TOP Chef star Padma Lakshmi has stunned fans with her impressive figure, posing completely naked for a photoshoot.
The Bravo personality posed for photos covered only by a sheer black garment that left her butt and underboob exposed.
Padma, 53, stood in front of a light gray backdrop cloaked in the tulle fabric with one hand covering her breasts.
Her long black hair was styled in bouncy curls that hung around her back and shoulders.
In one photo, she popped her hip to one side and bent one knee as she gave a coy look at the camera.
Another snap from the shoot showed Padma from the side with one leg slightly forward and bent.
The Top Chef star’s hands cupped her breasts as she looked straight into the camera.
Padma also took to the water for the photo shoot, posing in thigh-deep water while wearing a sexy white one-piece.
The photos, shot by Ethan James Green, will appear in the 2025 Pirelli Calendar.
SERVING BODY
Padma isn’t afraid to show off her body, recently appearing in several racy photoshoots.
On June 8, she posted photos from a lingerie photoshoot on her Instagram feed, leaving fans speechless.
The TV personality flaunted her curvy figure, posing in various pieces from her Bare Necessities collection.
She captioned the post, “What’s catching your eye in the collection? Padma X Bare Necessities is out now, go to my link in bio to take a peek!”
The first photo in the carousel showed the author wearing a playful look that featured a white button-up shirt over a black bra and panties.
Her hair was in a messy updo with bangs hanging over a portion of her face.
The second snap showed Padma touseling her hair as she stood with her back turned to a full-length mirror.
Padma Lakshmi Shows
Padma Lakshmi is known for her role on Top Chef but she’s appeared in a number of food-focused show. The celebrity chef has expanded her horizons, writing books and dabbling in fashion, though fans will always associate her with the Bravo competition series.
Here’s a look at some shows Padma Lakshmi has appeared in:
- Top Chef
- Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi
- Planet Food
- Top Chef: Seattle
- Padma’s Late Night Bites
- Melting Pot
- Top Chef: Las Vegas
She wore a sexy black bodysuit that accentuated her curves and showed off her bust.
The reflection of her back revealed her nearly bare butt in a thong.
In the final snap in the bunch, Padma let her long hair fall over her shoulders.
She wore a sheer cover-up and a bra and thong set that showed off her toned tummy and long legs.
Padma stared off while she touched the tie that would have kept the cover-up she had on closed.
Fans in the comments fawned over the star, with one gushing, “At 53 you’re hotter than two 25 year olds!”
“And so beautiful in body and spirit! Timeless!” commented another.
“Beauty, brains, and confidence … what more can you ask for,” praised a third person.
“Talented chef, natural beauty, and beautiful lingerie! A truly unique person!” added a fourth.
STILL SEXY
A month earlier, Padma again modeled pieces from Bare Necessities pieces, allowing her body to shine.
The celebrity foodie showed off the looks on Instagram, starting with a swimsuit that featured long sleeves and a zipper down the chest.
Her hair appeared wet and was slung over one shoulder as she stuck a leg out to one side.
In a video included with the post, Padma appeared to demonstrate how the zipper worked while taking a swipe at critics.
“So you guys keep telling me to wear a bra,” she said, standing with her top unzipped.
“So stay tuned.”
Other photos from the shoot, shared in their own posts, showed her modeling in a mirror while applying a lip product.
Her butt was fully exposed in a black thong one-piece.
A third pic showed her lying on a white piece of furniture in a bright two-piece lingerie set.
She also modeled in a blue outfit with a paisley duster and in black lingerie with a sheer white cover-up.
Fans in the comments gushed over her appearance.
“Padma if I’m not you at 50 I’d be very disappointed,” one person fawned.
“You’re the sexiest mother, chef and role model ever,” wrote a second.
“Well, if you must wear a bra, it might as well be one of those!” joked a third.
