurous personality.
“Happy birthday to the forever adventurous, fun-loving, good-times-a-rollin’, gorgeous @elsapataky,” he wrote on Instagram alongside photographs of their life together.
The couple married in December 2010 and share daughter India and twin sons Sasha and Tristan. Their family is based in Byron Bay, where outdoor pursuits are a familiar part of their lives.
Sharing her favourite activities with friends
Elsa’s enthusiasm for combining an active lifestyle with time spent among friends extends beyond her beach holidays.

“Horse weekend competing, laughing, riding, enjoying and sharing my passion with my closest people!” she wrote on Instagram.
