Elsa Pataky’s Style Secret: How the 5’2″ Star Masters Jimmy Choo Heels Beside Chris Hemsworth

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky remain one of Hollywood’s more enduring couples. Introduced by their mutual dialect coach in 2010, the pair married just months later and went on to build a family with daughter India Rose and twin sons Sasha and Tristan.

Their red-carpet appearances also continue to highlight their striking height difference: Pataky, who reportedly stands 5’2½” (158.8 cm) and wears a US shoe size 7.5, still looks petite beside Hemsworth’s towering 6’3″ (190.5 cm) frame — even when wearing towering Jimmy Choo heels.

While Elsa Pataky often gravitates toward relaxed bohemian silhouettes off duty, her 2015 red-carpet appearances showed a sharper, more daring side of her style — with statement Jimmy Choo heels playing a key role in balancing proportion, texture, and glamour against her petite frame.

The Spanish model and actress wore a risqué black long-sleeved, torn dress that gave onlookers a peek at her underwear. She amped up the sex appeal with a slick of red lipstick and a just-got-out-of-bed hairstyle.

In an attempt to glam up the tacky-looking but sexy outfit, Elsa wore a pair of Jimmy Choo “Lance” sandals, which matched the silver ball detailing around the collar of her frock.
