She recently stepped away to work on other projects including her Hulu show Taste the Nation.
Her newfound freedom seems to have allowed her to travel more according to her recent Instagram post.
On Saturday, she shared two photos from a recent tropical trip, and it looked like she was in Hawaii.
In the snaps, Padma wore a tiny black string bikini that showed off her amazing and toned body.
She was also rocking a flower crown made of purple and white blooms.
The first photo showed her standing on top of a large cliff with a lunch green mountain behind her.
She had her hand on her hip and one leg popped out and bent at the knee as she stared into the distance.
In the second photo, the model was standing on a picture-perfect beach while holding an orange scarf covered in butterflies.
She held the scarf up as the ocean breeze pushed it out behind her to create a beautiful effect.
In the comment section, fans claimed that Padma’s “still got it” as they complimented her beauty in the pics.
EVERYONE LOVED PADMA
Since Padma decided to leave Top Chef, the producers were forced to replace the beloved host, and they hit the nail on the head.
Her departure allowed another Top Chef rising star to take the wheel for Season 21.
The season premiere introduced Kristen Kish, 40, as the show’s new host.
Kristen won the tenth season of the reality show, and at the time she was only the second female to ever win.
Top Chef: Wisconsin premiered on March 20, and she kicked off the season by introducing herself.
Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons, the two judges, greeted the unseasoned host with a warm welcome.
Tom even admitted that he plans on going “head to head” with Kristen at the judge’s table.
This season’s contestants were also happy to see her, although it was a bit nerve-wracking for some.
Fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, expressed their mourning for Padma, but many also thought that Kristen was a great replacement.
Some are excited to see what she’ll wear during the show, while others think her personality suits the position.
