Elsa Pataky wears ruffles, wet-look hair to her fitness book launch: cute or tragic?

FFN_GTRES_Pataky_Elsa_060414_51439639

Here are some new photos of Elsa Pataky in Beverly Hills Madrid yesterday. She was launching her new fitness book, Max Intensity, which she cowrote with Fernando Sartorius. According to Elsa’s Instagram, it’s a book about sporting a “new philosophy” about workouts and how to get in shape in 90 days. Ninety days… three months… well, it seems like a more comprehensive workout strategy than the “28 day” workout plans or whatever. But you’ve got to know that as soon as you get past those 90 days and drop the workout, you’re probably going to gain whatever weight back.

I kind of wonder if this is Elsa’s new thing? Like, she’s not even doing the acting thing anymore. She’s just moved straight into “married to an A-list actor” territory. Her focus is on taking care of their kids, plus whatever “make work” side projects she’s got, like blogging for Glamour Spain. And writing 90-day workout books. And calling the paps. And banging Chris Hemsworth.

As for her look at the book launch… this outfit is so tragic. It’s really, really bad. And it’s weird because Elsa looks great after giving birth three months ago, so you’d think she would wear something less… goth/glam and RUFFLED. This was an opportunity for a really clean, fresh look. Elsa also did that totally ‘80s wet-look hair style for the event. I have mixed feelings. She is super-pretty, but I’m tired of her short hair and I’m not a fan of the wet-look.

    Wow. That outfit + hair combo is um, intensidad.

  2. AC says:

    This woman could not look tragic if she tried. Not loving the hair or the outfit…but that face!! gorgeous.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      Ditto. She’s a doll. Not loving the dress, but definitely not tragic.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I know people love to hate her around here, but I think she’s beautiful.

      I don’t even think the outfit is as awful as everyone else does.

    • Kate2 says:

      I don’t know anything about her outside of being CH’s wife, but she’s gorgeous. The fact she has not only had 3 kids, but had TWINS just 3 months ago and looks like THAT is truly amazing. No shade on her for not acting anymore. She seems to be doing ok. She’s got her kids and her projects so good for her.

      Don’t like the outfit but I like the hair. It works for her and she has an exquisite face, so she should show it off.

      Is it weird I don’t have long-term hopes for the marriage? Not for any reason other than gut feeling? Its awful to say I know and I don’t wish it on them at all, especially since there are kids involved, its just a strange feeling I have.

    • krtmom says:

      I agree! She looks awesome!

  3. eliza says:

    She is annoying but I will give her this, she looks wonderful after having popped out twins not terribly long ago. Good for her. A celeb fitness book?! Pffffffffft!

      +1

      Looking so good after giving birth to three kids . I might look into her fitness book for some tips.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      She looks incredibly FIT, not skinny.
      I don’t know…whatever she’s doing is working.

  4. nk868 says:

    if you stop doing any work out/diet you’ll gain the weight back…….

  5. aims says:

    I gotta give it to her; she looks good for having three babies.

  6. Racer says:

    Is her husband A-list? I had no idea. Seems like the typical brawns, brute action hero actor with roles that will never be mistaken for intellectual.

    Everything about her look is very BAD.

    • starrywonder says:

      Eh. Chris Hemsworth is not quite A list. His movies other than Thor or the Avenger one have not done that great when he is in the lead starring role. Hope his movie about the real Moby Dick does well. I loved that book.

      And yeah she looks a hot mess.

    • Kate2 says:

      I’d say B list, maybe B+ list if we’re feeling generous. No shame in that, I think most actors with success reside there. “A” list to me is Leo, Angie, Brad. Scarlett, RDJ, SLJ (if you’re going to rate Avengers actors) are A listers. People you know by first name or just initials.

      But CH’s status and fame, like most of the Avengers group, is pretty dependent on the Marvel fanbase, in my opinion. Which is still considerable, obviously. They each may have varying levels of recognition outside that fanbase but are otherwise not “one name” famous because the Marvel/comic book fanbase is so specific and specialized. Scarlett, RDJ and SLJ were well known for other things before the Avengers came along. Again, this is just my opinion.

      I hope In the Heart of the Sea is great though. I loved that book (and Nantucket is one of my favorite places on Earth) so I am really rooting for it.

  7. Ali J says:

    Love the outfit

  8. T.Fanty says:

    She is so beautiful, and just consistently dresses so badly. That outfit is pure 1990s Eurotrash.

  9. HH says:

    She’s so thirsty for any type of fame. It’s just so apparent any time I see her.

  10. AnnE says:

    She is a mom of twins and a toddler, no time for fussy hair! Besides if I had a face like that I would have my hair short and slicked back like that also. The outfit, whatever, it`s not that bad. Could she have gone a different direction, sure but them maybe that`s not her.

  11. amy says:

    I can’t decide if her unique engagement ring (and may be there’s a wedding band too?!) is fug or not.

  12. Jules says:

    She looks great!

  13. Missy says:

    What is she famous for??

  14. FingerBinger says:

    I like it. The wet hair look reminds me of Brigitte Nielsen back in the day.

  15. dorothy says:

    I like her. I think she looks amazing.

  16. Carrie says:

    The hair, skirt, and shoes aren’t bad, but it would’ve looked better with a simpler top.

  17. Daria says:

    So the book is only is Spanish I’m guessing?

  18. RobN says:

    Don’t think she could ever look truly awful.

  19. BooBooLaRue says:

    Why does she remind me of Tracy Anderson?

  20. Intro Outro says:

    She’s exceptionally pretty, but I’m not digging her outfit either. I’d love to see her in something less girly and perhaps more elegant..? And a longer skirt. I just do not like this length. Imo it fits only pretty tall women with very slim legs.

  21. Miss Scarlet says:

    She was a terrible actress. May as well try a new career while she’s got Thor to pay the bills.

  22. jujoki says:

    I just can’t with this woman. Goldigger. Known her since the early 90s. And yes, I’m Spanish.
    Bad actress, just trying to get an A-list.

  23. siri says:

    The outfit looks cheap, the shoes are ugly- but what a pretty face.

  24. Ice says:

    I think she looks incredible. Nothing much going on upstairs with her though. But she seems genuine and amazingly presented just about always (except for the aquamarine heavily pregnant under belly dress as some film premiere).

  25. aquarius64 says:

    Let’s be honest; she wouldn’t have this book deal if she wasn’t Mrs. Chris Hemsworth. Elsa’s fame level is one part Kardashian and three parts Pippa Middleton: the paps keeps her in the news and the marriage gets her jobs. She was in Thor: The Dark World doubling as Natalie Portman’s Jane in one of the end credit scene. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got a part in the new Avengers movie. (he was photographed in the cast dinner released on social media.)
