PADMA Lakshmi has shared a new photo featuring a skintight swimsuit and her curvy figure.
On Friday, Padma, 53, shared the photo on her Instagram Feed for her followers to enjoy.
The photo was a mirror selfie taken in a luxurious bathroom with several perfume bottles on the counter.
She was rocking a black one-piece swimsuit held up with two thin black straps.
There seemed to be a black ribbing around the torso of the one-piece to add structure to the garment.
The top was extremely low-cut, but the leg cutouts came up high on her hips.
Her outfit showed off the Top Chef alum’s incredible and natural curves.
There was no filter on the picture, and Padma wasn’t wearing any makeup in the snap.
She captioned the photo, “I have an exciting new project for you very soon…”
However, she did not give any hints, other than the photo, as to what the project could be.
In the comment section, fans gushed over the picture of the Bravo star.
One said, “Padma breaking the internet again,” with a fire emoji.”
“Yes ma’am… ATE and left not one crumb,” added another.
A third wrote, “Girl you cannot do this to us mere mortals,” with crying emojis.
“Fair to say we are all also excited to see this project,” commented a fan.
A fifth joked, “Padma, you’ve just won yourself immunity.”
HER REPLACEMENT
Padma left Top Chef to work on other projects in addition to the new mystery project.
She’s also been focusing on writing more books and her Hulu series Taste the Nation.
She was on Top Chef for a total of 19 seasons, but her departure allowed another woman to become the host of the cooking show.
Starting Season 21, Kristen Kish, 40, became the new host, but she’s not new to the show.
She was the winner of the tenth season of Top Chef making her the franchise’s second female winner.
Fans online admitted that they miss Padma on the show, but Kristen has been doing an excellent job as host.
