She's the Spanish actress who calls Byron Bay home with her gorgeous family.

And Elsa Pataky has undergone an incredible transformation over the years, with the Fate Of The Furious star showing off her age-defying good looks at 40.

Sporting a dramatically different hairstyle and wardrobe, the wife of Chris Hemsworth is barely recognisable in photos captured years earlier.

Then and now: Actress Elsa Pataky has proven to be quite the style chameleon as retro photos show the star's incredible transformation (left: date unknown, right: 2013)

It seems the style chameleon has sported all sorts of different hair colours and styles throughout her career.

One retro snap shows the Snakes On A Plane actress with a 'Rachael' style haircut and a darker shade of blonde.

The aesthetic is a far cry from Elsa's current Bohemian style that she's now famous for.

Taking the plunge: Despite the 40-year-old's wardrobe changing dramatically over the years, she appears to have always been a fan of low-cut fashion to show off her cleavage (pictured in 2001 on left and 2006 on right)

Meanwhile, the fit mum appears to have always been a fan of low-cut fashion to flaunt her cleavage.

Since relocating to Byron Bay with her husband and their three children - India Rose, four, and twins Tristan and Sasha, two - in 2014, the former model has become well-known for her healthy and wholesome lifestyle.

Last year, the fitness book author revealed her secret to maintaining her youthful appearance and glowing complexion.

The petite star told OK! magazine her body is fuelled by a healthy green juice, which she makes at home.

'An apple, a carrot, some celery with the green leaves, a lemon without the peel,' she revealed the ingredients.

Continuing with the recipe, she noted: 'Once it's done, you add a few teaspoons of olive oil. Super good.'

Based near Seven Mile Beach in a lavish $7million home with her family, Elsa often shares workout snaps and tips with her 1.2million Instagram followers.

From surfing and yoga to HIIT circuits and boxing, the busy mum is determined to stay active despite hectic work schedules.

Born in Madrid, the mother-of-three was a TV and theatre star in her native Spain before her big Hollywood break.

The blonde beauty made her debut in the Fast & Furious franchise in 2011, which propelled her to mainstream fame.
