SHE’S best known as the wife of Thor but Elsa Pataky is preparing to ramp up her celebrity status in Sydney.

Spanish-born actor Pataky, who married Chris Hemsworth in 2010, will add some star factor to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, when she attends the hotly anticipated event next month as a guest of fashion bible Vogue.

Pataky, 41, whose favourite Aussie labels include Maticevski, Aje, Dion Lee and Rebecca Vallance, said her style has changed throughout the years, but she has finally found what works for her.

“I have different phases, which is good. I know what I like, what I don’t like,” she said.

“I think I got to my style a few years ago and [realised] what I like and what suits my lifestyle. When I was living in Madrid, I had to [dress] more urban: when you go to dinner you wear high heels and have to be polished and have different bags — so my wardrobe was really big with lots of more elegant things.

“But if you go into my wardrobe now it’s very relaxed because I have three kids, so I can’t go out in heels.”

As well as her fashion week commitments, Pataky is set to star in a new Netflix show called Tidelands — the first Netflix series to be produced in Australia.

Filming began in Brisbane in March, which meant the Fast And The Furious actor has been close to their Byron Bay home and able to spend plenty of time with her three children.

“I am so excited about this project,” Pataky said.

“I said no to a lot of offers so I could be with my kids, but I had started thinking that I wanted to get back to work and suddenly this project came up.

“My agent called me about it and when I read the script I loved it — the character is amazing, so interesting to play, and the whole show comes at a really good moment because it’s about women. It’s a great cast and has great young people and the leads are two very strong women.”
