Elsa Pataky, 47, shows off her fit physique in a G-string swimming costume as she hits the beach with friends in Byron Bay – before returning to her car to discover a parking fine

Elsa Pataky showed off her incredibly fit physique in a very revealing swimsuit as she hit the beach at Byron Bay with friends on Wednesday.

The Spanish actress, 47, who recently quashed rumors of marital problems with husband Chris Hemsworth, smiled as she enjoyed a dip during the girls’ outing.

The mother-of-three looked fit and fabulous, showing off her slim physique in a rust-colored swimsuit with a plunging neckline, backless detailing and cheeky thong bottoms.

She accessorized her look with bohemian-inspired pendant necklaces, bracelets, and several rings, including what appeared to be her wedding ring.

Elsa also tied her hair into a messy ponytail and protected her makeup-free face under a pair of aviator sunglasses.

A source close to the couple recently said this In contact magazine that despite maintaining a united front for their family and spending Christmas together, the duo has been growing apart for some time.
