Elsa Pataky in a gauzy, see-through dress in Madrid: tacky or gorgeous?

Here are some photos of Elsa Pataky at the 2013 Yo Dona International Awards in Madrid, Spain yesterday. Chris Hemsworth was not there, at least he’s not in any of these photos and I suspect he’s currently working in LA. I don’t have the designer ID on this dress… but I do sort of like it. I mean, it’s a good choice for her, it looks good on her (really nice, athletic) body and it’s flattering. Is the see-through gauzy quality of the material kind of tacky? Sure. Is she just some gold thread away from showing the world EVERYTHING? Yep. But it works.

I actually forget that Elsa is Spanish. My first associations with her were from her relationships with Adrian Brody (RIP, Brody’s Castle) and Olivier Martinez, which means that I always think of her as more American/Canadian/French rather than Spanish. But she is Spanish, and coming to this Madrid awards show was some kind of homecoming for her. Hilariously, it looks like she won an award too. Was it for her Oscar-worthy work in the Fast & Furious franchise? Or was it for marrying Chris Hemsworth?

As for Chris… he’s confirmed for The Avengers 2, and Robert Downey Jr. just signed on for two Avengers sequels yesterday as well. Which means that Chris’s career is still going like gangbusters and they’ll be making Thor movies and Avengers movies for years to come. In fact, Chris’s superhero scheduling is so jam-packed that he’s turning down other projects because of scheduling. RDJ is getting a reported $50 million for two more Avengers movies. I wonder how much Chris is getting? I wonder if Elsa realized what a good bet she made when she married him?
