Padma Lakshmi exuded confidence as she flaunted her toned figure in colorful lingerie in new Instagram photos shared over the weekend on Saturday.
The TV personality, 53, who recently expressed that “women’s bodies change” while promoting her collaboration with Bare Necessities, could be seen standing next to a large window as natural sunlight streamed in.
She showed off her incredible physique in a $68 low-cut magenta bra with a lace back, as well as matching $20 lace pants.
The Top Chef star also accessorized the eye-catching look with a $138 Medallion kimono that was made up of colorful details printed into the material.
Her dark locks were parted down the middle and flowed effortlessly over her shoulders in light waves.

Lakshmi wrote in the caption, ‘Too cozy to soak in the golden hour light anywhere else! Have you received your @barenecessities yet? Show me if you’ve done it!’
The Padma x Bare Necessities line officially launched late last month on May 30, and includes not only lingerie, but also loungewear and swimwear just in time for the summer season.
Earlier this month, the author wowed in a pink bra and matching underwear as she struck a variety of modeling poses.
She opened up to DailyMail.com about the collection with Bare Necessities, stating: “I know women’s bodies change and have different needs.”
‘I hope this collection makes you not only look good but also feel good. “I hope my selection is versatile and makes women feel not only like they have something pretty and special, but it’s also functional,” she said.
Padma, who went from a 34C bra size to a 36DD, also explained that she “always wanted to do a lingerie line.”

She further explained, “I hope everyone enjoys the lingerie, but I designed it for women who might be a little more well-endowed.”
“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that my breasts have gotten larger, and if you have a larger bust, you often don’t get enough coverage.”
She also admitted that increasing her bra size was something she “wasn’t ready for.”
“So I wanted something that looked pretty, but provided the support a larger busted woman needs, without looking matronly,” she said. “We also have things like a beautiful bikini that looks great on women with smaller busts.”
Lakshmi continued: ‘As I got older, I needed more support; My breasts have gotten bigger and my hips have gotten curvier.
And I value comfort more than before. When I was young, I didn’t mind wearing uncomfortable things to look good, but now I’m not willing to do it so easily.’
The star later added that “lingerie can improve your mood,” saying, “Even if you’re wearing jeans and a T-shirt, it can make you feel classy inside.”
Regarding one of her favorite items from the collection, she revealed that it is the “zip lycra with mesh panels.”

‘When you go to the beach you have to put on sunscreen, but it’s a pain, especially if you’re a mom or have a lot to do. “This swimsuit is a one-piece, with long sleeves for added coverage,” she said.
“It’s a very utilitarian suit that also looks sporty, sexy and elegant in a Bond Girl style, but without being too revealing. If you wanted to be more modest, it would be good to wear it,” she added.
At the end of last month, in May, he said Us weekly who has entered his “sexual peak” at the age of 53.
‘Look, I’m at my sexual peak. Let’s just say what it is. Am. And I feel very good about that. “I don’t care what other people think,” she stated.
“I don’t care what my mother thinks unless she’s very supportive,” Padma said, admitting that in the past she had “really lived in fear.”
‘I come from a very conservative South Indian family. “I was terrified that my grandfather was going to see those Helmut Newton photographs,” she explained. But I am free of all that. I just didn’t meet his expectations at all.’
At her current age of 53 and weighing 35 pounds more than when she was 20, the model revealed that she now feels “a lot sexier.”
‘I love it. She wouldn’t go back to that body. I love saying I’m 53… and people say, “Oh, you don’t look 53.” And I said, “No. That’s also what 53 looks like.”
Early last week, while at LAX, Padma revealed to TMZ who does not want his 14-year-old daughter Krishna to follow in his footsteps as a model.
‘As a model, no, of course not. First of all, she doesn’t need the money. I would like her to do something that involved her intellect, her creativity and her talent,” the star said. “It’s not that there isn’t creativity in modeling.”
‘But it’s not a good life for a young woman and I don’t think she needs it. She needed the money. I paid off my college loans that way. But she has many more resources than I did when she was a child.
Lakshmi continued: ‘As I got older, I needed more support; My breasts have gotten bigger and my hips have gotten curvier.

‘In fact, I have discouraged her from modelling. I’ve had people come up to him and I just said, “No.”
